I should’ve included _Singin’ in the Rain_ as an Honorable Mention.

Can’t really order them but my top three would be:  
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles  
This is Spinal Tap  
Tucker and Dale Vs Evil

I’ve watched them all in the past couple of years. Planes is usually done around Thanksgiving.

It’s a bit obscure, but _De Duva_. It’s a short.

Very funny, but it’s even better to watch in the theater (where I saw it) or in a group, because half the fun is watching other people catch on.

I’m going to think a little more about my list, because I can’t decide if I want to choose the ones I laughed at the most or the ones thatwere just overall better movies. I laughed my ass off at _Wayne’s World_, but it’s not the greatest movie ever.
