What is the best comedy movie you ever saw?

[catfish]

Pffffffffft.

Why is it that not one woman on the planet thinks farts are the funniest noise ever?

Wrong! Some of us find Blazing Saddles type humor as funny as men do.

Dr. Strangelove

[mikeler]

The scene in Blazing Saddles where they approach the tollbooth in the middle of the desert is so funny the first time you watch the movie.

 

[ollinger]

Doctor Stangelove. (best individual scenes? the "shadow" scenes in the Austin Powers films.)

My pardon! Do you also like football, fishing, and beer?

 

[Ronaldo]

Surprised Clerks, Vacation, Annie Hall, or M.A.S.H. are not mentioned.

Yes its a very funny scene! i frkin love that scene .

Some of Chevy Chases old flicks are quite awesome too.
I need to get a few of those and see soon.
I remember that Fletch had a lot of good stuff in it.

 

[FuriousYellow]

best individual scenes? the "shadow" scenes in the Austin Powers films.

They did it in all three movies and it never got old. Favorite one was the Japanese guard and the fountain in "Goldmember".

I watch a lot of Russian, French, Danish, Swedish, and Japanese films, but there are very few great comedic films that I can think of from these countries. America and England seem to make the best comedies, in my opinion. Of English speaking countries, I would have thought there would be more great comedies from Ireland.

Can anyone suggest any great comedies from Europe or Asia? There must be some films worth mentioning in this thread.

Many of my favourite comedies have already been mentioned, so I looked at my DVD collection to find some films that I don't think have been mentioned. "Pulp Fiction," "Overnight" (an accidental comedy), "Boogie Nights," and "A Fish Called Wanda" were all pretty funny to me.

Spies Like Us

"Talk or I cut off a finger...Yours or mine?"

"What is your objective?...My objective? Well I object to taking a girl out, you know, and buying her dinner and then she won't put out for you."

 

[thug the bunny]

??Pulp Fiction is a comedy??

Although the "Do they speak English in What?" scene is pretty funny (and one of the best in movie history).

The Room, Black Dynamite, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky

 

[George123]

Anchorman is simply "THE GREATEST COMEDY OF ALL TIME"

 

[Magic of tennis]

I am suprised no one mentioned about Election ( 1999, Reese Witherspoon) except me. It was so funny. I could relate to the story. I guess every body has different taste. Someone said "Fantastic mr. Fox" was funny so I saw the other night. It wasn't funny but watchable.

"Murder by Death". I never knew such comedy was possible. A must-see!

 

[sphinx780]

Plenty of good ones here as well as plenty of great ones. Here's one I didn't see:

Death at a Funeral. British version and I believe the original.

Life's not fair, princess! Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.

 

[adamX012]

Men in Black.. is that a comedy?

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

"The Kingdom" (Lars Von Trier}, "Trainspotting," "Wag the Dog," and "Diner" were pretty funny, though not classified as comedies. "The Commitments" and "Dazed and Confused" are pretty good comedies that I don't think have been mentioned. Most of the recent good comedies seem to have been mentioned.
