What are your three favorite comedy movies?
yes. I knew I was forgetting one..
Sorry , can’t do just 3. Too many ties.
Fire Sale and original In-Laws
Silver Bears and Big Lebowski
Most of Buster Keaton’s silent features
Ooooh! Good ones!
Little Rascals: “ THE MAN FROM BORNEO”
And
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Big Trouble in Little China
Murder by Death
Serial
Phantom of the Paradise
Used Cars
Champagne for Caesar
Marx Brothers up to Day at the Races plus Night in Casablanca
If you recall, the first release of the movie DID NOT have subtitles. You had to just understand what was going on from the superb acting for the first part of the film.
And forgot to mention
After the Fox
OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies
A child of the eighties I presume
Clerks
Midnight Run
Lots of me-toos in the hundreds of entries here, a few additions:
Something About Mary
Eating Raoul
Groundhog Day
What About Bob?
The Money Pit
My Cousin Vinny
The Big Lebowski
Murder by Death
Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
It’s a Mad Mad, Mad, Mad World
Sweet Liberty
The Muse (drolly amusing)
and a movie which sucks, but served as a movie-long setup for the final hilarious joke:
