Ya Gotta Laugh

Posted by Harmonia on March 2, 2009 at 19:27:36:
What happened to the other comedy thread? "Light comedy...no Dr Strangelove or Brazil"?

With the world going to pot, now seems like a good time to savor the lighthearted side of film with comdedies. What makes you laugh out loud or tickles your funny bone?

The most recent movie I saw in theaters that was laugh aloud hilarious was Death At A Funeral.

These films always bring a smile to my face...

Fairly "recent" films, 80's to present:

Death At A Funeral
The Incredibles
Toy Story 2
Finding Nemo
Wallace & Gromit: Curse Of The Wererabbit
Oh Brother Where Art Thou
My Cousin Vinnie
This Is Spinal Tap
Best In Show
Waiting For Guffman
High Fidelity
Gross Pointe Blank
Say Anything
Groundhog Day
Let It Ride (Wonderful, underappreciated racetrack comedy)
Ferris Buhler's Day Off
Back To The Future
Chances Are (A guilty pleasure, but Robert Downey is brilliant)
Delicatessen
Tootsie
Lost In America
Working Girl
Broadcast News
Down & Out In Beverly Hills

Not quite so recent:

The Producers
Father Goose
Young Frankenstein
Monty Python & The Holy Grail
Life Of Brian
Paper Moon
How To Steal A Million
La Cage Aux Folles

Classics:

The Philadelphia Story
The Lady Eve
Sullivan's Travels
Palm Beach Story
Some Like It Hot
Born Yesterday
The Awful Truth
Arsenic & Old lace
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dreamhouse (I'm a Realtor, and I live in The Money Pit)
Adam's Rib
The Front Page
Kind Hearts & Coronets
I'm No Angel
She Done Him Wrong
The Bank Dick
It's A Gift (W C Fields)
Duck Soup
Animal Crackers
A Night At The Opera
Modern Times
The Gold Rush
The Circus
The Pilgrim
Easy Street
The General
Sherlock Jr.

But are these enough to get me through this whole (awful) year?
