Funniest movies of all time

Posted on 10/10/2008 7:07:10 AM PDT by Toadman

Hi fellow Freepers. I did a search and did not find this topic. If you know of a previous post, please redirect.

I've been hogging our Netflix (history, documentary, military genres) and realize the wife and kids need some levity.

Would you all take the time and give me an opinion of what you consider to be the best funny movies you've seen. I'm talking from the silent era of Charlie Chaplin up to the most present ala American Carol.

It doesn't matter if it's dark humor to vulgar humor to Walt Disney. Thanks for your input!

“It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”
“The Pink Panther”
“Blazing Saddles”
“Young Frankenstein”
“Charade” - a romantic comedy/mystery, but priceless for Cary Grant’s role
“White Christmas”
Any of the “Road” movies with Crosby and Hope
not a movie, but either of the Jeff Dunham videos, “Spark of Insanity” or “Arguing With Myself” - funniest ventriloquist EVER!

Yes, Princess Bride has a strong argument for funniest ever.

Bingo!

Everyone better agree with this, or they "will have to answer to a higher authority. The Coca Cola Company!"

Hmmm - I’ll say Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Animal House, from my teenage years.

I love “Rocketman” and “Galaxy Quest”. They’re both very funny and they’re both “clean” so you can watch them with the kids. Fun for the whole family.
