esmeralda Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a good oldie! Liar, Liar, actually almost all of Jim Carrey's movies. Meet the Fockers is really a good one, and yesterday I saw the Pacifier, which was also fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pags Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Jun 26 2005, 02:17 PM) QUOTE (paganoman @ Jun 26 2005, 01:02 PM) And also, has anyone ever seen The Hollywood Knights?? CLASSIC!! Like A Glove (Don't listen if easily offended) YES!!!!!! I skip over all the Tony Danza going to vietnam sections, but the rest is classic. Isn't it great how no matter how it jumps from one scene to the next, Robert Wuhl is always there? Newbomb Turk rules! "This punch tastes funny...I've had this taste in my mouth before..." Turk is the BEST!! It does have a little wang in it..... good though. Can I have some more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Forgive me for reviving my four-year old thread, but I have another to add to this list: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story Great pure comedy - hilarious from start to finish!

Sonatine Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 must add anything from Laurel & Hardy, especially "The Music Box", "Way Ouy West" and "Them Thar Hills" Also, Peter Sellers in "The Pink Panther" and "Return of the Pink Panther".

Mara Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Another vote for Airplane! Along with MP's The Holy Grail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Probably not all that familiar in the US, but over here in the UK we had the pleasure of the "Carry On...." series of movies between the early 60s and mid 70s - good old British toilet humour at its best lol. My personal favourite being "Carry On Cleo", and the great quote "Infamy, infamy! .... They've all got it in for me!" http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/ff/Carry_On_Cleo_DVD.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 QUOTE (Sonatine @ Oct 18 2009, 04:38 AM) Also, Peter Sellers in "The Pink Panther" and "Return of the Pink Panther". Nobody ever seems to mention Peter Sellers in The Party. Pure comedy! Spinal Tap or Animal House might get my nod for THE BEST though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 "The Odd Couple" with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. A little dated, but immensely funny without resorting to slapstick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Hard to know exactly where to draw the line between "purely comedic" and comedies that have dramatic elements. Most comedies have at least a small amount of drama to them; having a conflict and a resolution makes for a better film, and VERY FEW comedies are nothing but a series of gags without a dramatic storyline to hang the jokes on. But I see most people have smartly ignored the "purely comedic" guideline and simply chosen some of their favorite comedies, so I'll do the same: This is Spinal Tap Airplane! Every Woody Allen comedy, from his first until roughly 1986. Every Albert Brooks film. Most John Hughes movies, particularly "Ferris Bueller" and "Planes Trains and Automobiles" Almost all of Kevin Smith's films.

I hated his movies even before it became a widely known fact that he is indeed ultra-creepy. But I don't know anyone who "sort of likes" or "doesn't really care for" Woody Allen. He seems to inspire extreme feelings on either side. I think people who live in New York are more likely to find him funny. An awful lot of his stuff seems to be NYC insider jokes.
