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!

Any Veggie Tales would be good. My daughter and I enjoyed Madagasgar, Cars, MIB, MIBII, any of the Road movies (Bob Hope, Bing Crosby), Dr. Doolittle (but not especially the sequels).

It has been years since I watched “A Fish Called Wanda,” but it was very funny! I forgot two more of my favorites: “The Thin Man” and “My Cousin Vinny.”
To: Williams
I agree with the original “The Producers”, and I also loved “Where’s Poppa”, another oldie.

Ron Burgundy: Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
Champ Kind: It jumped up a notch.
Ron Burgundy: It did, didn't it?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart.
Ron Burgundy: I saw that. Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.
Ron Burgundy: Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.

I am often amused by what I watch at home but I almost never laugh out loud. I’ve noticed I will laugh out loud in a theater. Interesting phenomenon.

I have to agree with most of the above, however I would like to add (with a family in mind):
Galaxy Quest
Mystery Men
All of Me
Coneheads
All good family movies.
