another on the list of 'sunday afternoon/i've been cut open and can't move' movies is The Birdcage. classic hilarity.
We watched Jackass 2 recently. It was funny & gross. But you must be forewarned, we had to shield our eyes several times and even FF thru a few scenes. And we have a high tolerance for crass subject matter!! 
One of my absolute favorites! Igador Sparticus is by far the best character!
Kinky Boots (simultaneously hilarious and poignant, based on true story--highly recommended)
I have to second the Kinky Boots suggestion. I loved that movie.

that was so "before spidey", and it was the most funn I've ever had watching a movie. okay, I'm on for jackass but gotta send spidey off for a playdate or somewhere...
Uh, I don't really follow your concern...I mean it's not like kids act out things they see on TV or anything.......
See if you can wait till next month so MANgo and I can watch will ya'll?
You should talk.

This morning I turned on HBO and was so entertained by:

I've never seen the movie Cry Baby, but you just described the Movie Hairspray nearly to a T. Are they that much alike? What am I missing here?
Lemme see, John Waters film; Baltimore, Ricki Lake, Amusement Park, Forbidden love....Hmmm yep, sounds like same movie. I gotta see Cry Baby.
I must confess, I've not seen the other other John Waters films such as Pink Flamingos and Lust in the Dust. I got me some rentin' to do!
