I think mine would be Planes, Trains, Automobiles.

I also loved Superbad, Anchorman and Trading Places.

I wish I could say something which paints me as someone with class, but nothing makes me laugh more than Kevin and Perry Go Large,
The Inbetweeners (but only the first one) and the American Pie movies!

@Emms80, LOVE The Sweetest Thing -- my list is near the beginning, around page 3 or so, and it has other OTT filthy movies like Dirty Grandpa, Porky's 1 & 2, and so on. The glory hole scene and the maggoty leftovers in the car are two of my favorite things about TSThing, and of course, Selma Blair getting caught on her boyfriend's knob!

Already been mentioned but

Deadpool
Hot Fuzz

And my favourite

Team America - so clever, so quotable, still so satirically relevant and so so funny.

Airplane - watching it in the cinema aged about 12 was one of the most glorious evenings of my life. I think it was an AA so I was underage, even better. Full audience pissing themselves.

Blades of Glory.
Bananas is hilarious [shrug]

I'm sure it's controversial to say this one on MN because it's woody Allen but I recently watched Annie Hall for the first time and was literally crying with laughter
Also ghostbusters and American pie

Get Him to the Greek is terrible but hilarious. Sergio's text always sets me off - "Where the fuck are you? Smiley face." And of course Stroke the Furry Wall. Grin

I love Superbad, I used to work with a guy called Evan and everytime I talked to him my brain came up with a random quote from the film!

Yet another vote for What we do in the Shadows. Thanks to me banging on about how good it is, my whole team at work say “werewolves not swearwolves” if any of us drop an f bomb 🤣🤣
Older favourites are already mentioned - Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Trading Places and Airplane. My absolute fav hasn’t been mentioned (though it is a bit un pc now) - The Jerk starring Steve Martin. I adore this film 😍😍

Massive fan of anything Simon Pegg, the Pythons of course and also Eddie Izzard. Lots of faves actually, but these spring to mind. I am a Brit by birth. Do we have a different sense of humour to the US? I think we do.

The Jerk, of course! Been decades since I’ve seen that. “I was born a poor black child” 😂

Also forgot to mention Harold and Maude.

Parts of Tropic Thunder are hilarious but it drags as a whole film...
Happiness by Todd Solondz is the most funny film I have ever seen... it's very dark though, I was hysterical and horrified at the same time!

I do quite enjoy Anchorman as well! Parts of the inbetweeners movies were quite funny...
I did laugh a lot the first time I saw Zoolander

I prefer British humour but that seems to be best expressed in short bursts... I cant think of many film comedies which I found funny from the UK. Was very dissapointed with the Alan Partridge film and the Ab Fab film.
