Top 10 comedy flicks

[slickpoppa]

Alright, it was hard to narrow it down to 10, but here's my list:

1. Airplane!
2. Austin Powers
3. National Lampoon's Vacation
4. The Naked Gun
5. Spaceballs
6. Caddyshack
7. Animal House
8. So I Married an Axe Murderer
9. Ghostbusters
10. Clue

I'm sure a lot of people would put Monty Python up there, but that was never my style.

[CrazyEyez]

I'd have to put Dumb and Dumber on the list.

[slickpoppa]

yeah, that just barely missed the cut

[thirddan]

no comedy list is complete without young frankenstein and blazing saddles...

[BusterStacks]

i only like your top 5

[natedogg]

You have a strong preference for screwball comedies based on your list.

I'd put Big Lebowski, and Fish Called Wanda on my list.

And the original Pink Panther, absolutely brilliant.

natedogg

[maryfield48]

Groundhog Day. And a second for Fish called Wanda.

[Sponger15SB]

While I think all of your selections are funny movies, not all belong on a true top ten list. I actually just watched Airplane like a 1/2 hour ago. Also....

I thought I was the only person on earth who thought this movie was freakin hilarious.

[billyjex]

Office Space!! My favorite comedy.

Naked Gun, have not seen that in years. Hilarious.

[Danenania]

Order is very tricky. Depends on mood. All are subject to whim and heavily influenced by most recent viewings.

1. Big Lebowski
2. Caddyshack
3. Office Space
4. Princess Bride
5. Austin Powers
6. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
7. Sleeper
8. Fletch
9. The Jerk
10. Mall Rats

[bugstud]

yeah, how the heck was office space not on this list.

[SGS]

What about Fight Club? I know most people don't categorize it as one but I think it actually is, just a very dark one. Anyway it's a bad ass movie and very funny at times.

SGS

[plaster8]

1. Airplane!
2. This is Spinal Tap
3. Office Space
4. Animal House
5. Caddyshack
6. The Naked Gun
7. There's Something About Mary
8. Clerks
9. Bull Durham
10. Major League

[nicky g]

How is South Park on noone's list?

[HesseJam]

How about Billy Wilder's "To be or not to be"?

[nicky g]

Yah there are plenty of old films that should be on there, but I didn't really expect to see them. South Park though...

[Blarg]

The Gold Rush (Chaplin)
Boudu Saved From Drowning (Renoir)
Love and Death (Woody Allen)
Airplane
Naked Gun(sorta)
Return of the Pink Panther(I think that's the one where Dreyfuss is in the castle)
Young Frankenstein (Brooks)
After Hours (Scorcese)
Animal House
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (Ebert wrote it, Russ Meyer film)

Okay, I don't count so good.

[dr. klopek]

The 'Burbs
Cannibal the Musical
Waiting for Guffman
Office Space
One Crazy Summer
Half Baked
Big Lebowski
...
This is too hard.

[aquifex harse]

Fletch.... genius

[Topflight]

Caddyshack
The Jerk
Airplane
Naked Gun

I can't even think of a word to describe how unfunny these movies are.

[Topflight]

Some Funny Movies:

Tommy Boy
Meet the Parents
Major Payne
Happy Gilmore
Old School

[jagoff]

Cannibal the Musical

NICE! What no Orgasmo?

[spamuell]

What no Orgasmo?

Orgasmo is funny. Suggesting it should be in the top 10 comedy films ever is hilarious.

[spamuell]

Austin Powers

The second one, right? That was by far the best.

I would include The Passion of The Christ.

6. What's Up Doc?
7. History of the World Part I
8. Young Frankenstein
9. Happy Gilmore
10. Real Genius

[Clarkmeister]

Where's Ferris Bueller?

Personal favorite Let it Ride.

Real favorite Princess Bride.

Kingpin should be up there also.

Office space was great for half the movie. The other half blew.

[andyfox]

Planes, Trains and Automobiles: I wasn't a John Candy fan, but he was wonderful here.

Duck Soup: My favorite Marx Brothers movie. The mirror scene alone is worth it. And Chico and Harpo don't play the piano and harp, an extra bonus. "Hail, hail, Fredonia."

Modern Times: Chaplin's greatest movie. Tons of great scenes, including the best roller skating you've ever seen.

The In-Laws: Not the recent un-funny one with Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks, but the original with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin. "Serpentine, Shelly, serpentine."

The Frisco Kid: Gene Wilder as a rabbi out west (with Harrison Ford). "I don't want to hurt nobody."

The Producers: The original non-musical features an outrageous performance (his only kind) by Zero Mostel, another great Gene Wilder role, and Dick Shawn as Hitler. "Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi Party."

The Freshman: Brando playing Brando playing the Godfather. "Carmine said one boy, here are two."

Some Like It Hot: Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in drag. And it's got Marilyn Monroe in a clingy dress. And Joe E. Brown. "Nobody's perfect."

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: not really a comedy, but Eli Wallach's performance is a comic classic. "If you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk."

The Odd Couple: Walter Matthau at his best. "Now it's gahbage."

[Slacker13]

Vacation
Planes Trains & Automobiles
Something about mary
Dumb & Dumber
Spaceballs
Caddy Shack
Animal House
Old School
Uncle Buck
Me, Myself & Irene
Clerks

[Clarkmeister]

That's a quality list.

I'm not saying we won't get our hair mussed...

[AngryCola]

I don't think any of the titles on the OPs list would be on mine....well...except maybe Airplane!

I'm not a fan of doing top tens for movies or music, but lets at least include a classic:

Monty Python and Holy Grail

[astroglide]

good observation. the first half of office space is what makes the movie.

[astroglide]

i can see arguments for a lot of them but i don't think old school can be up there, there has to be better than me myself and irene as well.

[theghost]

Major Payne is mad funny, but Meet the Parents?

[oddjob]

i can't believe no one else mention kingpin.

another one i love and watch over and over again is supertroopers.

[Topflight]

I don't know if it would be on my top ten as well. I just listed some movies that popped into my head and made me smile that moment.

It would take me a while to find my actual top notch favorites. I just wanted to point out that early 80s comedies aren't even funny to me. I seriously don't laugh at all.

Caddyshack and The Jerk(1979), I really gave them a chance. I guess I'm just too young. I just stare at the screen in awe of how bad it is, then I become bored and have to turn it off.

That can be the only explanation for actually liking Zoolander and thinking Monty Python is annoying.

*HINT* It's a joke, because I disagree with you.

[JustPlayingSmart]

Here is my top 10 in no particular order.

About a Boy
Groundhog Day
Austin Powers
Meet the Parents
Old School
My Cousin Vinny
Philadelphia Story
Annie Hall
Big

That is 9, I go to lunch.

[astroglide]

the jerk was one i saw late and i thought it was okay, no laughing out loud though that i recall. still haven't seen caddyshack. i agree about the 80s movies in general but fletch and christmas vacation etc are still enjoyable to me.

[Topflight]

haha, I didn't need the hint.

About a Boy. A++

"I'd be the worst possible Godfather. I'd probably drop her on her head at her christening. I'd forget all her birthdays until she was 18. Then I'd take her out and get her drunk. And, let's face it, quite possibly try and shag her. "


"It was terrible! Terrible! But driving really fast behind the ambulance was fantastic! "

[andyfox]

I didn't find About a Boy tremendously funny, but thought it was a wonderful movie. Hugh Grant was superb. He's really a terrific comic actor, IMO, in the footsteps of Cary Grant.

[theghost]

In no particular order:

Blazing Saddles
From Beijing With Love
The Big Lebowski
South Park the Movie
The Blues Brothers
Annie Hall
Dr. Strangelove
Pee Wee's Big Adventure
Return of the Living Dead
Cannibal Holocaust (oh wait, that's not funny /images/graemlins/tongue.gif)

[shant]

I'm glad someone mentioned Tommy Boy and My Cousin Vinny.

Also, Half Baked doesn't get much love, but that's how I first got into Dave Chapelle.

[John Cole]

You were doing fine until you got to Animal House.

Here's one made in the past twenty-five years: Tootsie, okay Manhattan, too.

After that, you can basically forget it. In fact, you can begin and end the list with Preston Sturges, Chaplin, the Marx Brothers (everybody likes a bit of anarchy), and Jacques Tati.

Boudu is a good choice, though.

[Drac]

Lots of recycling on my list except for my #1 slot. Surprised it hasn't been mentioned at all yet. Same with Dogma.

1. Better Off Dead
2. Slap Shot
3. Princess Bride
4. MP Holy Grail
5. Caddyshack
6. Spinal Tap
7. Office Space
8. Old School
9. Dogma
10. Tommy Boy

[TJSWAN]

Lots of good pick here folks, but i don't see the original
M.A.S.H. movie .

Kudos to Clarkmeister for nominating the small gem that is
" Let it Ride "


Jennifer Tilly " Yeah, my legs go all the way from my ass to the floor " or something like that. Priceless.

[B00T]

Have you seen some of the crap these people have posted??

Who in their right mind would think Groundhog Day is funnier than Billy Madison. Happy Gilmore was pretty good, but it fails in comparison to Billy Madison. This was easily Sandler's best movie of the 10 he made.

There should be about 5 posts proceeding this one to the extent of "How did I forget that one"

[fsuplayer]

in no particular order:

meet the parents
caddyshack
office space
Dr. Strangelove (how was this mentioned only once?)

[theBruiser500]

Your lists all suck, I do not see Mad Mad Mad Mad World, Anchorman, Liar Liar, Cable Guy mentioned once.

I don't know. I wouldn't put either of them on the list. Groundhog Day was a decent movie, but certainly not comedy gold.

Cable guy is a horrible movie. Jim Carrey will tell you the same thing.

Liar Liar is pretty bad, as well. Both of those movies are bad, and definitely don't deserve to be on any best comedies list.

[WEASEL45]

Dumb and Dumber
Rush Hour 2
Friday
Space Balls
Beverly Hills Ninja
The Big Lebowski
The Terminal
Punch Drunk Love

[andyfox]

"Cable guy is a horrible movie. Jim Carrey will tell you the same thing"

Maybe. But I liked it. It was just strange enough for me.
It certainly wasn't terribly funny.

One of the funniest lines ever in movies, though, for me, was when he took Broderick's chicken skin, put it onto his face, and said, "You're looking lovely tonight, Clarisse."

[andyfox]

A lot of movie comedy is aimed at teenagers or those almost teenagers on either side. I'm now 51. I remember the movies that were aimed at teenagers as being funny when I was younger. But a lot of the movies on many of the lists here I have either not seen or found profoundly unfunny (Meet the Parents, Something About Mary, Austin Powers).

One nobody's mentioned yet, I think, that I thought was funny was Analyze This.

[Danenania]

Rat Race is really funny too. Forgot about that one.

[Schneids]

Not Another Teen Movie

i didnt read all only a few so some may be repeated but these are some that i thought might be worthy

dumb and dumber

national lampoons christmas vacation '

[AngryCola]

I have to agree with you on the different generations point. I don't think many of these movies are funny, either. Maybe Austin Powers, but Top 10? Eh... I don't know.

The problem is, if it is a generational thing, I'm really out of place. I'm only 22, and I haven't seen many quality comedies produced in the last 5 years, at least.

There are a few, but not many. /images/graemlins/spade.gif

[AngryCola]

Stripes and Coming to America are both quality choices. Good stuff.

[beerbandit]

beautiful i forgot about friday thats a great movie -- i should watch that soon

In no particular order:

The Naked Gun

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Midnight Run

* - A special mention should go out to Hard Target, which is still the funniest movie I have ever seen which was not intended to be a comedy.

FWIW, that was the toughest addition - I almost added a parenthetical that I can take it or leave it now, but when I saw it, I nearly cried. John Gielgud was so damned funny in that movie, it hurt!

[Non_Comformist]

One my favorite Eddie Murphy movies.

[stripsqueez]

so i married an axe murderer is a funny film unlike other films that guy has made which were particularly unfunny

i didnt laugh at 80% of the movies mentioned - you guys have crap taste

a night on earth - the castle - these are very funny movies

[WillMagic]

Man...there are some really bad lists out here. It's ok to have a movie that was made more than six or seven years ago, guys.

1. Dr. Strangelove (Kubrick)

Obviously. It's my favorite movie of all time, so it has to make the top of this list.

2. A Shot in the Dark (Edwards)

The first and funniest Pink Panther movie. Easily my favorite pure slapstick comedy. Peter Sellers has to be the funniest man ever to grace the silver screen.

3. Blazing Saddles (Brooks)
4. The Producers (Brooks)

"I get no kick from cocaaaainnne...."
"When you've got it, flaunt it! Flaunt it!"
Brooks is hilarious. Young Frankenstein nearly made this list as well. No one was better at writing one-liners than Brooks, and no one was better at delivering them than Gene Wilder.

5. Best In Show (Guest)

Oddly enough, I still haven't gotten around to seeing This Is Spinal Tap, so the mockumentary slot has to go to this movie. Hilarious from start to finish, with the highlights being Eugene Levy and Fred Willard.

6. Sideways (Payne)

I might be cheating a little bit here, as this isn't a pure comedy, but it has some absolutely hilarious moments. Paul Giamatti's wallet hit and run is one the funniest sequences I've seen in a while.

7. Dodgeball (Thurber)
8. Zoolander (Stiller)

I'm surprised that very few of the crowd mentioned these two. There have been a number of good comedies done in recent years by the whole Ferrell/Stiller/Vaughn/Black crew, but I thought these were definitely the funniest. I remember myself laughing uncontrollably at these films, so here they are.

For the rest of it, I can't really differentiate, so just know that Happy Gilmore, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Austin Powers, Young Frankenstein, Anchorman were all given consideration. Amelie, Garden State, Being There, About Schmidt, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind might make the list, but they aren't pure comedies, and I didn't really feel like cheating except for Sideways.

Will

[Non_Comformist]

such a tool

[AngryCola]

/images/graemlins/grin.gif I saw it, but I wasn't going to mention it. I knew what you meant. Actually, that's one of the movies I was surprised nobody mentioned. Great movie. Good cast, as well.

Trading Spaces isn't as good. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[nothumb]

Night on Earth... has its funny moments, and is a great movie. But top 10 funniest movies of all time? I don't know. I am a huge Jarmusch fan, but any movie that ends with a 5 minute monologue about a dead baby cannot really make my top 10 funniest flicks.

I really love that movie though.

NT

[nothumb]

Okay, I have thought long and hard. I had to make two separate top tens. Well, a first and a second. Movies are unranked within their respective groups. These are just my favorites.

FIRST GROUP:
Clerks
The Big Lebowski
Animal House
Up in Smoke
Kingpin
Office Space
Super Troopers
Bull Durham
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Raising Arizona

SECOND GROUP: (no shame.)
Bullworth
Caddy Shack
A Fish Called Wanda
Slapshot
Mall Rats
Wayne's World
Space Balls
The Princess Bride
Airplane
Canadian Bacon

NT

[Lazymeatball]

"Holy Grail" was a great movie but the huge nerd following it has really keeps me from enjoying it anymore. Same for "Life of Brian" only to a lesser extent. I realy like "Monty Python's 'The meaning of Life," particularly the rugby match, and the Protestant diatribe against papist opposition to birth control.

Another movie worth mentioning is "Bowfinger" which had a great performance by Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy. For some reason the movie isn't talked about much.

ps. Ben Stiller is awful at everything he does.

[Phat Mack]

Three that I don't see mentioned

Delicatessen
Repo Man
Tape Heads

[Miamipuck]

My Top Ten: In no particular order.

1) Slap Shot
2) Caddyshack
3) Running Scared
4) Midnight Run
5) Whoopee Boys- I think 99.9% never saw it.
6) Stripes
7) Animal House
8) Fletch
9) Trading Places
10) Kingpin- The funniest Farrely brother movie IMHO

Honorable Mention:

Dumb and Dumber
Austin Powers
Dogma
48 Hours
American Pie
Porky's
Hollywood Nights
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
GhostBusters
What About Bob
Airplane

[Senor Choppy]

Funniest movies:
The Big Lebowski
Your Friends and Neighbors
American Psycho
Royal Tennenbaums
Rushmore

Best Comedies:
Groundhog Day

Dr. Strangelove and Rushmore really stand out in my mind.

[SuitedSixes]

Let it Ride is hilarious, highly underrated.

[Sheriff Fatman]

In no particular order:

South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
Young Frankenstein

Porky's
Coming To America
This Is Spinal Tap
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
Monty Python: Meaning Of Life
Airplane
Police Academy

[Senor Choppy]

I liked it better when it was called This Is Spinal Tap.

[Losing all]

A lot of slappy crap on these lists. Not that I'm not guilty of liking a lot of it (caddyshack and tommy boy for instance)

No mentions so far-

Very bad things, awesome flick
or Outside Providence (Drugs!!!)

just a few mentions-

Clerks, Great movie! easily my favorite comedy

Rushmore, very good. Bill Murray's funniest work IMO

[IndieMatty]

Office Space
The Big Lebowski
Ghostbusters
Easy Money
Animal House
CaddyShack
Rushmore
Super Troopers
Old School
NL Vacation(s)

[IndieMatty]

wow a lot I missed. hard to argue with any of these movies.
Ashamed I forgot Trading Places and Kingpin.

[deacsoft]

Others to consider may include...

Three Amigos
Van Wilder
Joe Dirt

Maybe not top 10 quality, but some funny movies.

[fnord_too]

"I'm gonna get you sucka!"

Also, "Life of Brian" (That may have been mentioned already, I didn't search the page for it).

[beerbandit]

with richard pryor

or maybe brewsters millions



cheers

[deacsoft]

Strange Brew and any of the Prior/Wilder fims could also be considered.

[Jett Rink]

Just chiming in with three that remain unmentioned.

Defending Your Life (Albert Brooks)
Manhattan Murder Mystery (Woody Allen)
Lost In Translation (Bill Murray)


You fart joke fans need not rent them!!

[astroglide]

lost in translation is a fantastic movie but it's not much as a comedy

No particular order and whatnot.

This is Spinal Tap

5. Office Space
6. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
7. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
8. CaddyShack
9. Kingpin(Bill Murray y'all)
10. Any Pink Pather Movie

Order is interchangable depending on the mood

[JustSomeJackass]

I'm surprised Major League didn't get more mentions. Bob Uecker is hilarious as Harry Doyle. "well, they don't call him the best color man in baseball for nothing"

Personally, I enjoy dark comedies.... "Swimming with Sharks" "Very Bad Things" "The Big Lebowski"

"Fargo"..."Oh, f*ck it, I don't have to talk either, man! See how you like it. Just total f*ckin' silence. Two can play at that game, smart guy. We'll just see how you like it. Total silence."

Another terrible movie that I thought was hilarious the first time I saw it was "Whipped" with Amanda Peet.

[Philuva]

I am surprised Dazed and Confused didn't make anyone's list.

My list in real no order:
Dazed and Confused
Ferris Bueller
Best in Show
This is Spinal Tap
Big Lebowski
Billy Madison
Office Space
Blazing Saddles
Space Balls

I'll get back with my 10th.

5) Whoopee Boys- I think 99.9% never saw it.

I guess I'm one of the .1 percent. Very funny movie!

the one guys name was "Humping the Butler"

"Hello, I'm Humping the Butler" other guy says "Who's [censored]' the maid"

umb and Dumber is not getting enough respect on this list. It is brilliant every time you watch it.

In no particular order:
Big Lebowski
Zoolander
Caddyshack
Road House/ Showdown in Little Tokyo/ Toxic Avengers (unintentional comdey at their finest)
Old School
Ace Ventura
Airplane
Midnight Run

[Victor]

didnt see fast times at ridgemont high

also liked beverly hills cop and coming to america for the eddie murphy kick.

fletch is way up there too.

[JeffO]

I only read about half of the replys and nobody mentioned

Planes, Trains and automobiles.

[theBruiser500]

Okay I just remembered a movie funnier than the ones you have all mentioned. Full Metal Jacket.

Something which I think you are all missing here is that the funniest movies are dramas. Comedies are generally stupid with a lot of forced humor that isn't really funny.

[plaster8]

"Defending Your Life"

GREAT call, Jett. I forgot all about it. Used to be one of my favorites. May be Albert Brooks' best ("Lost in America" is usually cited as that, but I think this is better).

[AJay2000]

I know I haven't seen 'The Blues Brothers' listed, and I believe it should be. 'The Odd Couple' as well.

Sorry to re-hash this thread............... but another person that has seen this movie. OMG I can not believe it.

There are so many quotable lines from that movie it is astounding. I really wish more people would have seen it.

The scene with the frogs and carrot alone is enough to make you cry from laughter.
