The funniest movie of all time

[Strat]

I’ve been to Duluth

[wease]

I've watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles upwards of 50 times and never stop laughing. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is up there too.

Fuck yeah.

Also in the John Candy subgenre goes Who’s Harry Crumb? and The Great Outdoors. Uncle Buck is good and the biggest hit, but I prefer all 3 I’ve mentioned to it.

Did you ever see Delirious?

Fuck yeah, I have. Forgot it, dammit. I prefer it to Uncle Buck, as well.

I love Delirious (and Crumb and Great Outdoors, too). Our COVID pod watched Delirious last year. I was the only one among us who had seen it. They all HATED it so much.

It still cracked me up, though.

not sure it's the funniest movie of all time, but i don't think I've ever laughed as hard as i did the first time i saw Ace Ventura in the theater. The freaking tutu scene almost caused me to piss my pants i was laughing so hard.

The hardest I ever laughed in a theater was the Jim Carrey taking over Steve Carell during the live broadcast scene of Bruce Almighty.

The hardest I've ever laughed in a theater was probably There's Something About Mary, but I was a lot younger. I'm not sure if that movie or I have held up well.

[LetMeSleep]

Oh yeah that's a hilarious film you DEGENERATE

You've leapt a little there, bud. I never said it was a hilarious film I just mentioned that it was the last time I remember laughing out loud.

Amazing manipulation by both director and editor in that film.

Now, would you like to talk about The Idiots?

edit: For clarification, both Happiness and The Idiots were painful to watch.

[LetMeSleep]

I don't really find Jim Carey or Will Ferrell funny. In fact, most of the films mentioned in this thread I didn't enjoy.

Stripes was good but I was a kid when I saw that last.

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I can't think of many laugh out loud movies I've seen over the last decade. The last time I remember laughing in a cinema was Happiness.

I'm not sure the problem is the movies, LMS.

[LetMeSleep]

The Big Lebowski
Clerks
Napoleon Dynamite
Shaun of the Dead
Love Serenade
The Castle
Groundhog Day

[Rangi Guy]

The Big Lebowski
Clerks
Napoleon Dynamite
Shaun of the Dead
Love Serenade
The Castle
Groundhog Day

Ohhhhh The Castle - that's a great pick

[LetMeSleep]

Hunt For The Wilderpeople was pretty funny too.

Crackerjack
Bad Eggs
Muriel's Wedding
Four Lions

[B]

I don't agree with most of your picks, LMS, but I'm glad you thought of some. It's good to know you've laughed since 1998.

[Farmer John]

What We Do in the Shadows is up there.

[50 Million Feet of Earth...]

Major League (probably the most underrated)
There's Something About Mary
Spinal Tap
Revenge of the Nerds
Old School
Office Space
Airplane
Clerks
National Lampoon's Vacation
Jackass

[Malloy]

a more recent vintage: The Nice Guys, and something older, Little Murders & A New Leaf

[Ello Sailor]

What We Do in the Shadows is up there.

Sonofabitch, there's another modern classic I had forgotten about.

Yeah, that's a great call.

You are a man of great taste, my friend.
