The Party (Peter Sellers)

The first time I saw it I was only about 7 years old. I didn't quite "get" everything that was happening, but just watching him stumbling around. :floor: When that roast chicken or whatever ended up in that girl's hair.:funn:

Summer Rental - Just found this gem, if you live or vacation here rent this movie.
Anything by Mel Brooks or Kevin Smith.

However my all time favorite is Spaceballs!

We just re-watched one of the funniest of all time, the Marx Brothers in "Duck Soup" .... the level of verbal repartee and physical comedy has rarely been matched, and this film is now almost 75 years old!

The best in recent years has to be Hangover, closely followed by Wild Hogs.......

The remake of "Heaven can wait" with Warren Beatty.
Another film I have recently been thinking of is "Time after time", released in 1979. Actually sy-fy, with alot of funny moments. Stars Malcolm Mcdowell. H.G. Wells follows Jack the Ripper to 1970's San Francisco. Very good movie. Have been looking for it on t.v., with no luck and can't find it at video stores. Any ideas?

Incredible set of films!

As far as stupid humor goes, I'm surprised no one mentioned Airplane!

(never mind, just noticed it was listed like four times after doing a search. :)

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
I love this so much I OWN it!

I love the British guy's line:

Are you saying something against America?

J. Algernon Hawthorne: Against it?.......And this infantile preoccupation with bosoms. In all time in this Godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all this this preposterous preoccupation with bosoms. ...

:funn:

One of my favorites is Scorsese's After Hours starring Griffin Dunne (Dominic's son).

It also stars a young Catherine O'Hara, Teri Garr, John Heard, just to name a few. It's quirky, weird, dark, but hilarious. Griffin Dunne is priceless.

Be sure to dvr it if you ever see it on IFC.
