I think mine would be Planes, Trains, Automobiles.

I also loved Superbad, Anchorman and Trading Places.

Some like it hot
Crocodile Dundee
My favourite film ever is Ghost, it makes me cry and laugh in equal measure. Whoopi Goldberg is brilliant.

Not the funniest but recently saw the new Peter rabbit film with DH and DD and was in stitches. 10/10 would recommend

Omgineedanamechange · 05/03/2019 21:53

The first half hour of borat makes me cry with laughter.

DurhamDurham · 05/03/2019 21:54

I'm not even sure why but I laughed all the way through My Cousin Vinnie.

idougahole · 05/03/2019 21:54

Shaun of the dead and hot fuzz definitely

TheRugbyValkyrie · 05/03/2019 21:56

Blazing Saddles, Airplane and Hot Fuzz make me cry with laughter every time.
Holy Grail, Life of Brian and Deadpool are bloody hilarious too!

LimeKiwi · 05/03/2019 22:41

Not read the thread, just the opening post.

Full Monty. Full on brilliant. Although "Put down and piss off!" lol

lavalamp08 · 05/03/2019 22:43

Three stooges, i watched it on an aeroplane coming back from Mexico, I had to hold my nose at first I was laughing that much and in the end i had to turn it off it made me laugh that loud (on a night flight)

bugeyedbarber · 05/03/2019 22:47

So many good ones on this thread

Some Like It Hot
Monty Python and the Holy grail
Life of Brian
Blues Brothers
Wayne's world

Grand Budapest Hotel is a gem and Ralph Fiennes is the most underused comic actor ever.

More recently Alpha Papa

HankyPanky04 · 05/03/2019 23:05

Dinner for Schmucks

SluggishSnail · 05/03/2019 23:16

Monty Python - any of the films

Also Steve Martin, for example The Man with Two Brains or All of Me

National Lampoon Vacation was funny, much as Airplane was.

Emms80 · 05/03/2019 23:25

From the posts I've read after mine obviously more educated humour! Where as mines just filth 😂

JazzerMcJazzer · 05/03/2019 23:35

Saw Bridesmaids again on TV, accidentally, had forgotten how hilarious it was.
“He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy” never fails to crack me up.

Gregory’s Girl has some very very funny bits.

And I rather enjoyed Bridget Jones’ Baby.

IsabelleSE19 · 05/03/2019 23:39

For pure non-stop gag delivery it has to be Airplane. Love it!

AlecTrevelyan006 · 05/03/2019 23:40

Airplane
Hot fuzz
Anchorman

TheClitterati · 05/03/2019 23:43

Oh brother where art thou?
And
Bridesmaids.

Never tire of watching them.

Leah91 · 05/03/2019 23:47

Another vote for 'what we do in the shadows', it's one of my new favourites. Any film featuring Leslie Neilson and a lot of films by Mel Brook

Dhalandchips · 05/03/2019 23:52

Dumb and dumber sent me into labour with #1 baby!
I wet myself at Borat, though was 8months pregnant with #3 baby.
All time funniest for me though is Life of Brian.

drigon · 05/03/2019 23:52

Airplane
The Party (Peter Sellers)
La Cage aux Folles
Woman in Red (Gene Wilder)

Lovingbenidorm · 05/03/2019 23:58
