Jackass: Number 2

Is this true? Did you see it? If I were to rate trailers, this would be the funniest of all time. So, how was it? Obviously, good. But, How good? I love Borat. He was the only reason I watched Ali G. Did you see the Ali G movie? It surely had potential. I gave it a 6.5.

Good list IMLX. I would agree with most of those. I forgot about "Bob". I may have to make a top 25. "Airplane", "Caddyshack", "The Jerk", "Blazing Saddles", "Spaceballs", "Fargo", "The Big Lebowski", "O, Brother", "The Ladykillers", "Raising Arizona", "Hear No Evil, See No Evil", "American Movie", and "Houseguest".

Sorry, I got carried away. I could probably make a top 100 to rival that A.F.I. $h!tlist.
Anyone else got a list? Try to include a favorite line w/ each entry. That could be fun.

Call me crazy, but I think Office Space merits a place on this list. It was a well-concieved and clever movie that kept me laughing for the entire length of the film.

[GrannyEsme]

I always thought "Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother" was pretty hilarious. I have to stop and think this category through. I find too many "comedies" just plain stupid (Dumb and Dumber comes to mind as incredibly stupid to me).

I don't think I can list 10 best comedies.

I can think of some movies that I've laughed at, that were silly, but not anything I'd consider a "best" comedy.

I laughed pretty hard in parts of History of the World, Part 1, and even watching Spaceballs, but for the most part, can't think of any.

I agree office space should be on there, as well as multiplicity, the scenes with copy #3 are really funny. Liar, Liar and Bruce Almighty were great too.
