Oh man, now with all the suggestions above I’ve been reminded, and have to add, two more — Shaun of the Dead and Napoleon Dynamite. But I can’t remove any from my original list so now it’ll have to be top seven instead of five.

Thanks SO MUCH for starting this thread Rich! We’ve managed to create a big fat list of fun films.

Bottle Rocket

I stopped looking at people’s answers because they all included a lot of great movies, and this challenge is for only five. So, I recount the movies that made me laugh out loud the most, not necessarily the greatest of comedies. In no particualr order:

It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (up to getting to the “Big W”, at least.)

Bedazzled (1967) [very British]

Blazing Saddles

Brazil

Being John Malcovich

I totally forgot about BRAZIL! Although I had friends who thought I was nuts after they watched it. I love that movie.

I like these kinds of threads. It also gives me clues to order some of the flicks that I have not known about that have been posted.

Maybe every few weeks we do a different top 5?

I’m sorry but Beverly Hills Cop (the first one, the others suck) is the funniest movie ever. EVER

Airplane should definitely be on the list. Best in Show. The Jerk. Fred Willard is literally channeling Chris Mathews in Best in Show. It’s almost creepy…

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is the sweetest movie. RIP Jon Candy.

Sixteen Candles!

Navin R. Johnson: Well I’m gonna go then. And I don’t need any of this. I don’t need this stuff, and I don’t need you. I don’t need anything except this.

[picks up an ashtray]

Navin R. Johnson: And that’s it and that’s the only thing I need, is this. I don’t need this or this. Just this ashtray. And this paddle game, the ashtray and the paddle game and that’s all I need. And this remote control. The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that’s all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that’s all I need. And that’s all I need too. I don’t need one other thing, not one – I need this. The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this. And that’s all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.

Navin R. Johnson: And I don’t need one other thing, except my dog.

[dog barks]

Navin R. Johnson: I don’t need my dog.

Pulp Fiction is a black comedy or dark comedy.

[c@lbob]

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles; High Anxiety; and Pulp Fiction all meet my laugh-out-loud quotient. 5 is too short a list.

[HMC Rich]

Good Call Catlbob. Let’s have even more fun and expand it to 10 and if Spinal Tap is one of the favorites, then it can go to 11.

My other 5 plus the Spinal Tap waiver.

6. Animal House

7. High Anxiety

8. Trading Places

9. Being There

10. Bowfinger

11. Spinal Tap

I was just saying today, before even seeing this thread, that I needed to re-watch This is Spinal Tap and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!

And I agree with Office Space, Napolean Dynamite and Best in Show! I know there are more, will have to think about it…

So many great lists and great reminders, time to fire up the DVR and/or Blockbuster runs!
