I was in tears during the opening credits. You made me laugh just by bringing that up.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”
― W.H. Auden
"God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

in that same vein this clip from waiting for Guffman always cracks me up. especially the old guy doing the scene from Raging Bull. IMHO that is pure comedy. NSFW but its is funnyOriginally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostLots of great ones listed here.
I watched Best in Show the other day and laughed myself silly. I love that flick.

I actually don't get all of the love for Office Space. I thought that the first 30-40 minutes were very funny and then it went down hill fast from there.
I generally don't like to watch movies more than once, but one show I have watched with our kids dozens of times is How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey. I laugh all the way through, it is great.

O Brother Where Art Thou is, IMO, the most perfectly written, directed, cast and acted comedy of all time.
The Holy Grail is a monument of comedic genius.
Life of Brian is close behind.
Spinal Tap created a new genre and all of the spinoffs were just about as good (Mighty Wind, Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman).
Fletch still kills me and makes me hurt for the Chevy Chase that ceased to be after that.
Groundhog Day was brilliant.
The Hangover isn't far behind.
A dark horse favorite of mine is Mamet's State & Main.
Caddyshack was great.
Bowfinger is underrated.
The Big Lebowski will live forever.
The Princess Bride deserves some mention.
Raising Arizona as well.
There are a lot of great comedies out there that don't get quite the attention.Ute-ī sunt fīmī differtī
It can't all be wedding cake.

Borat is hilarious, disturbing, but hilarious. I cannot imagine the courage/stupidity it takes to pull off half the stunts he did.Originally posted by camleish View Posti've got to add borat. i don't know if i should be ashamed, but i think i may have laughed harder at borat than any movie i've ever seen.
My favorite though would be Superbad, best movie to watch drunk...ever. Napoleon Dynamite is a pretty close second.
After reading a lot of the responses I gotta agree with most posted. So a few more of my favorites:
The Russians are Coming!
The Invention of Lying
...a bunch of others already mentionedLast edited by lambdacoug; 12-07-2011, 07:51 AM.Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Far from. It's a documentary about this guy trying to make a low budget horror film. If this were my life, I certainly wouldn't be laughing. But it isn't.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostWas that the 4th installment in the American Pie series?
