[half time scores]

 

[maltaseagull]

Bit dated but The General & Steamboat Bill Jnr starring Buster Keaton

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Top Secret which is another comedy in the Airplane!/Naked Gun style. Very clever underwater fight scene in it too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfRi-a8hPh0

Was just about to post Top Secret & seen i've been beaten to it. Great movie

I referenced it the other day when my boss was talking to a Hilary. Only on the phone so don't know if her bosoms defied gravity.

If you want to go old, I rather enjoyed His Girl Friday. So quickfire you miss the next joke because you're still laughing at the the last one.

I really like Baseketball, from the makers of South Park

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Woody Allen's 'Sleeper' for me.

 

[Kurt Nogood]

Tropic Thunder - Tom Cruise is superb.
Whoops Apocalypse - not seen for ages but remember finding Rik Mayall and his SAS squadron fighting waxworks at Madame Tussaud’s very funny.

The King of Comedy with Robert De Niro and Jerry Lewis is a really good black comedy....

Withnail and I (unless your name is Monty)

I feel I should be offended. Will have to watch this film to find out why.

Trains, Planes and Automobiles,

Without A Clue

Trains... was my first thought.
Without a Clue is such a wonderful film and hugely underrated (in that no one ever talks about it - but... Michael Caine? Ben Kingsley? C'mon!!)
Napoleon Dynamite is a superbly joyously funny film. A one-off.

Another vote here for Trains, Planes and Automobiles. I’ve never laughed as much in a cinema and probably seen it more times since than any other movie (I don’t tend to watch anything more than once generally).. a bit schmaltzy at the end, but 2 brilliant comedians at the height of their powers.

 

[Brightonfan1983]

I don’t get he Adam Sandler thing, not funny at all and mostly quite offensive, just my opinion.

This.

BUT

Punch Drunk Love is a glorious film, funny, moving, magical - and not because my expectations were so so low. And Adam Sandler is very very good in it. Paul Thomas Anderson wrote and directed it, unbeknownst to me beforehand, so you know you're on solid steel ground.

Lol! I was wondering if you'd see my post. I can guarantee that if you have a mouthfull of peanuts when 'the sentence' is delivered you will possibly take someone's eye out
