If I had to name just one, I would go with Ghostbusters...Of course there are many more I could list, but all of them already have been.

Dumb & Dumber beats everything.

If you're old enough to remember the Cold War (and even if you aren't):

Dr. Strangelove (Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) may just be the funniest film of all time.

Bad(der) Santa
Meet the Parents
Napoleon Dynamite
Office Space
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut

Everybody knows that what is funny is based on everybodys individual taste, so I will take a few movies that I think would appeal to everyone (for laughs).

Dumb and Dumber
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
There's Something About Mary
National Lampoons: Loaded Weapon (Lethal Weapon spoof)
My Father The Hero (Depardieu is hilarious in this comedy, despite some sappy dramatic moments)
Groundhog Day (1 of Bill Murray's finest films)
The Birdcage
Weekend At Bernies
The Nutty Professor (the Eddie Murphy version)
Meet The Parents
Coming To America
The Big Lebowski
Me Myself, And Irene
Bowfinger
Office Space

(actually, alot of the films I want to put on this list a poster above me put, so that is all :))

but, still, I rank National Lampoons: Vacation as 1 of the funniest movies, because Chevy Chase is just a complete idiot the whole movie.

I will go with office space and the big lebowski.

Also,I would include clerks but it is not for everyone.

And while its not a comedy,the entire bootcamp part of full metal jacket is hilarious.The drill sgt is one of my favorite movie characters.

rw2516 06-07-05 03:49 PM

What? Am I the only one who thinks ANIMAL HOUSE is the funniest ever?

TBFL 06-07-05 03:57 PM

Clerks
Caddy Shack
Space Balls
It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World
