TServo2049 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I'm only going to include movies I've seen all the way through multiple times. As with Jack, in no particular order:GhostbustersBack to the Future [if Jack counts it as a comedy, I will too]Duck SoupThe Great RacePee-Wee's Big AdventureClerksGalaxy QuestBlazing SaddlesA Night at the OperaWayne's WorldNational Lampoon's Animal HouseBoratGroundhog DayMonty Python and the Holy GrailThe Producers [the original, of course]A Christmas StoryWho Framed Roger RabbitYoung FrankensteinNational Lampoon's VacationThe Princess BrideBeetlejuiceThe Blues BrothersHome AloneMonty Python's Life of BrianUHFDrop Dead Fred [yes, I'm serious; this is a big "guilty pleasure" favorite of mine]Here are a few other comedies which I didn't feel right putting on the above list because either I'd only seen them once, I'd only seen parts of them, I'd seen certain parts/scenes multiple times but had only seen the whole thing once, I'd seen the whole thing but not all in one sitting, or only part of the movie qualifies:Trading PlacesAirplane!Dumb and DumberTropic ThunderA Day at the RacesAnchormanThis is Spinal TapArsenic and Old LaceIt's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad WorldBraindeadA Shot in the DarkThis is the EndShaun of the DeadSpaceballsSingin' in the Rain [One of my favorite musicals, but I'm including it here because I think that the section involving turning The Dueling Cavalier into a talking picture (climaxing in the disastrous test screening), along with every scene involving Lina Lamont, is absolutely hilarious. I just didn't feel like I should put it on the main list, because I don't consider the other parts of the film funny in the same way.] Edited July 27, 2014 by TServo2049 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the apartment but is it really a comedy, not even a dark comedy. IMO, it has to be closer to a serious drama than a comedy??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yeah, I wasn't sure whether to include The Apartment myself, but I've always thought of it as a comedy with dramatic elements. It combines serious moments with jokes and satire, and the overall tone is pretty light, I think. Then there's the ending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 I only included movies that genuinely make me laugh hard, that's why things like The General and Some Like It Hot aren't there even though they're better films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
