I love Dumb and Dumber. Most stuff with Jim Carrey is good.
Hot Shots 1 and 2 are also great. :D

Don't know that many comedy movies.

Or is comedic something different?? :unsure:

I found the movie had really dark humour underneath it all. And some funny funny stuff to.

Donnie's friend: "Damn that's some good ****."

Donnie: "Dude, it's a cigarette."




bah, the other people didn't think it was funny either.

I also forgot to put Road Trip in my list. I liked it for what it was.

I agree with South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, Baseketball, Half-Baked, O Brother Where Art Thou? Zoolander, The Life of Brian, and Office Space. All of those are great comedic movies.

However, Pulp Fiction may be funny, but I wouldn't classify it as a comedy, same with Fight Club, Adaptation, Blue Velvet, Secretary, Donnie Darko and Trainspotting. I'd classify those movies as more action/drama more than anything else. The Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore are one of those mixed bags of drama/comedy, a dramedy if you will...

Anyway, some other of my favorite comedic movies:
Wet Hot American Summer, Gremlins 2, Groundhog Day, Dumb and Dumber, Billy Madison, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Dr. Strangelove and Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. Oh yeah, pretty much any Woody Allen movie too.

Along with Dumb and Dumber we can add The Mask, Bruce Almighty, Me, Myself, and Irene, Liar Liar, and Man on the Moon.

Fight Club?? Awesome movie, but no comedy.

Anyways right now, any movies with Stiffler (the actor) in it gets my vote.

I kinda skimmed over the posts but I dident see "History of the World part 1", or "Robin hood men in tights", or any Monty Python ("Quest for the Holy Grale", "Jaberwacky", Life of Brian) Thoses are some funny movies.

*edit* ok I saw "Life of Brian" but no the other ones

Pulp Fiction...its not supposed to be funny, but when i watched it with my friend we were laughing for almost the whole movie.

Favorite Quote from movie: "You mean, take her out?" (hold up hand in shape of a gun)

(Comedy is in the eye of the beholder)
