These are movies i currently own and HAVE watched over and over again, I havnt kept track of how many times. Im not a huge comedy movie fan even though i love to watch them when they are good i dont seek them out. Also i realize looking at the list all of these movies are downright silly lol.

Can't believe I had to go this far down the thread to find mention of What's Up, Doc?

and still no mention of Borat...

Kung-Pow! Is one I try to force onto close friends but that just usually gets very awkward, very quickly.


I'll watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall any time it's on. "Woohoo! Dracula musical!!!"


Clue never gets old.


Haunted Honeymoon (1986) is wooo-woo-WOO... excuse me. It's woo-WOO-woo-wonderful.
o.O

The Private Eyes is silly fun.

And one mustn't forget about Galaxy Quest. "YOO AAR AAAR LAAST HOPE'."

So Fine (1981). Brilliant comedy in my opinion.

You're right about Clue

I'm big on the dark side of comedy:



God Bless America
The Opposite of Sex
Happiness
Very Bad Things
Four Lions
In Bruges
The Death of Stalin
Harold & Maude
Death to Smoochy
World's Greatest Dad



You get the idea...
