Post your favorite comedy that isn’t based off of crude humor.

My top three:

  1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (crude humor is debatable…)
  2. Bedazzled
  3. Miss Congeniality
2

In no particular order:

Quick Change
O Brother, Where Art Thou
The Royal Tenenbaums

Is this another thread where we get yelled at for not including Preston Sturges and Buster Keaton?

4

Yes.

5

Do you mean the original Bedazzled starring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore or the remake? I have not seen the remake, but I love the original one starring Cook and Moore. Saw it again recently on my local PBS channel.

6

No, you get yelled at for not including the Marx Brothers and Woody Allen.

7

I agree wholeheartedly. IMHO, this is one of the more overlooked movies of recent years.

The Princess Bride

Also, the entire Christopher Guest series:

This Is Spinal Tap
Waiting for Guffman
Best In Show

I can’t wait for his new one.

  3. Sherlock, Jr.
