Clue…Tim Curry at his comedic best. The dialogue is fantastic, and the delivery on each line is incredible.
Airplane!..See previous comments
The Naked Gun…The first one has me in stitches every time. “‘When I see six guys wearing sheets stabbing someone in the middle of Central Park in full view of 200 people, I shoot the bastards. That’s my motto!’ ‘That was a Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Ceaser, you moron. You killed five actors. Good ones.’”
Kentucky Fried Movie…Then again, I think I have a fascination with the ZAZ crew.
This Is Spinal Tap…Just that scene where Nigel is showing Marty his guitar collection. “Don’t touch it.” “I wasn’t gonna touch it. I was just pointing at it.” “Well, don’t point, either.” “Can I look at it?” “No, you can’t look at it, either. I think you’ve seen enough of that one.”
Throw Momma from the Train…“Owen, you had a three-page story with two characters, one of which was dead on page 2. It wasn’t hard to figure out who did it.” “Yeah, the guy in the hat killed the other guy in the hat.”
or
“Who are you?” “I’m Owen’s friend.” “Owen doesn’t have any friends.” “That’s because he’s shy.” “No, he’s not. He’s fat and he’s stupid.”
Raising Arizona “There’s right, and there’s right, and never the twain shall meet.” And the fight scene in the house, when he scraped his knuckles on the ceiling was classic. National Lampoon’s European Vacation and Christmas Vacation A Hard Day’s Night “I’ve toyed with the idea of a ball and chain, but he’d only rattle them at me, and in public too.” “He’s a clean old man, isn’t he?” Monty Python’s Holy Grail
Listing two that haven’t been mentioned yet but that always crack me up:
Monty Python’s Life of Brian - taking the liberty of the inexact quotation, " No one, and I want to make this perfectly clear, is going to stone anyone until I blow this whistle!"
The thing is, I can’t think of any older comedy I’ve seen, except for the occasional Abbott and Costello movie (Which I should have mentioned). Right now, all I can think of are the classic sci-fi movies like Forbidden Planet and The Day The Earth Stood Still, or Hitchcock movies. Hmmm. I know I’ve seen Animal Crackers; I should go and see if I can find a rental to refresh my memory.
P.S. I put the “mon” in Sealemon!
P.P.S. I forgot to mention Flash Gordon in my previous post. That movie practically MST3K’s itself!
My cousin Vinnie is one of the best.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Lock, Stock & two smoking barrels
Snatch
Pulp Fiction has some classic lines
Get Shorty also is good
The Princess Bride
The Pirate Movie!!! I can’t remember who was in it but it’s a movie version of ‘The Pirates of Penzance’ (sp?)
Superdude
Thanks for allowing me to not feel weird for loving Kentucky Fried Movie. I couldn’t believe there were so many posts not mentioning this classic. “The Pocorn you are eating has been pissed in - Film at 11”
I love everything by Kevin Smith - “I’m not even supposed to BE here”
I know it’s been outvoted by “Holy Grail”, but my favorite movie of all time is Monty Pythons “The Meaning of Life”. Where else can you see 200 cast members doing a song and dance number called “Every Sperm is Sacred” and a scene about learning sex education in school by having the teacher boff his wife in front of the class? Damn Funny Stuff.
Tommy Boy
Greatest funny movie ever.
Tommy-“I cant belive he called me I psyco.” Richard-“Did you see yourself in there you are a psyco!”;
Tboy-“Dose this tie make me look fat.” Richard-“No your head does.”
Dr. Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb: “…do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk… ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children’s ice cream.”
Bevis and Butthead do America: “Bork, you’re a federal agent! You represent the United States Government! Never end a sentence with a preposition.”
Spaceballs: “It’s Mega-Maid! She’s gone from suck to blow!”
I have yet to see a comedy that leaves me ROTFLMAO…
