Funny movies thread

Recommended Posts

This is a thread to post funny movies and give recommendations.

I watched a couple of videos Thursday night with my son. My requirements were that they be funny, and reasonably close to brainlessly witty.

I highly recommend Super Troopers. He told me it was one step up from "Dumb and Dumber" (thank goodness). But it's good and funny, and good and stupid, without pandering.

If you're a police officer without a sense of humor, this is probably not a good movie. And if you're someone with a chip on their shoulder about the police, this is probably not a good movie.

Need more suggestions

Anything by the Zucker Brothers (Airplane!, Kentucky Fried Movie) and early Mel Brooks (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, History of the World, Part I).

But one of the funniest movies I ever saw was "Showgirls." I thought it was supposed to be a drama...

I like the stupid comedies like Dumb and Dumber and American Pie. There is a really funny movie in the theater right now called Old School. I have gone to see it twice - which I never usually go to the movies anyway. I couldn't stop laughing.

No one here has mentioned UHF.

It's got Wierd Al Yankovic and Micheal Richards.

It has a very immature type of humor but there is nothing quite like it around.

depending on the age of your son, any of the jersey trilogy, with the exception of chasing amy, that, while it was a very good movie, wasn't as funny as the other four (how many commas can one put in a sentence?)

i'm with the others on the zucker movies. you might also consider coen brothers movies (raising arizona or brother where art thou) if he has/enjoys a drier sense of humour.

edited again because i still can't spell.

Well, since we've sufficiently hijacked the "Anybody know this guy?" thread with it, I might as well put it in the thread where it belongs... if you haven't seen the movie "Office Space," you NEED to make it the next movie you rent. It's HILARIOUS.
