In no particular (some repeats from earlier in thread in here):
Super Troopers Grandma's Boy Mallrats Happy Gilmore The Benchwarmers Trains, Planes and Automobiles The Blues Brothers Airplane The Naked Gun series The National Lampoon's movies with Chevy Chase Anchorman O Brother, Where art Thou Rat Race Mr. Bean Better Off Dead
You guys have mentioned a lot of the comedies I would have so here's some that haven't yet:
Get Smart Nothing but Trouble Zombieland A fish called Wanda Caddyshack What about Bob? Bruce Almighty (if only for the scene with Jum Carrey making Steve Carrel do the faces) Trading places Police Academy There's something about Mary Spaceballs (probably mentioned before) Men in tights Loaded weapon The three amigos
Some random choices from me of the top of my head (some may have been mentioned):
Most of Eddie Murphy's classics: - Delirious / Raw - Coming To America - The Golden Child (simply because Eddie himself thought the whole movie premise was comedic and acted accordingly)
Agreed on Leslie Neilsen (specifically the Naked Gun movies) and Mel Brooks movies (favorites are Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles and Robin Hood Men in Tights)
All Revenge Of The Nerds movies (it's worth watching just for Booger alone)
Anthing with John Belushi - The Blues Brothers - Animal House
Classic Bill Murray movies - Both Ghostbusters films - Groundhog Day
Weird Science The Three Amigos Galaxy Quest (for Alan Rickman alone) Wet Hot American Summer Horrible Bosses (this was a pleasant surprise) Basketball Team America World Police The Big Lebowski (I'd assume this dark comedy counts)
To be precise, his classic films from the 80s up until 1994: - Drunken Master 1-2 - Wheels on Meals - Project A 1-2 (Project A is arguably Jackie Chan's finest film next to Police Story 1) - All Lucky Stars films: Winners & Sinners, My Lucky Stars, Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars - Miracles / Mr Canton & Lady Rose
Others tread between slapstick and serious moments like the Police Story and Armor Of God series, so I didn't add them but still worth mentioning. Heart Of Dragon however may be the most bizzare example as it awkwardly blends typical Jackie/Samo Hung slapstick with serious mental illness themes that feels so odd to watch...
"Kung Pow" is the one movie that's been brought up in this thread of which I simply don't understand the appeal. I wanted to see that movie hard when the previews came out. However, when I finally saw it, most of it just wanted to make me lobotomize myself. It had some occasional funny moments, but overall it was just sooo dumb.
Same thing with Napoleon Dynamite. Everyone I knew hyped the shit out of that movie when it became popular. When I finally watched it, I absolutely hated it.
I saw Napoleon Dynamite before it broke, in an indie theater. My friends and I all thought it was just about the funniest thing we'd ever seen. Over the next year it steadily picked up more and more steam, and we saw it again the next time I visited a full year later in a much bigger theater! If I'd seen it for the first time then I might have been less impressed since I would have heard half the lines from people quoting it, but as I saw it "fresh" I just loved it. I think most of the characters in that movie are hilarious, especially Uncle Rico.
Airplane The Phantom of Liberty Hot Shots Hot Rod Your Highness A Fish Called Wanda Yellowbeard Macgruber The Party The Pink Panther Anything Jim Carrey Anything Will Ferrell
For me, anything which makes me cringe and want to hide my eyes is great.
Even though Will Farrell doesn't float everyone's boat, my go-to movie when I have a migraine or a terrible day is...
Blades of Glory.
I also love Balls of Fury.
If you have Netflix Instant, I highly recommend a movie I have to be able to pause, just because it's *extremely* uncomfortable to watch: Movie 43.
Hmm. What else?
There used to be a comedy troupe called the Kentucky Fried Theater. They had a "book" of joke ideas which they sold to the Zucker Brothers, and which became the basis of the Kentucky Fried Movie, and then all the Naked Gun movies, Airplaine, and so on.
When I have time, I watch "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story," and if I have time for the Unbelievably Long, Self Indulgent Director's Cut, even better. It will "restore your faith in Judaism."
