Sir Oinks-a-lot got me thinking. Funniest movies. Ever.
Posted at 10:17 am on Jun 29, 2008
Not the best movies that happen to be comedies. (I'll therefore leave Rushmore off my list.) Just the funniest damn movies.
1. Slap Shot
2. Animal House
3. Dumb & Dumber
4. Kingpin
5. South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
6. Superbad
7. Borat
8. Airplane
9. Beavis & Butthead Do America
10. Monty Python & The Holy Grail
10. This is Spinal Tap (tie)
I'm probably forgetting some great ones. That was a quick run through. Honorable mention: "Grandma's Boy." Mostly because I watched it this weekend. Possibly the best line I've ever heard in a movie: Dude. You jizzed on my mom.

Good list for the most part but I can't believe nobody mentioned
Blazing Saddles
Three Amigos
American Pie
Vacation
Christmas Vacation
Harold and Kumar go to White Castle
Super Troopers
9. Beavis & Butthead Do America
your joking right ???
Absolutely serious.
Great movie. I'm not the only one who thinks so. 71% critics approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Pretty high, when you consider how many people simply "don't get" B&B. Funny, funny movie. I miss B&B.
maybe somewhat dated but here's one of my ultimate favorite hah hah movies
i'm sorry i lied i have seen movies but in the last 20 years have not viewed many...
of your list i have seen 2, 8 10 & 10...
2 was my life whilst a college lad...
but here is my fav for too many reasons to mention...
enjoy =)

THIRD Austin Powers? Really?
That was when I said, "Please hang it up, Mike."
MAS already named Caddy Shack....

...must be the cream cheese.
'Napoleon Dynamite'
Posted at 3:42 pm on Jun 29, 2008
Naked Gun' (series)
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
A Fish Called Wanda
Office Space
The Princess Bride
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Monty Python's Meaning of Life
The Big Lebowski
Correction: The Royal Tenenbaums, then Napoleon Dynamite.
And you forgot to include Dumb & Dumber and Happy Gilmore.
RTs and ND would fall in "the other category" I mentioned.
For me.
And I consider Royal Tennenbaum's inferior to Rushmore.
Rushmore is on my short list of favorite movies.
My picks were in no particular order...

...and merely thrown up there as bait for the chronologically retentive.
-I'm gonna' get you, Sucka'!
(BTW, let me know when Adam Sandler bites the big one...he's been in my "Death Pool" waaaaaay too long.)
Sandler is gonna live to be Mel Brooks old.

In that case, alert me when he makes a funny movie

He is a ham-handed pretender.
OY!
Re: Sir Oinks-a-lot got me thinking. Funniest movies. Ever.
You couldn't have gone to eleven with This is Spinal Tap. What, too obvious?
Yeah. I should have thought of that. Eleven is one higher.

I love it when a new guy asserts himself right away
and doesn't suck at it. Well done!
Well done

You forgot:
Old School
Tommy Boy
There's Something About Mary
Vacation
You just offended dorky white guys everywhere...
by leaving Caddyshack off your list. There isn't a backwards baseball cap wearin' frat boy alive who can't quote every Bill Murray line from that movie. I might give it the nod over Animal House.
Dr. Strangelove belongs on that list.
And nominated as the movie that gets more laughs that no one will admit to enjoying: Jackass: The Movie.
So, dorky black guys don't like Caddyshack?
(no message)
Duh.
Dorky black guys have "their own" Caddyshack-type movie to like.
I give you...
any movie with Cedric the Entertainer.
Racist!

Excellent jazz classic.
You're on a roll today. I count 2 racist statements from you so far. Are you sure you're a liberal

What's racist about the film Watermelon Man?
A very funny movie.
I don't know.

I did completely forget Caddyshack. Will have to think about whether it belongs on the list. Bill Murray obviously is great. Probably would bump one of the last two on my list for Caddyshack.
Stranglove is a great movie. I'd put it in the Rushmore category, though. Great movies that happen to be comedies. I don't think I'd put it on this list.
Good call on Jackass: The Movie. I spit soda up from laughing so hard at "Night Pandas."
What about...
Blazing Saddles? This has always been one of my all time favorites. And yes Caddyshack deserves to be on the list.
And we can't forget...
Fried Green Tomatoes. I believe the phrase used by hack movie critics is "Laugh out loud funny!"
I'm adding two to my list. Borat and Superbad.

Can't believe I left them off.
More glaring omissions:
M*A*S*H
The Naked Gun: Yes, I know much it was stolen from Zucker/Abrahams' own Police Squad.
Up In Smoke: Like Jackass, you may not want to admit to enjoying a Cheech and Chong movie in public, but this is a damn funny movie.
Sorry. None make my list.
Naked Gun was close though. I loved Police Squad.
