Favorite Comedies

I just watched the Australian film "The Man who sued God", I heard it was a true story. It is hilarious and deep at the same time. Anyone else see it?

Favorite Comedies,

Notting Hill
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Bridget Jones Diary
To Fu Manchu with Love Julie Newmar....come to mind....I will think of more

I find this hard to choose just a few of my favorites.. two that come directly to mind are Spaceballs and The Full Monty.

My mind tends to go blank the minute I try to think of my favorite comedies while I'm sitting at my computer.

It's not one of my "favorites" but the last movie that made me laugh almost all the way through was the Wedding Crashers.

I like most of the ones previously listed, I'll add Amazon Women on the Moon, Airplane, A Fish Called Wanda, The Jerk, Blazing Saddles, The Big Lebowski...I could probably type all day, but I'll end it there.

Office Space is absolutely hillarious. I saw them film the scene where they smash the copier, it was quite funny! Reminds me to mention Dazed and Confused- I recall watching that one being filmed and thinking 'who the heck is Matthew McConaughey?'
