That is a great movie. "Serpentine Shel! Serpentine!"

I just remembered: “Young Frankenstein”

Also forgot about “The Gods Must Be Crazy” until I saw it mentioned. It was one of the few to make me laugh when I didn’t even want to.

I think Tom Cruise did his best performance ever in “Tropic Thunder”

I have a difficult time saying one particular flick is funnier than another...it depends on the mood one is in. For instance, I find Woody Allen’s “Zelig” very funny, but many people would not. They’d just consider it weird.

I also like “This is Spinal Tap”, “A Mighty Wind”, “Best in Show”, and “For Your Consideration”, but some people to whom I have recommended these pictures have watched them with a straight face and never cracked a smile.

So here are a few that I have enjoyed and believe many others would, too...they’re not necessarily “niche comedy” movies.

Funny Well Known Films:
“Murder By Death”
“Monty Python & The Holy Grail”
Any Naked Gun or Airplane! film

Now...very funny films you may NOT have seen, but are good:

“Amazon Women on the Moon”
“Rat Race”
“Walk Hard”

I really lost it when Shelly noticed the Kennedy signed photo with the Bay of Pigs reference.

“Mad Mad World” is good...it was re-made, in a sense, with a funny film called “Rat Race”...if you haven’t seen it but liked Mad Mad World, I recommend it.

Another flick, like MMW, that has lots of stars chasing after a treasure. :)
