The two first Back to the Future (I didn’t saw the third yet), Robin Hood, Men in Tights (I only saw that movie partially but I thought it was hilarious 😃 ) and the first Home Alone. Very funny movies! :rotfl:

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

Raising Arizona was good but I wouldn’t put it on the level of Blazing Saddles. I think Blazing Saddles and Dumb and Dumber were possibly the two funniest movies I have ever seen. I have seen them both probably 20 times. It seems that a lot of people like Blazing Saddles.

I’m sure I left some out.

Some time back, I ran a “March Madness” comparison chart on the list, and This Is Spinal Tap came out on top. FWIW.
 
Has anyone seen Hot Fuzz?

I couldnt stop laughing while watching that.

“He’s not Judge Judy and Executioner!”

Shaun of the Dead was another good one, Airheads is a crack up as well as Black Sheep.
 
Dungeons and Dragons.

No, not the so-called “jokes”. All the serious parts, especially Jeremy Irons’ “I really don’t want to be here” performances.

That guy with the blue lips, too–does he eat Smurfs or something?

And the randomly African-American elf-chick: what, was Wayans (I forget which) unwilling to fall for a white elf, or were they afraid audiences would find “miscegenation” unacceptable (but be perfectly okay with interspecies romance), or what? Is she supposed to be a drow? 'Cause last I checked they had white hair.
 
Woody Allen in his late 60’s and 70’s period. Bananas, Take the Money and Ran, Love and Death, Annie Hall, Sleeper, all very funny. Most later ones too cynical…
 
Lately it has to be Enchanted. I don’t remember the last time I laughed so much.
