Funniest Film: Domestic or International
 
It can be slapstick-heavy, or laden with witty dialogue, what's the movie that you consistently laughed throughout its entire running time?

My vote (tie): Airplane! and Clerks.

Now that I think of it, they are both of the different types I mentioned earlier. The first is all slapstick, and Kevin Smith's film is dependent on sharp dialogue. They're mainstream, sure, but I loved them. Your pick doesn't have to be well-known, so please share.

I know I might get bashed for this one, but ROAD TRIP had me cracking up alot, as well as BEST IN SHOW

eedoon 05-18-03 10:36 PM

The first Back to the Future. But the experience wears off after several viewings.

SPiRAL: I'm not bashing or anything, but I can't get the humor in Best in Show. Care to enlighten me a bit?

No bashing here, I thought Road Trip was hilarious. The funniest? I don't know about that.

Clerks had me laughing a lot, so did Super Troopers. Old School was also hilarious.

Big Lebowski

Zoolander, the all time funniest movie IMHO
The In-Laws, I can't believe they remade this.

Ben Stiller is really funny.

Office Space (I'm a programmer... so, kind of hits home)

Animal House and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Tyler_Durden 05-19-03 10:41 AM

Airplane!, The Naked Gun, Blazing Saddles, The Producers and One, Two, Three are certainly among the funniest I've seen.

Then there are films like Animal House, Life Of Brian, The Big Lebowski and Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas where I can just smile throughout the entire picture.

Kingpin

Robert 05-19-03 08:25 PM

<b>Caddyshack</b>. Ted Knight is frickin hilarious.

ToddSm66 05-19-03 08:44 PM

The Big Lebowski, Blazing Saddles, The Producers, The Party, The Jerk...


Too hard for me to say one is funnier than the others...

jaeufraser 05-19-03 10:24 PM

Airplane! is my absolute favorite comedy. Makes me laugh all the time.

Though Naked Gun has the great line "Nice beaver", "Thanks, I just had it stuffed." Heh.
