Funniest movie I watched was “10” with Dudley Moore. I still laugh to just think about that cab ride to the resort in Cabo San Lucas!!!
The Mouse That Roared with Peter Sellers. I think it came out around 1962 or 1963.
I can’t believe no one mentioned “History of the World, Part I”...definitely a classic! Throw in some “Blazing Saddles”, add a heaping teaspoon of “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”, and garnish with “South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut”. Serve with a side of “American Pie”.
This is Spinal Tap
Duck Soup
Napoleon Dynamite
Has anyone mentioned Weekend at Bernie’s?
Oh, that *was* a funny scene. Kim Cattrall, right?
Forgot to mention:
Mousehunt (great to watch with the kids, but you will love it too!)
All the “Curly’s” of the Three Stooges shorts.
And France, and ... well, they pretty much rag on everybody. You have to take it with a grain of salt. They did like the latest Corvette though, and the Mustang tweaked with better suspension, and until the latest one they complained about how screwy and dangerous TVRs are.
And he loved his Ford F40, until it started breaking down all the time and texting him to tell him it was stolen while he was driving it to work. That was a hilarious episode.
Oh yeah... very much so.
"They don't call her Lassie for nothin'"...
Can’t believe nobody has mentioned “Trading Places” yet, especially given what is happening at the moment!
Can’t believe no mention of “Yellowbeard”, either.
The scene with the eclairs is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Sick, but funny.
Also, I haven't seen anyone mention Old School, which is just flat out hilarious.
Trading Places
Ground Hog Day
“Modern Times”, Charlie Chaplin. Laugh out loud sight gags aplenty.
Sorry - I just posted that I hadn’t seen anyone mention Old School. You already had. When Frank the Tank was running naked through down the street and his wife and her friends stopped to pick him up - HILARIOUS!

One, Two, Three - James Cagney's last film before he came back for a bit part in Ragtime. He plays a Coke executive in West Germany whose US boss is coming to pay him a visit while his daughter is in love with an East German commie. Extremely funny!
Operation Mad Ball - starring Jack Lemmon, Mickey Rooney, Ernie Kovacs, Dick York, Arthur O'Connell. Completely funny from beginning to end.

“Flames! There’s flames on my car!”
I'll second this one; it deserves a better showing in this thread.
