softfilter Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I agree with rushgoober's Woody Allen picks and would also include these also by Allen, The Front Zelig Radio Days Crimes and Misdemeanors Sweet and Lowdown Also what's the deal no Python? You gotta have The Holy Grail and Life of Brian , both still hilarious after all these years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I haven't seen them, I'd like to. Dr Strangelove or: How I earned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut Little Miss Sunshine A Fish Called Wanda I've seen all of those, and they were all funny (some more so than others), but none of them did I enjoy as much as the first two Austin Powers.

You gotta have The Holy Grail and Life of Brian , both still hilarious after all these years! I've seen every Woody Allen movie, at least up until the mid-90's, so I've seen all of those, but really the only movie of his that I'd probably stick in a top 100 that I didn't mention of his would be Love & Death which is my absolute favorite of his "early funny ones". Besides that, I think that Annie Hall, Manhattan and Hannah and Her Sisters are his true classics, although there are many, many great ones. I'm not as crazy about Life of Brian as some are, but I agree about Holy Grail, that should be on my list. My list is incomplete because, well, it's just too hard to remember every move I've ever seen to put on the list, but Holy Grail should be on there too along with Love & Death. Also, The Emerald Forest, The Graduate and many others I haven't thought of yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love &Death up there as well. Haven't seen anything he's done lately last movie of his I watched at theater was Small Time Crooks. Had it's funny moments but overall just ok.

If I haven't seen them, I'd like to. I never could get into Austin Powers. I never thought Myers' was funny anyways. So there are heaps of flicks that I think are way funnier. I'm hard-pressed to think of ones funnier than these: Animal House Spinal Tap The Party (with Peter Sellers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
