Hercules Returns
Life of Brian.

[Patch1875]

The Hangover

Airplane

Drop Dead Fred

[rdjohn]

Life of Brian.

Like Fawlty Towers, you know the script inside out, but it still makes me laugh out loud.

Kingpin, by a country mile for me. Bill Murray, Woody Harrelson and Randy Quaid were all absolutely superb in it

I'm a sucker for old French films made by people such as Jacques Tati, like the sublime

and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mon_Oncle

also Jean Renoir's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudu_Saved_from_Dro...

National Lampoon's Animal House

I state your name

Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.

Mrs. Wormer, I'm so glad you could come

I suspect that there are various scenes that wouldn't make it if made today

"Oh Mr Porter".....................Will Hay

or Where's that Fire .............. Will Hay 1939
An amazing set piece installing a new firemans pole into the out-dated fire station which lasts nearly 12 minutes.
All the favourites, Moore Marriot, Graham Moffatt and Charles Hawtrey as an annoying schoolboy reciting Pythagoras theorem explaining the pole won't fit as it scrapes the paint off a passing car !

Caddyshack
Midnight Run
Our Man Flint
The Hangover
Blues Brothers
Animal House

[generationx]

Ghostbusters, without an equal.

[Patch1875]

Does An American Werewolf In London count?

[wjb]

Some funny films already been listed, but Smokey and the bandit 1/2, Cannonball Run and Airplane are all top tier for me.

Are we all just old or are the newer films not as funny anymore?

Think even one of the more recent film mentioned, the Hangover, must be 10 years old now.

Burn After Reading
Death of Stalin
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Forrest Gump
Good Morning Vietnam
Going In Style
The Ladykillers (the Alec Guinness one)
Wild Hogs
One Good Turn (Laurel and Hardy, not Norman Wisdom)

“That’s thé bedroom, nothing happened in there”

“what....a......crime”

A lot of Murray’s lines were improvised on the spot. i never get tired of watching the film.

“aim for the flat top”

“go get em Ray”

This is Spinal Tap.

[Professor Barney]

Loads of the previous suggestions, especially Local Hero and the Death of Stalin but I'll just add a largely forgotten gem - 'Heavens Above', staring Peter Sellers as an idealistic priest that tries to get his parish to live by christian values... it doesn't go well.

Lots already mentioned, but Stripes was a good laugh, John Candy mud wrestling women was one of the highlights.
