Nicholas Cage in 'Leaving Las Vegas.' I'm sorry but I just couldn't buy him as a drunk, as I literally laughed almost all of his dramatic moments. Although, Elizabeth Shue was good in that movie.

I hope to remember to check this thread at home. All images and videos being blocked here at work is making me miss most of the good stuff.

I would have laughed all through Transfomers 2, but the fact that the large audience was actually enjoying it had me crying instead.

Re: Movies That Made You Laugh For the Wrong Reasons

I just saw G.I. Joe last night.
Spoiler:
The reveal of Cobra Commander at the end almost made me shoot Pepsi through my nose. I had a rough idea of how goofy the new mask was but when he turned around and showed it in all its bulbous glory I nearly lost it.

Speilberg, for all his good intentions, still makes some obvious, pandering, dramatic choices and that stuff always makes me giggle. Plus, I kept thinking, "Dont laugh out loud, dont laugh out loud, dont laugh..." so naturally I did. The crowd was none too pleased with me.
I laughed once during a Holocaust documentary in high school history class. That was over 10 years ago and I still feel guilty for doing it.

That was bad, but this was even worse...
Spoiler:
When McCullen finally became Destro, his very first words aren't, "NO!," or "ARGH!," or "What the fuck did you do to me?!?" No...it's, "I've finally taken my place in the long line of McCullens!"

Worst line ever. Worst delivery every. Totally hilarious.

The scene in the 2002 remake of The Time Machine where Guy Pearce's love gets run over by a horse and carriage. Couldn't help it, it was hysterical.

While both of those got laughs at our theatre (well, the first was mostly groans), what got our entire audience was
Spoiler:
when Baroness released Duke from the mind control device, said the inevitable "there's no time!" and that, of course, cued the entirely inappropriate (both within the context of the movie as well as without) make-out scene.

The Shadow (1994): The villain mind-controls some hapless sap and forces him to commit suicide by jumping off the Empire State Building. He hits each protruding level on his way down and I literally fell out of my seat laughing at how bad the effect was. Fortunately, my friend and I were sitting in the front row, so I didn't hit anything in front of me.

I laughed so hard at that line.

This thread reminded of that Family Guy episode where Jillian, Brian's ex-gf, was going to marry another guy. with everyone at the wedding looking at Jillian, she mentions that her parents died, and all you hear is Peter laughing.

As the ship is sinking in 'Titanic', that one guy falls off the back, hits the propeller, and flips end over end into the sea. What a shitty way to go.

What in the hell is that from? How could someone possibly let that get into a final cut?

Re: Movies That Made You Laugh For the Wrong Reasons

^mainly because Carpenter directed, and i was wondering if he meant it to be a serious action/horror movie, or a spoof of them

Considering They Live is based on a two page short story, I'm just impressed they were able to come up with a plot that reached feature length.

Can't disagree. I never laughed but man was GT an astoundingly overrated movie.
