Honourable mention for Hot Shots Part Deux. 

American Pie 2 is funnier than the first one imo, although the first is a classic of its genre. 

Surprised not to see Zoolander, Wedding Crashers or Dodgeball mentioned. 

Oracle has impressed me there with his In Bruges shout. You may be capable of redemption m7

Withnail & I


In Bruges is one of my favourite films ever but is it a ‘comedy’ film? Same with Withnail tbf

Used to love A Fish Called Wanda but haven’t watched it in years

Withnail is a shout, I'm replacing cheech and Chong in my 5. It's definitely a comedy

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Man with Two Brains

Ferris Bueller

When Harry Met Sally

Planes Trains and Automobiles

The Tall Guy


Mid to late 80s had some brilliant ones

 

Withnail

Big Lebowski

Princess Bride

Napoleon Dynamite

I think Lebowski is the only one nobody has mentioned.

The word itself makes some men uncomfortable.

Bill and Ted

Life of Brian

Spinal Tap

Best in Show 

Local Hero

Withnail & I

Best in Show (thanks for the reminder, goose!)

Gregory's Girl 

Borat

Superbad

Coming to America

Mean Girls

 

 

"Used to love A Fish Called Wanda but haven’t watched it in years"

I used to love it but it has not aged as well as many other classics from the era.  Somehow the American comedy films are more timeless...

Cool Runnings

Planes trains and automobiles

Coming to America

Van Wilder is a failed comedy.  The wastepaper basket scene is well done though 

I’m team Anchorman. I once got a client by quoting that film at a conference. Most people looked confused, but this one guy looked at me, smiled, and slowly nodded approval. 

Anchorman has some great moments, no doubt.

I think we are forgetting Prior & Wilder.

Brewster's Millions, See no Evil, Stir Crazy, Blazing Saddles all epic

Airplane! for the one-liners

Hot Fuzz

Borat (although it is too cringy to watch more than once)

Blazing Saddles has come up a few times but you remind me also of the Producers.

Young Frankenstein

Jingle All the Way

Deck the Halls

Dunston Checks In

Mousehunt

 

All but the first, watched over the holiday with younger family members too much merriment - not all of which was booze-induced.

Quite how YF not mentioned yet is beyond me. 

 

I have watched several Woody Allen films multiple times and loved them, not so much recently  

Love me some Woody Allen, the 70s and early 80s stuff in particular but they are all the same really.  They are all about his neurosis, particularly around women.

In no particular order


Blazing Saddles

Big Lebowski

Melania

Dogma (a guilty pleasure)

Life of Brian

 

In no particular order

Zoo lander 

The Hangover

Sideways

MASH 

Wedding Crashers/American Hustle 

 

Has no one mentioned Intolerable Cruelty?

V quotable.

Election is perfection

Shout out for True Lies

The ‘science oven’ scene in American Hustle was hilarious (and JL’s performance was great generally).

Election flew under the radar a bit but was very funny, and quite dark.
