And Hippyt, I like your topic. Raising Arizona is one of my all time favorites! Maybe the mods can move this over to the movie section?

My favorite funny movie of all time is "The God's Must be Crazy". I love that movie! It's hilarious!

Hi Hippyt I looked in the board dedicated to Movies and I didn't see a thread topic about a specific genre (in this case, funny movies), so until they move this thread over there, it's a great topic and will be posted to here. Raising Arizona: One of my all time favorites!!! That is when I started to like Nicolas Cage, I thought he was awsome with Holly Hunter. I'm too tired to think of any new one's right now, but I'll be back when I do. Oh, believe it or not, Dude, Where's My Car? is a very funny, strange yes, but funny too, movie. My daughter convinced me to watch it with her.

I have to agree with Raising Arizona. A couple other favorites of mine are: A Christmas Story Stripes A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

I like "A Fish Called Wanda," think it's hilarous. I also like "Soapdish," another Kevin Kline movie. I used to watch it all the time. Others will come to me. Believe it or not, Nights of Cabiria, a Fellini movie in Italian, is very moving and funny. I was pleasantly surprised. I always think that foriegn films are going to be depressing for some reason, even though logically that cannot be the case.

I've seen about half of the above and thought all of them were hilarious. There is a very funny movie playing in theaters right now, My Big Fat Greek Wedding. There is a separate thread about it in the Movie section. Anybody who likes movies and hasn't discovered that section of the board, go up to the top there where it says Topics, and you will see what is contained on the rest of the board. TVCH even has a library!

I read the title and came in so I could post Raising Arizona and as usual, you guys beat me to it. I have it on VHS and DVD which says a lot. The fight scene in the trailer when Nicholas Cage scrapes his knuckles on the ceiling is my favorite part. And the opening and closing song, with banjo: Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee Dee dee Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee And the Huggies....lol

H.I. McDonough: Edwina's insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase. Ed McDonnough: You mean you busted out of jail. Evelle: We released ourselves on our own recognizance. Gale: What Evelle means to say is, we felt that the institution no longer had anything to offer us. Prison Counsellor: Why do you say you feel "trapped" in a man's body? "Trapped" Convict: Well, sometimes I get them menstrual cramps real hard. Old man in the bank: Now, what's it gonna be young feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? 'Cause if'n I freeze, I can't rightly drop. And if'n I drop, I'm gonna be in motion. A few great lines from Raising Arizona. I wanted to show it to my English class, but one kid rolled his eyes and said that been on Comedy Central like a hundred times, so I showed them The Others. I also like Sleepy Hollow just in general. It has some funny parts with Johnny Depp, but gruesome too. I also like the Evil Dead series for funny-slash-gruesome humor. Guess I'm a weirdo!

The Money Pit, with Tom Hanks and Shelly something...Long? The girl from Cheers. When that bathtub falls thru the ceiling and Tom Hanks starts that weird laugh, it kills me everytime.

I think True Lies with Arnold Swartzenager (whatever) is hilarious. Jamie Lee Curtis was a HOOT in this. I laugh everytime I see it. Another favorite of mine is Hearts & Souls. It makes you laugh and cry at the same time.

I guess I'll have to rent Raising Arizona! I never got into comedies;I'm more of a tear-jerking drama type myself,but since you asked ,here are a few comedies I've enjoyed: This Is Spinal Tap Clerks Harold And Maude<- This film is often referred to as a Black Comedy.I think it has some very funny scenes in it,before turning heart-wrenchingly serious.It's one of my very favorites. Yeah,my list is really short-I guess I have to laugh more,huh! Edited to add: I think this thread is a great idea!Among all these selections,I just know there's gotta be another film out there that can make me laugh! Great thread,Hippyt

My favorite comedy movie is a golden oldie. "Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World." No matter how many times I see this slapstick ensemble movie, with Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, Buddy Hackett, Sid Cesear, Jonathon Winters, Mickey Rooney, Phil Silvers, Peter Falk, Ethel Merman and many many others, I just laugh and laugh and laugh. Any of the Monty Python movies, but in particular "Monty Python's Holy Grail". "The Princess Bride". My favorite in this movie is Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya. "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." Christopher Guest, Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, Peter Cook, and Andre the Giant also lend their comedic talents to this film.

"The Princess Bride" was a great book, too. The movie did a good job of using the good film-able parts, but I just love the book. And I love "A Christmas Story!" It's been my favorite Christmas movie since I first saw it.
