Can’t get funny movies out of my head tonight. I need to revise my list to include Raising Arizona and Blazing Saddles.

Ditto on Blazing Saddles, the Pink Panther movies w/ Peter Sellers, and You Me & Depree in the modern error.
 
Off the top of my head, here’s my favorite funny movies in no particular order: Blind Date, My Cousin Vinny, Tommy Boy, Love You To Death & A Christmas Story.🙂
 
Aladdin and The Emperor’s New Groove.

Robin Williams was perfect as the Genie. :cool:
 
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!

When Frank Drebin completely massacred the National Anthem during the baseball game, I acftually passed out from laughing too hard!
 
The Producers (Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder)

Young Frankenstein

Chevy Chase’s Christmas Vacation

The Blues Brothers
 
Hot Shots: Part Deux is a favorite of mine.

First Parachute Jumper: GERONIMO!!!
Second Parachute Jumper: GERONIMO|!!!
Stereotypical Hollywood Indian: MEEEEEEE!!!
 
Shaun of the dead and Hot Fuzz. I’m a Simon Pegg fan, can you tell?

Yes! The Naked Gun and it’s sequels. Mel Brooks History of the World Part 1; National Lampoon’s Vacation, and Christmas Vacation.

Hey! That was my nomination! Pity the poor folks who’ve only seen the remake.
Runner-up: What’s Up, Doc? the only Barbara Streisand movie that’s any good.

For me, it’s a toss up between “Arsenic and Old Lace” and “The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!”

I’m going to have to see Arsenic and Old Lace again…
 
A New Leaf with Walter Matthau and Elaine May, who wrote it.

Kotch also with Walter Matthau.
 
I liked Grumpy Old Men…and Out to Sea but I really like Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon
and Meet the Parents. Robert DeNiro
Blazing Saddles.
 
These are shorts, but I love anything with the Three Stooges (with Curly) in them. I am that rarest of creatures, a woman who loves the Stooges. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!!

Office Space (in a sadly familiar, someone’s been following me around making a movie of my life way), Shawn of the Dead (in a dark British way), and Kung Pow! (in a “This is sick and I can’t believe I’m watching it but it ROCKS” way). 😃

And a second vote for Holy Grail.

Office Space and Kung Pow are two of DH’s favorites and I’ve never heard of the other one you mentioned. But I’m guessing it will be a hit with him! We’ll have to check out Shawn of the Dead 🙂
 
I cant believe that these 3 movies have not been mentioned:

Happy Gilmore.

Billy Madison.

Little Nicky.

Personally I love all 3 of them as well as Clerks 2 (actually most of those View Askew films are funny).

Hard to say. Of those two I’d say “Arsenic and Old Lace” right away, and I would be hard pressed to name a movie that is obviously more funny than “Arsenic.” I like “Bringing up Baby” as well, and just about anything with Peter Sellers.

And it isn’t a movie, but “Gilmore Girls” is extremely funny.
