Votes for the funniest film ever?

[twirlaround]

Looking for inspiration for a secret santa present for my boss!

You're so MONEY bakedpotato
I must admit I cracked at the very idea of Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller as male models...

yes Zoolander was fab too

I made dh watch Zoolander as I heard it was funnier than you might expect. It is a classic What a pair of wallies

Mind you, they were both pretty funny in The Royal Tenenbaums too. Bit twisted for a Christmas present though...unless your boss is a sleazeball charlatan like Gene Hackman of course...

I married an Axe Murderer
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
The Big Lebowski
Blazing Saddles
Blues Brothers
The Man With Two Brains
erm.....Carry on Camping??

I'd go with Airplane as well, it was a classic when it first came out, especially the scene with the nun playing the guitar to the sick child.

anything with steve martin in.
airplane
dumb and dumber
life of brian

starship troopers

no! just remembered
my fave funny film ever....
see no evil, hear no evil!

oh go, just re-read thread, not for your boss

what sort of boss is he?

Something about Mary

or she

Another vote for When Harry Met Sally
Saw Hitch recently and both dh and I laughed like drains at that.

Weekend at Bernies made me howl the first time I watched it!!!

The big lebowski does it for me.

Withnail

Marina - yes it is the one with puppets

absolutely hilarious can't believe it even got a release in America, it is soooooo scathing. Excellent puppets too

Fargo

My boss is a nice guy - early 40's, quite masculine, likes cars...

keep the suggestions coming, this is fab!

I just watched The Life of Brian again and it had me in fits - I'd forgotten how funny it is.

ooh forgot about Withnail and I - yes, definitely

oh fargo! she was my hero when I was pregnant

the Goldmember and spy who shagged me are very funny

ENIDeepMidwinter, just had to say - love your name.

Funniest film? I liked Local Hero (but it might be a minority view):-

'Is it too late to call the vet, d'you think?'
'Lovely baby, whose is it?'
'Ach, ye'll never get six sheep in the back of a Maserati'

...etc

goldmember was dreadful! We only got halfway through it and had to stop it was so rubbish. What a waste of a dvd rental.
