Cary Grant kinda over played his part,but we love that movie at Haloween,funny as heck dark comedy

Blazing Saddles has got to be too un-pc these days

[Borges]

And ‘Victor Victoria’ came out the same year!

Here watch them when ever you want LOL. Also watch “The Three Stooges” Failed Pilot (1949) I had never seen this before and I thought I had watched them all!

“She turned her first hubby gay.”

Not too difficult to believe.

[PATRIOT1876]

These three are somewhere near the top of my list:

4. Young Frankenstein

3. Some Like It Hot

2. Monty Python and The Holy Grail

I’d have to add Office Space and Spinal Tap

Not yet mentioned but worthy - the original Vacation, Hangover & Step Brothers

[Lazlo in PA]

Now that is a classic. The Garrett Graham character with the dog is the best. The scene when he is trying to move the Torino wagon on the family and has them thinking they ran it over as it plays dead has me laughing just thinking about it. A real forgotten comedy.

Somebody also mentioned Raising Arizona:

Gale: All right, ya hayseeds, it’s a stick-up. Everybody freeze. Everybody down on the ground.
Feisty Hayseed: Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? Mean to say, if’n I freeze, I can’t rightly drop. And if’n I drop, I’m a-gonna be in motion. You see...
Gale: Shut up!
Feisty Hayseed: Okay then.
Gale: Everybody down on the ground!
Evelle: Y’all can just forget that part about freezin’ now.
Gale: Better still to get down there.
Evelle: Yeah, y’all hear that, don’t ya?
[Everybody lays down. Gale looks at the now-empty teller windows]
Gale: Where’d all the tellers go?
Teller’s voices: We’re down here, sir.
Evelle: They’re on the floor as you commanded, Gale.

[Palladin]

Yes. I like all the above.

Plus “9 to 5”

[Spruce]

[dominic flandry]

I agree. I also like Office Space, The Mask and Dumb and Dumber.

I’m not reading every post, but if ‘Wedding Crashers’ and ‘Old School’ aren’t listed in this thread, then you people have got problems.
