..."and then you killed him in a rit of fealous jage!"

My sides hurt just thinking about it. If you like Peter Sellars try to find his early movie "the party" it's almost completely physical humor and sight gags. It's just as funny as any of his pink panther stuff.

It was a different world. A much better America.

I always had a good laugh watching Support Your Local Sheriff, McClintock, Airplane, and Dr. Strangelove.

To me, this is about the best scene in a movie, EVAR:

Buck Melanoma, Moley Russel's Wart

Good day to you, madam!

Exactly! Can't believe it took to post 59. What's wrong with people these day's? Both hilarious and of a highly stimulating nature, intellectually speaking.

I like all three of those.

More recently, I like "Role Models" and "Tucker and Dale vs. Evil" (the second one is available on Netflix).

Tropic Thunder — especially any scene with Les Grossman (Tom Cruise). Absolutely fricking hilarious.

My Mother thought “The Russians are Coming” was the funniest movie she had ever seen.

LOL! It WAS funny!

Glad to see Shaun of the Dead on there. Love those guys. Hot Fuzz is one of my all time faves, amazingly funny, the laughs came non-stop (”I don’t want to be Judge Judy and executioner!”). And of course I loved the anti-fascist overtones: “The greater good...” “Shut it!” I don’t think that movie got nearly the attention it deseved.

Space Balls wasn't that great of a movie, but the scene where they got the video tape of the movie to see what was going to happen in the future, and when they go to the part where they were in the movie and they were looking into a mirror...

Genius beyond imagination!

For a genuine treat, watch Used Cars with the commentary track.

Kurt Russell is so hilarious when describing how certain scenes were made. And how some had to be cut, like when they jam the football game. Originally Jeff was supposed to wear these penis nosed glasses, but they thought it was "too much". You can see them in Russell's hand in one shot when he tells Jeff to put the glasses on.

And Russell reacts to a joke about how Bill Clinton is a lot like Rudy.

"Haha, I never thought about it, but yeah, he is like Billy Jeff!, (cackle)"

Surprised no one has mentioned “What About Bob?” yet. Extremely funny movie. Also, “Nacho Libre,” very funny.
