> [@3\_20\_59\_or\_bust](#): > > The sadly underrated: > > [Intolerable Cruelty](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138524/) I liked that too, but it’s not good enough to be on my faves list. Best gag: Divorce lawyer Clooney belonged to the National Organization of Matrimonial Attorneys Nationwide (or somesuch), with the motto “Let NOMAN put asunder.” ---

> [@Unauthorized\_Cinnamon](#): > > I love a lot of these, and Ghostbusters and A Fish Called Wanda are up there, but I think I need to throw a new name into the running, a movie I can watch over and over and laugh out loud: > > **Noises Off** is my choice. Amazing cast, an overall tone of zaniness, lots of physical comedy, but also moments where, for instance, Michael Caine just saying “No,” in the perfect tone of voice gets me rolling. I was wondering if I was going to be the one to nominate this one. It isn’t one of my all time favorites ( and all three of my top three have been nominated already) but I’ve never laughed more/harder in a theater than watching **Noises Off**. ---

Between Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Raising Arizona, and The Big Lebowski… I have to give it to **The Big Lebowski.** ---

Maybe this needs a different category, but the most unintentionally funny movie ever is _The Wicker Man_ – the remake with Nicholas Cage. And for previously unmentioned possibly funniest movies ever – _Very Bad Things_ and _The Hospital_.
