I’ve seen 25 of them. Mostly in theaters! Love a good laugh. They should have included “Analyze This”. Wouldn’t see it today, because DeNiro, but laughed myself sick at the time. “School of Rock” was also very funny.

I found Arthur amusing. Gielgud’s dry delivery was great.
Also not so well known and a bit on the dark humor side was Waking Ned Devine.

I’ll throw another Mike Judge classic. Idiocracy.
It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World is the funniest film ever.
Bad Grandpa is a guilty pleasure.
Jason Statham is comedy gold - Snatch, two Crank films, and Spy.

“The Private Navy of Sgt. O’Farrell” (1968)
I haven’t seen those Bob Hope movies since...well...1968!

Where is Caddyshack ?
It’s like a prophecy of Trump.

I thought the original Porkey’s was funny. A few weeks ago saw Sixteen Candles and thought it was pretty good. I remember seeing Sixteen Candles back in the day and didn’t think much of it.

Yep.....in its time it was very funny. I also liked Cat Ballou, but that was before she became Klute and a Viet Cong sympathizer.

“The Horse’s Mouth” was a funny Alec Guinness movie. My painting teacher showed it to us. Back in the days when showing a movie meant reels of film.
Good times.
