Rushmore Fletch Caddyshack 2 other movies i'm forgetting. EDIT: Dodgeball is one of those I was forgetting.
1. Dumb and Dumber 2. The 40 Year Old Virgin 3. Office Space 4. There's Something About Mary 5. Super Troopers
top 5 most OVERRATED comedies: Napolean Dynamite Anchor Man Old School Dodge Ball uh yea, can't think of a 5th right now but those other 4 just aren't that funny.
Good call with Holy Grail or other Monty Python. I should have included them on my list. 5 is just too short. I guess I will edit it to make that change.
The whole 9 yards Shreq Snatch For the rest there are a couple of films that come close. but those 3 are my favorites by far.
1. Coming to America 2. Coming to America 3. Coming to America 4. Coming to America 5. Coming to America
no particular order - Nothing to Lose Blue Streak Happy Gilmore the Wedding Singer Crackerjack (australian movie)
Her are a few I could watch over and over A Fish Called Wanda What About Bob? Dr. Stangelove The Princess Bride Spinal Tap Best in Show Weird Science Also, I know it's not a movie, but Fawlty Towers may be the funniest hours of comedy ever filmed.
5) I Heart Huckabees 4) Rushmore 3) O' Brother, Where Art Thou 2) Anchorman 1) The 40-Year-Old Virgin
Tough to narrow it down to five, but i'll try. Life of Brian Spinal Tap Club Dread (better than Supertroopers imo) Blazing Saddles Strangelove
wedding crashers (the "midnight rape" scene and then the line where vince vaughn mentions it are great), dodgeball, and 40 year old virgin are definitely way up there on my list, and all 3 came out in such a short time. i don't even know which one i think is funniest b/c they're all so good. other to mention: the great outdoors (my favorite movie as a kid and i can still watch it and laugh, the "blow it out your ass" scene is still one of my favorites) christmas vacation - to me, even more the definitive christmas movie than a christmas story (which is also great) plains, trains, and automobiles - those aren't pillows! american pie - too many good moments to list them the birdcage (the one with robin williams) - the whole movie is funny but i think the dinner scene might be the funniest 30-45 minutes of any movie i've seen. as far as citizen kane, i tried to go take that movie on one time. i went toe to toe with it for about an hour before i finally had to tap out and change the channel. they weren't lyin' when they said it was boring.
Zoolander Anchorman Old School All three Austin Powers Money Talks (it was the last movie Chris Tucker made when he still let himself act "ghetto")
Finally someone with me on TLB. I like MPTHG too (top 10), but I think TLB is more brilliant/consistenty funny, and peerless among that type of comedy.
I have found guys who don't get ND are themselves too close to being Napolean, Kip or Uncle Rico himself. Which do you resemble Macalu?
There's something wrong with all of you for leaving out Trading Places. Trading Places Blazing Saddles Half Baked The Gods Must Be Crazy Coming To America
Harold & Kumar Office Space Wedding Crashers Road Trip (dont think its been mentioned yet) Money Talks
