what movies do I find funny?
Breakfast Club
Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Better Off Dead
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Office Space
There's Something About Mary
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Me, Myself, and Irene (the ONLY Jim Carrey movie worth watching besides 'Dumb and Dumer')
Happy Gilmore and Anger Management were Sandler's 2 good ones
Pulp Fiction (yes, FUNNY)
Royal Tenenbaums
Team America
oddly enough, the funniest movie in the last 2-3 years was "Starsky and Hutch"

I guess he's a comedy genius too?

Where is Robin Williams on your list. The MOST hysterical concert is his Live from Lincoln Center. From years ago. Absolutely side splitting. We saw his concert in STL about 2 years ago......

Robin Williams would be very funny if not for the stupid voices. his jokes are good, his voices are very annoying.

i dont think that Chris Pontius is the on person out there with that last name... i was just pointing at the obvious...
we most definately have different tastes in comedy... i can live with that... you think this is funny and you had this guy as your avatar: "America national sport is called baseballs. It very similar to our sport, shurik, where we take dogs, shoot them in a field, and then have a party"... or ... "What's up? Being gay is the new coolest thing, which is why I came to gayest part of America ? Alabama!"... i see no humor...
to each their own... if it makes you laugh thats whats important...

that list is the funniest joke of all. where exactly is "Porky's" on the list? "American Pie" (a Porky's ripoff) is on the list, but the original is not. every movie Mel Brooks ever made should be on there. "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" should be. "Office Space" should be MUCH higher than #65. "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice is Da Hood" should be on there. "The Breakfast Club" should be in the top 5, and it's nowhere on the list.
the ranking #s of "Blazing Saddles" and "There's Something About Mary" are the only 2 I agree with on the whole list. whoever wrote that list is a nitwit.

Porky's that is a classic ... I totally forgot about that movie!!! What about another Mel Brooks movie - Spaceballs - it should be on that list IMO...
perhaps we should all compile a new list... i agree with the nitwit comment

I have always been a fan of History of the World Part 1. There are scenes that still make me laugh.
It's good to be the King!

yes, "History of the World: Part 1" and "Spaceballs" should both be on the list, as well at "Robin Hood: Men in Tights".
another comedy classic is "The Gods Must Be Crazy", why is it not on the list?

I absolutely love Office Space. I have a printer in my office that I would love to take out in a field and destroy.
Also, I love Kingpin at the end where Woody Allen and Bill Murray where bowling and their comb over hair-dos started to raise up. That was hilarious.
By the way, loved the Jaws and the Ten Commandments videos. Great stuff.
