Benchwarmers. I caught this at a hotel and actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

Ooh, Kingpin is a great choice. Much better than Something About Mary.

But Ruthless People is overrated? Who doesn't like that??

Porky's and Billy Madison don't really seem underrated to me either.

Porky's is underrated by the critics. Billy Madison is underrated by everyone besides hardcore Sandler fans. You might be right about Ruthless People. I guess, I named that because it hardly seems like it's ever talked about.

Kicking and Screaming is actually a good movie. Duvall has some classic lines.

Was going to mention After Hours, but I thought it was too well-known by now.

The only movies on this list I disagree with are You Don't Mess With The Zohan and Benchwarmers, which I thought were absolutely horrendous.

Midnight Run. Robert DeNiro, Charles Grodin, Dennis Farina in an 80's R rated comedy. What's not to love?

My best friend and I quote this movie all the time.

The Man Who Knew Too Little, starring Bill Murray. It's a just a well made comedy with the perfect amount of laughs.

I was going to add Kingpin to the list, but I see it's already added...so add What About Bob? to the list.

I was just about to post this. One of my favorite comedies and a good secret weapon since a lot of people I know haven't seen it.
