Well, what do YOU think the funniest movie of all time is?

Personally, it has to be Airplane!. Perhaps the best one-liners of any movie to date.


*no poll coming, because i'm a lazy bastard*

My three favorites fall as follows.

1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
2. Airplane!
3. Evil Dead: Army of Darkness

Dr. Strangelove.

If you can't laugh at the extinction of humanity... :p

I just saw Airplane again a couple days ago, so it's my first choice.

But Blazing Saddles, Blues Brothers, and Caddy Shack are all movies that I just laugh all the way through, too.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Pink Panther
Dr. Strangelove
Life of Brian
Young Frankenstein
Blazing Saddles
Raising Arizona

One of those.

Monty Python and The Holy Grail
Space Balls
Army Of Darkness

I'm not sure. I thought Mr. & Mrs. Smith was the most hilarious one I'd seen in a while, but I do love Space Balls. I think Monty Python is highly overrated, though.

#1 Ace ventura 2
#2 Ace ventura 1
#3 Austin Powers 1
#4 Austin Powers 3
#5 Austin Powers 2

Reservoir Dogs! That knife scene with Mr. Blonde was funny is a sadistic way.

I'm not entirely sure what the funniest movie ever was, since there are different levels of funny.

For a quick-witted, fast-paced banter that happens to be hilarious, check out Jules and Vince verbally spar in Pulp Fiction. I especially love the car-cleaning scene: "In fact, what the f#&$ am I doing back here!? You blew the motherf&@%ers head off; you're on brain detail!"

For sight gags, I'm not sure I've ever seen a sight as funny as Mark Hamill doing a bongsaber duel as Cock-knocker in Jay and Silent Bob Strike, although the Pod Scene in This Is Spinal Tap comes extremely close.

For insult humor, As Good As It Gets is absolutely ruthless: "How do you write women so well?" "I think of a man, and then I take away reason and accountability."

For underground cult hits, Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter (yes, you read that right) is pretty freakin' hilarious. I especially loved the clown car full of atheists that provided a never-ending, fantastically terrible fight sequence.

Overall, I can't really pick one. Airplane!, This is Spinal Tap, There's Something about Mary, South Park: BLaU, and Team America are all really, really funny movies. I would have a hard time picking one, because they are all uniquely hilarious in their own way.

I love the Austin Powers (Monday at 8 oon CBC)... and have you ever seen Spaceball? (a Star Wars parody!!!! YEAH STAR WARS ROCKS!!!! :D :D :D :D :D !!!)

Bad Santa, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Eurotrip and Monty Python & the Holy Grail are all up there for me. There are a lot more I should mention, but I'm trying to be picky.

1. Any MP/Screwed
2. Spaceballs
3. Empire of the Rising Sun - Based on a true story about WW2 based in a Japanese occupied China internment camp. Some funny lines/actions are:

English Boy:"I surrender, I surrender"
Japanese Soldier: "I surrender, I surrender" (making fun of the boy in front of his platoon)

English boy:*Starts singing Japanese anthem while seeing Kamikazees getting prepared to start flying, and suiciding*
Various Japanese people:*Stares and sings*
Kamikazees: *Take off*
B52s: *Blows up Kamikazees before they get off the runway*
Boy: GO B52s THE CATALACS OF THE SKY
Various English people: Get off the roof, you don't want to be bombed
Boy:*Runs up on a roof*

Thats all I saw for that movie.

omg have any of you seen "Top Secret" it's fantastic
brilliant,

just to list some of the things that makes it so hillarious

cow suits with big black boots
giant pigeon statues
nazi commie east germans
funny french names
fireplaces that follow people and wear parachutes
train stations on wheels
really big telephones
and underwater bar fights

it's rather dated but still hilariously random, anyone who enjoys strange and random humor MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!

Happy Gilmore, Bad Santa, Airplane I & 2, Anchorman, Half Baked, just too many.

Napoleon Dynamite!

Agreed, those are some pretty good choices. I would add "A Fish Called Wanda" to that list. If you want classic, then "Some Like it Hot" is great, best last line of any movie ever made.

I think Monty Python is highly overrated, though.Heathen.

Anchorman, Napoleon Dynamite, and The Passion of Christ

In no specific order:

Happy Gilmore
Ace Ventura
Ace Ventura #2
Big Daddy
Ghost Busters
Ferris Buhler’s Day Off

Napoleon Dynamite!
I guess his humor is something an educated forty something adult will never understand.

If you want classic, then "Some Like it Hot" is great, best last line of any movie ever made. I beg to differ, "Clear and Present Danger", "Evil Dead: Army of Darkness", "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly", "Se7en", "King Kong", "Seven Samurai" and "A Clockwork Orange" are all worthy equals for best last lines.

Nothing to Lose
Overboard
Office Space

thank you petrodonia, i was kinda worried when noone posted that one...

office space:)

shaun of the dead

Well this one was very funny, but perhaps not the funniest but i wanted to know if anyone else has seen it.

"The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"

Well, what do YOU think the funniest movie of all time is?

Personally, it has to be Airplane!. Perhaps the best one-liners of any movie to date.
1. A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum

2. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World

Well this one was very funny, but perhaps not the funniest but i wanted to know if anyone else has seen it.

"The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"
Classic! They bring that thing back every few years just to stir things up! LOL!

Holy Grail
Airplane and Airplane 2
Office Space
Kentucy Fried Movie

Airheads! oh, and most of the once mentioned already :D

Not in order:

Naked Gun
Airplane
The Magic Christian
Casino Royale (the least know James Bond movie)
The Party

Office Space

Well this one was very funny, but perhaps not the funniest but i wanted to know if anyone else has seen it.

"The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"
Oh yes, and the sequel. Both very fine.

Personal favourite: Sir Henry at Rawlinson End. Everything you ever wanted to know about England .... and slightly more besides.

Eurotrip
The Hitch Hikers guide to the Galaxy (TV version from the 80s, not the crappy movie..)

Team America: World Police was pretty damn funny. Those American Pie movies sucked!

My three favorites fall as follows.

1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I second that!

Monty Python's Life of Brian.

A Clockwork Orange
Pulp Fiction
Blade Runner

A Clockwork Orange
Pulp Fiction
Blade Runner

I thought those movies were suppose to be serious.

I beg to differ, "Clear and Present Danger", "Evil Dead: Army of Darkness", "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly", "Se7en", "King Kong", "Seven Samurai" and "A Clockwork Orange" are all worthy equals for best last lines.
I never saw that movie, so could you tell me that line? Thanks

In no order!

Life Of Brian
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Anchorman
Billy Madison
Liar Liar
Airplane
Jay & Silent Bob

Reservoir Dogs! That knife scene with Mr. Blonde was funny is a sadistic way.

Wrong. The funniest part of that movie is them arguing about their names.

"Why do I get Mr Pink?"
"Because you're the resident fag"

Supertroopers. MIOW!
