My favorite no-brainer, dumb-ass, funny as hell movie: Next Friday. Far dumber than the first and ten times as stupid-funny.

I am in such disbelief at seeing the film which shall henceforth be known as UttPer, or Utter Perfection if you’re not into the whole brevity thing, that I can’t even quote it to defend itself.
There is no coding error in my post.
If you are seeing one, Karl Hungus has branched out into monitor repair as well. Call him. He’s a good man, and thorough.
Nobody’s mentioned the Zucker, Abarhams & Zucker ouvre? (Airplane, Naked Gun, etc.?)
Not only are they mindless some of them are actually GOOD :).
Rocky Horror Picture Show
There’s Something About Mary
Raising Arizona
The Ring might be pretty good on a projection screen, but it’s hardly a comedy.
Return of the Jedi on a big screen? Yes, please.
“Slapshot” or “Blazing Saddles”. Ain’t nothin’ like a classic!
Somebodys gotta go back an git a shitload of dimes!
I’ll second the Zucker flicks.
How about Gone in 60 Seconds? Lotsa action. No thinking allowed. Nick and Angelina!
Don’t settle for remakes; the original Gone in 60 Seconds kicked ass.
There’s also The Big Bus, pre-Airplane disaster movie spoof.
And how 'bout Rendezvous. Claude Lelouch bolted a 16mm camera to the front bumper of a Ferrari and drove flat-out across Paris in the early morning. Without permission. The first time it was shown, he was arrested. It’s only nine minutes long, and there is absolutely no thinking required.
For a total relaxation, may I suggest Hatari! … John Wayne, Red Buttons, elephants, rhinos, monkeys, and music by Mancini.
If your going to watch Two Towers, get Fellowship as well!
Godzilla King Of The Monsters.
In glorious black and white.
The Warriors
The Long Kiss Goodnight
The Flash Gordon movie from the early 80s
Big Trouble in Little China
Both LaurAnge and I enjoyed National Lampoon’s Van Wilder and Old School as far as mindless comedies go. I’d recomend them for light fratboy fun.
Check out Shakes The Clown. It’s a movie about a bunch of party clowns who get drunk after work still in full costume and makeup. It stars Bobcat Goldthwait, Adam Sandler, and later on even Robin Williams. There is no plot whatsoever until about the last 20 minutes of the movie.
Independence Day
I second;
The Big Lebowski
Half Baked
Van Wilder
And I add;
Bad Boys
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Another vote for The Big Lebowski, Half Baked, and Jay and Slient Bob Strike Back.
But for the love of Og, people, what about
Animal House
Ghostbusters
Don’t Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood (which I’ve never actually seen, but I can’t even fathom it having any redeeming value whatsoever)?
Reanimator
-Die Hard
-Die Hard II
-Dog Soldiers (If you can find it. British army squad against werewolves. Fun movie)
-A second nomination for “The Long Kiss Goodnight” (Bad title, good movie)
-Playing God (w/David Duchovny)
-Plunkett & McCleane (A good “musket movie”)
-The Punisher
-Return of the Living Dead (I or II, III wasn’t as good)
-Shockwaves (Nazi Zombie movie)
-The One (w/Jet Li)
-The World is Not Enough
-Zeppelin (With Michael York. It’s probably hard to find, tho’)
-Anything in the “anime” section of the video store that has guns, vampires, giant robots, or some combination of those on the cover.
That’s weird. The first time I saw The Ring was on a projection screen. You’re right, it’s not a comedy. That is, of course, if you have many college freshman gals who scream and grab onto your arm every time they think something remotely scary might happen. It can be funny if this happens at 2 AM. But don’t laugh, or you’ll get hit with couch cushions.
