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.

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.

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

Ben Stiller is really funny.

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.

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.

Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?

Rosita: I was thinking later, you could kiss me on the veranda.
Dusty Bottoms: Lips would be fine.
