I have a personal Top 10 funniest movies. 1. "Zoolander" Ben Stiller is awesome. If you've ever known a vain man and forced to deal with the morbid vanity of pop culture...this is one of the best ever. The "walk off" scene...the "I think I have the black lung, pop" scene and the "Orange Mocha Cappucino/Freak Gasoline Fight" scenes HURT ME every freakin' time I see them. 2. "The Jerk" Steve Martin is ridiculously funny in this movie. What a bizarre concept. I laugh every time. 3. "Old School" Okay...this one just rocks from beginning to end. Too many hilarious scenes to mention. Blue...will always be my boy. 4. "Pootie Tang" Sah-dah-tay...when the chick throws young Pootie Tang's Big Wheel out of her apartment window...super funny...to me anyway. 5. "There's Something About Mary" The bathroom zipper scene and Matt Dillon being psychotic...made this one for me. 6. "The Big Lebowski" I just love this movie for some reason. Love it Love it Love it. 7. "Kill Bill Vol. 1 & Vol. 2" Probably one of the most intense and cleverly written movies EVER. Tarantino is GOD. Yeah there's gore...yeah there's blood...yeah a bunch of people die...but this whole cast is amazing...and the humor is brutal. I should have put this one at the top. 8. "Raising Arizona" Good GOD. Okay...if you can watch this movie without laughing until you hurt...something is severely wrong with you. 9. "Monty Python & The Holy Grail" The insanity of it all...it's awesome! 10. "The Blues Brothers" This movie...the actors...the soundtrack...one of my all time FAVORITES! There's a place in the Mojave Desert, just outside of Barstow, CA called Peggy Sue's Diner....they have life-sized resin cast figures of Belushi and Aykroyd dancing...if I could have bought them...I would have on the spot! As far as my all time favorite comedians...they're all dead. The late Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor, and Mitch Hedberg. Sorry my response was so long...but I own every single one of those movies, and I am a comedy FREAK...so I had to be honest and not leave anything out, and to me those movies were all different and special to me. (Nik, this is a great list of films, so the length didn't concern me at all. excellent job of taking the time and thought-JL) Nikki Thomas (aka Myspace Addict) KWYE Fresno California www.myspace.com/nikkithomas The funniest movie of all-time is difficult to choose! My first thought was "Dude, Where's My Car?". I know it was lacking in super intelligent dialogue, but that's what made it funny. My second thought was, of course, Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail. It's a classic! I think I'll have to say it's a tie between those two movies. As far as the funniest comedian...hands down, it's Dennis Leary. I think that his personality is very similar to mine and that's why I can relate to him so well. :) Thanks J! Gretchen Goodyear Arizona www.myspace.com/azharleydiva I think it is "There's Something About Mary". Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz cracked me up with the "zipper" scene and the "loaded gun". There are two. Steve Martin and Jerry Sienfeld. The Bling Witch San Jose Costa Rica www.myspace.com/changingforthebetter "Rat Race" Just so daft, it made me cry laughing. Peter Kay. Keren Gloucestershire United Kingdom www.myspace/kezisyours As far as the movie goes, I cannot sit through Monty Python's Holy Grail without SQUEALING out loud. No lie. I am so noisy during that flick. I LOVE it. But, that's the evil inherent in the system! LMAO. Sorry. Ummmm...Steven Wright, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy and that dude that did Politically Incorrect. I can't pick one. So there's all of them. Especially Steven Wright and Chris Rock though. Love 'em. (Cory, the dude from Politically Incorrect, is Bill Maher, and he does one of my favorite shows, "Real Time" on HBO.-JL) Cory James Rock Chick 98KUPD Phoenix Arizona www.myspace.com/theradioqueen "Shaun of the Dead" Why?
