I think mine would be Planes, Trains, Automobiles.

I also loved Superbad, Anchorman and Trading Places.

endofthelinefinally · 05/03/2019 21:16

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.

Emms80 · 05/03/2019 21:16

Can't believe I haven't seen my fav The Sweetest Thing on the list

Shadow93 · 05/03/2019 21:48

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

Anything starring Melissa McCarthy
Everything she says is hilarious

OutOntheTilez · 06/03/2019 00:12

Airplane!
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
The Hangover
We're the Millers
Grin
