General / Off-Topic The funniest Movie of all time.

[Sir.Tj]

The Jerk is a classic as well.

 

[adam]

The Party with Peter Sellers

 

[Mobius]

South Park Bigger longer and uncut. the funniest musical I've ever seen.

 

[Hamerstein]

Hard to argue against the above films, I was grinning and nodding at them too

Anchorman, Dodgeball, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, The Three Amigos

 

[Sir.Tj]

I've always loved the Evil Dead series (the originals)

Great blend of humour and Bruce Campbell.

Won't be linking any clips or images though, or I won't sleep tonight.

 

[Alien]

Indeed - LoB is a tough one to beat.

Another classic would be Airplane!

So many quotable lines and the late great Leslie Nielsen.

[as the plane prepares to take off]
Hanging Lady: Nervous?
Ted Striker: Yes.
Hanging Lady: First time?
Ted Striker: No, I've been nervous lots of times.

OR...

Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?
Captain Oveur: I can't tell.
Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor.
Captain Oveur: No. I mean I'm just not sure.
Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess?
Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?

I was going to say this

 

[Le-Betz]

I wonder why nobody mentioned Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?



'Yeah, i know, i'm guilty, i understand that, i knew it was a crime, i did it anyway, ****, why argue, i'm a ****ing criminal.'

'Many fine books have been written in prison.'

But of course it's right next to impossible to find a movie that's funnier than Life of Brian.

South Park Bigger longer and uncut. the funniest musical I've ever seen.

South Park. Good call. But where there's a South Park there's a Team America. There are so many wonderful lines I can't quote here but I think this one will make it through:-


Lisa: Promise me you'll never die.
Gary Johnston: You know I can't promise that.
Lisa: If you did that, I would make love to you right now.
Gary Johnston: I promise I'll never die.

 

[withnail]

Blazing saddles and Anchorman.

 

[Neo-ST]

Surely the Naked Gun ?

 

[Landge]

There are too many great comedies to choose just one!

The Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers

Any comedy with Zero Mostel like A funny thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Mel Brooks The History of the World Part 1
Young Frankenstein

Kelly's Heros

Operation Petticoat

Caddyshack

Ghostbusters

The Coneheads

My Cousin Vinny

Oh Brother Where Art Thou

 

[deMangler]

I just looked through my collection and there is no way I can choose the best, there are just so many genius comedies.
I will mention Burn After Reading though, just because it did have many laugh out loud moments and it is probably overlooked.

Also I will unsuccessfully restrain myself from mentioning Dr Strangelove...

Dan: Father! We thought you were dead.
Yellowbeard: Us Yellowbeards are never more dangerous than when we're dead. How are you gettin' on pirating?
Dan: Um, well...
Yellowbeard: How many men have you killed so far?
Dan: One. Two, I think.
Yellowbeard: You think? You'll never kill anyone if you go around thinkin'.

Yellowbeard: Dying's the easy way out. You won't catch me dying. They'll have to kill me before I die!

Yellowbeard: Who're you talkin' about?
Betty: The fruit of your loins, sugar drawers.
Yellowbeard: Are you mad, woman? I haven't got fruit in my loins! Lice, yes, and proud of 'em!

Yellowbeard: Betrayin's all part of piratin'. If you don't know that you're not even close to being a pirate, "Prawn of my loins", my foot!
Dan: What?
Yellowbeard: You're either born a pirate or not! It's in the blood Dan, and it's not in your blood or you'd have betrayed me long ago!
