I'm having a bit of a sad day, twisted my knee in the snow and feeling a bit lonely. I want to watch something really funny to cheer myself up. Please send your recommendations this way.

Airplane is my absolute favourite. Or maybe Blues Brothers.

I think Some Like it Hot is really funny. But I think you need to b a Jack Lemmon fan.

I recall laughing a lot the first time I saw The Mask.

Blazing Saddles Grin

justinhawkinsnavalfluff · 14/01/2021 18:49

Hot Fuzz everytime!

Kung Pow.
Or anything with Jim Carrey or Robin Williams.
Airplane! Police Academy.

Clearly I can't pick one Grin

I don't know about 'of all time' but we love Hot Fuzz in our house, largely cos we live down the road from where it is set.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles never fails to cheer me up, also Meet the Parents. Shrek as well.

Spinal tap
Life of Brian

National Lampoon's Animal House

NemesiaPinkLagoon · 14/01/2021 18:53

I love Zoolander!

Also Arsenic and Old Lace, a Cary Grant one from 1940. It's very silly and he is so handsome in it (of course).

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Michael Caine and Steve Martin.

Tucker & Dale vs Evil - I don’t even like horror films
