Life of Brian
This is my vote as well.
This, exactly.
There’s Something About Mary.
First time in a theater I had ever laughed myself to tears.

Without reading the rest of the thread, I’ve narrowed it down to two. Let’s go with coin toss My Cousin Vinny.
Sorry, Nigel.
Likewise. But I don’t think it’s aged well. I tried watching it again about a year ago, and I couldn’t sit through it. The novelty and shock of it all is what had me gasping for breath when I first saw it.
Agreed. I thought about this one as well, and rejected it for the reasons Happy Lendervedder gives, but it was a howl at the time.
There are some scenes in old WC Fields movies that are beyond anything for gut-busting funny, but the movies as a whole don’t wear well enough to mention.
Princess Bride is a fantastic movie, but I don’t know about funniest. And seriously, no other love for Dr. Strangelove?
Add another prevote for Hot Fuzz.
His Girl Friday
Seconded. Well the first choice seconded. The second choice would be thirded (or is it squared?)
Wizard People, Dear Reader.
This is Spinal Tap
“Fear and Trembling.” Maybe not as funny if you haven’t spent time in Japan, but it makes me giggle like a schoolgirl.
Cosigning Blazing Saddles, Office Space, MP& the Holy Grail and Something About Mary.
Adding As Good As it Gets and Arthur (the original, not the Russell Brand remake).
Big Trouble in Little China.
Young Frankenstein.
I will still go for There’s Something About Marry. I watched it again last night for the 100th+ time and still think it is hysterical.
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie
Please re-read Post #1, and pick 1 movie that you think is the funniest of all time. No more lists, please.
At best a 1/2 vote, seeing as how it is just an alternate soundtrack for Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone.
