Yes...Sweetbabygirl...THE JERK w/Steve Martin & Bernadette Peters...It's a Classic!!! If anyone who hasn't seen has a chance to rent it, do. And...Not1worry...I know you've seen BIG w/Tom Hanks...another brilliant movie & his acting was amazing. Magikearth...If you haven't seen YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN with a cast loaded with brilliant comedic superstars, then you must try to rent it, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it.

Any collaboration with Bill Murray, Harold Ramis & Dan Ackroyd is a work of comedic genius.

Here's some of mine, not in any order after the first two, which are my favorites.) 1. Bedazzled (the original) with Dudley Moore and Peter Cook-- (BTW- the new one with Brendan Fraser is awful and not even remotely similar) 2. All of Me--Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin 3. Airplane, Naked Gun, other Leslie Nielsen sillies. 4. Young Frankenstein, The Producers, ANYTHING Mel Brooks. 5. The Blues Brothers 6. A Fish Called Wanda

LOL Car Yes, I forgot to mention Woody Allen's movies! Also, Barbarella is a hoot and a half, though not classified a comedy.

Oh good grief, Lance, I forgot all about Strange Brew. Haven't thought of that one in years. Stripes...between that movie and M*A*SH*, I ended up joining the army. Imagine my surprise when I didn't get to sit around in a bathrobe and play practical jokes each day. There's movie called "Scorchers" with Emily Lloyd, Faye Dunaway and James Earl Jones. Another favorite.

Another golden oldie.. It Happened One Night The scene where Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert are in the little cabin/motel room and putting on the unhappily married couple act for whoever is knocking at their door - priceless. And on another end of the spectrum.. Fast Times at Ridgemont High

This movie isn't on DVD or Videotape yet but I plan on buying it as soon as it comes out. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" It's playing in the theaters right now and it's got to be the funniest movie I've seen in a long, long time!! If you're looking for a movie to make you giggle and laugh out loud, then this is the movie. I'll give it Two Thumbs Up!!

Enjoyed most of the already mentioned movies very much, and I'm with you Vanilla on "The Gods Must be Crazy" and the sequel "...II" I laugh every time I watch them. Here's some not mentioned. A couple Cary Grant oldies that haven't been mentioned are "Arsenic and Old Lace" and "Baby". Don't any of you watch the Jackie Chan movies? Hilarious! Also my son's favorites are "Home Alone" and "Grumpy Old Men". <great thread>

Oh there's one more that made me laugh out loud with Kevin Kline and Tracy Ullman, "I Love You to Death". He's been shot in the head, walks out of the bedroom and she says, "How are you feeling?" and he says, "I think got a headache."

Bigd, I wouldn't have thought of "True Lies" but when you mentioned it I remembered the scene where Jamie Lee Curtis goes to the hotel room posing as a hooker, the part where she first starts to dance is hilarious! OK another of my favorites is "Clueless". Some quotes Cher: Isn't my house classic? The columns date all the way back to 1972. Josh:We might get Marky Mark to plant a celebrity tree. Cher: Oh how fabulous. Getting Marky Mark to take time from his busy pants dropping schedule to plant trees. Cher: Dionne and I were both named after famous singers of the past, who now do infomercials. Cher: Christian had a thing for Tony Curtis so he brought over "Some Like it Hot" and "Sporadicus."

Reiki: There was a sorta re-make of 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World' called 'Rat Race'. I loved the original and I LOVE this version as well. Just HILARIOUS! Especially the guy with the piecred tongue, lmao! If you liked the first, I highly recommend the second (out on video and DVD), it too has an all star cast; Whoopie Goldberg, Jon Lovitz, Cuba Gooding Jr, Kathy Najimy, John Cleese, Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson), that guy who plays Newman on Seinfeld (sorry, I can't STAND him and refuse to go searching for his name, lol), Seth Green (Oz from Buffy), and a whole bunch of others I can't quite recall right now. Some of my newer favorite comedies are 'What About Bob' (Bill Murry & Richard Dreyfuss), 'Multiplicity' (a Micheal Keaton movie that I found hilarious but bombed at the theaters), 'The Sixth Man' (a drop dead funny Marlon Wayans flic) & 'Senseless' (another GREAT Marlon Wayans movie). Oh and 'Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood' is just too funny for words, lol, it's another Marlon movie. I swear, that man makes me laugh so hard that I practically wet myself watching him, but that's a whole other thread... More older favorites include; 'This is Spinal Tap', 'Raising Arizona', 'National Lampoon's Animal House', 'Down and Out in Beverly Hills', 'Some Like It Hot', 'Sleeper', 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels', 'Blazing Saddles', 'Tootsie', 'Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying About And Love The Bomb', 'The Odd Couple', 'M*A*S*H', 'The Jerk', 'Harvey' (ever since i first seen this movie i've dreamt of having my own giant invisible rabbit!), and pretty much anything Monthy Python is pure genuis. That's it, I think, lol.

Forgot to mention all the "mockumentaries" that I like: Drop Dead Gorgeous, Dog Show, and Waiting for Guffman. Christopher Guest is in two of the above movies (also was Nigel in Spinal Tap).

Last night we watched an old favorite, "Support Your Local Sheriff," with James Garner. That movie has some hysterical dialogue in it.

Trulyscrumtious . . . did you like Mo' Money? I loved that movie, I watched it so many times, I know the 'complete' dialogue. That was, I think, Marlon's first movie role, but for me it was all about Damon. But, that was then . . . not too crazy about him now that he's on TV. And, how about Scary Movie & SM2 . . . I loved the first one, but didn't care for the second.

Mystery, Don't forget its equally funny counterpart "Support Your Local Gunfighter". While you at it how about the modern remake of "Marverick". I don't ordinarily care for remakes, but having James Garner in the movie more than made up for anything else, as did the surprise ending that left me cheering!
