The scene in Spiderman when Peter Parker confesses his love to MJ. Kirsten Dunst has a stoned look on her face...I thought she would say, "I'm sorry - could you repeat that - I almost fell asleep."

The same scene is repeated in Vanilla Sky: Same stupid look on his face, hair flying back, running form like he's running for Germany in the '36 Olympics. Apparently he thinks he looks cool like that. He sort of resembles a shaved ferret.

LOL at the Meet Joe Black scene. His body just flies apart. I was cracking up for about three minutes until my girl finally slapped me. Worth it IMO.

I also thought the Collateral Damage shower scene was borderline child/gay porn

For some weird reason while my drinking buddy and I were at college, the scene in Blood Simple
Spoiler:
where Dan Hedaya’s character is getting buried alive
made him start cracking up uncontrollably. This was in class and pretty much everyone was pissed off. This is what made me lose it. We laughed for about 10 minutes after that and, well, we didn’t make any new friends that day.

Cow gets sucked up into the cyclone during "Twister" and then gets bashed about the landscape... too bad I was the only one laughing.

People getting hit by a bus always makes me crack up. People thought I was a psycho when I started laughing in Final Destination and End of Days.

Our entire theater erupted in laughter at that scene.

I don't remember everything, but it was the part near the beginning when Samuel L. Jackson was in the board room and that chick was giving her speech to convince them to spend more money on the project - cut-to a day or so later and they're on the plane and Samuel says "that was some speech you gave back there" like it had just happened... it just struck me and my friend as being really funny so we were howling for like 10 minutes and people were hissing at us.
I bet a lot of people are thinking, "What's so funny about that?" but I admit that I had a pretty good laugh at that too.

By FAR it had to be the scene in Friday the 13th VII when Jason attacked the couple in the tent. My friend and I could NOT stop laughing at the part where Jason beats the sleeping bag (with girl inside) against the tree trunk. I don't even know what's funny about it, which must be why I still laugh at it. A few years ago we all got together on Halloween and went out to a haunted house -- where they had this movie playing on monitors outside. Coincidentally the movie hit this scene and, naturally, my friend and I were the only ones laughing out loud.

This is sad, unless I didn't read all the posts, nobody has mentioned the greatest scene ever filmed in movie history . Ben Affleck does his animal crackers thing to Liv Tyler in Armageddon.

For me, the funniest thing in Pet Sematary was when the evil kid kept saying:

"I wanna play with YOOOU!!!"

(It's just the way the line is said, and it makes the scene a lot more "cheesy" funny than the intended scary effect)

Re: A couple of Michael Douglas classics...

Even better than that, is the sight of Douglas hauling Melanie Griffith's fat ass toward the Swiss border as Nazis snipe at him in Shining Through. He looks like Mike Alstott rumbling for the goal line. (Except he doesn't drop her )
Another Michael Douglas moment: the whole "Serpent and the Rainbow" sequence during the Game. I just about died in the theater and my friends could barely control themselves.

An unrelated film I find unintentionally hilarious almost from beginning to end: Event Horizon.

My pick would be....


The incest sisters exploding stomach 3 way scene in Species 2!


After a steady build up of chuckles from myself i was trying to keep under control(to not annoy the audience who took the film seriously!)

When i saw the sister looking into the mirror,looks at her stomach which starts to expand,starts screaming...then it cuts to the other sister starting to scream as well as the guy is on her orgasming it seems as tentacles come out his back in slow motion with his facial expression "ARRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHH"...then it shows the other sister stomach really expanding,she wobbles backwards falls onto the floor & it bursts open showing a alien baby pop out.


I started chuckleing uncontrollable.So knowing i was about to start bursting out loudly with laughter(which would last a long time).I pretended to leave for the bathroom...& right when i got out of the theater fell on my knee's with loud laughter.

5mn later after calming down.I went back into the theater & within seconds started laughing again.Though did a decent job of keeping it under control during the film only to fall onto the floor in the lobby laughing my ass off as my Dad & brother looked confused,then started laughing since they knew the film was really bad. I ended up laughing for 24hrs straight until finnaly calming down.

Yet til this very day.The film makes me burst out with laughter.In fact i have to get the dvd

Everything about it is hilarious.From Peter Boyle screaming "I TOLD THEM NOT TO GO TO MARSSS!!!!!" to the cliched jive talking one liner spewing black guy & everything else has me rolling with tears of laughter it's jaw dropingly funny as hell.




Now how long into Meet Joe Black is the Brad getting hit by traffic scene? My brothers saw this on cable & said the scene had them laughing like crazy.I tryed to watch the movie to see that part.Yet keep turning it on much later on as it drolls on & on into dullsville.




I know theres plenty of other scenes that had me laughing that i can't think of at the moment.

Thank goodness I don't actually remember the scenes, but I DO remember me and the rest of the audience cracking up duiring what were supposed to be serious scary scenes in the God-awful The Haunting from a few years ago. Catherine Zeta Jones still looked good, though.

Same over here. Me and my friends just looked at each other with the "roooightt look."

Another one is from Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, when the swat dudes went in to bust Antonio at the asian guys house. All 3 of us laughed at the scene for different reasons. My bro laughed because Antonio got accused of killing the fat hispanic dude even though it's obvious that he didn't kill him. My friend laughed because the fat hispanic dude died, the scene where he got shot it didn't seem like he was going to die. I laughed because of the fat swat guys and their acting. I think this is the first scene in movie history where 3 guys laughed at the same scene for different reasons. Damn that Kaos.

I laughed too. What I couldn't figure out is why he only made the one attempt... after all that time, he couldn't just go back in time again and give it another go? or maybe 6 or 7 times? Something I'm that passionate about, I'm not just gonna give up after one go of it.

One that sticks out for me is in JFK:

Remember when Joe Pesci is in the hotel room with Kevin Costner and he starts talking paranoia sh*t about the assassination and how it`s bigger than anyone can imagine (an enigma rapped in a mystery etc..)

Everytime Stone would cut from Costner back to Pesci you"d see his wig look different each time...I`m assuming this was suppose to be a very intense scene but everytime I see Pesci`s over acting and that bad hair peace I start laughing!

I still loved the film though

Blue Velvet: Laura Dern crying after Isabella Rosellini races into her house naked, grabbing Kyle Mclachlan, screaming "He put his disease in me!" I don't know who was funnier, Dern or Rosellini.
