Big Trouble in Little China
Support your Local Sheriff

Rob

1) Super Troopers
The Big Lebowski
Office Space
Napoleon Dynamite
Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
Home Alone
Ferris Behulers Day Off
Groundhog Day

Raising Arizona

In no particular order after #1. Many from richarDISNEY's list and Flat Beer and Cold Pizza's list are in my top 25.

Cant believe I forgot "Super Troopers". I can watch that any time its on.

Who wants a mustache ride?

I'd throw in anyting Broken Lizard has done

But truth be told, I am not much of a comedy fan.

In no particular order:

1) Ruthless People
2) Cold Comfort Farm
3) Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
4) My Cousin Vinney
5) The Wedding Singer
6) Night Shift
7) Princess Bride
8) galaxy Quest
9) Toy Story
10) Moonstruck

I would have to include Viva Max some where in that list.

Good choices all

I would add Raising Arizona (which, I know, many people don't consider a comedy) – but the Lone Biker of the Apocalypse is a great character

Also in random order:

Kingpin has to be in there somewhere.
In the Loop
Shot in the Dark – yeah good choice.
Without a Clue -the Ben Kingsley/Michael Caine Sherlock Holmes spoof
Borat
Dr. Strangelove
Christmas Vacation
Dumb & Dumber
Rushmore

Airplane

Meet the Parents (Didn't Know Robert De Niro was so funny)

The Longest Yard (1974)

YouTube link

Also,
Borat
Bruno
The Dictator
Austin Powers
Waynes World

"The Longest Yard (1974)"

A classic!

The Party.

Birdy Num-Num

The Gods Must Be Crazy! (haven't laughed that loud in a movie since, and only once before:
Bedknobs & Broomsticks (please understand I was quite a bit younger then…)

Yes, The Party is great. It's been so many years since I've seen it. It's a great film to see Sellers do something other than Clouseau (sp?)

And The Gods Must be Crazy is another classic.

Team America World Police
YouTube link
Idiocracy
YouTube link

Also:

Idiocracy

The Producers (the original)

Turkish Star Wars

I guess there's no Chevy Chase fan??? I think Christmas Vacation has to be in the top 5 at least! Followed closely by:
My Cousin Vinny
Sideways
The Black Night

Duck Soup and Animal Crackers have to be in there somewhere :)

The Great Race, Jack Lemon at his zaniest.

Also in no particular order.

His Girl Friday
Animal House
To Be or Not to Be (the original with Jack Benny)
The Hangover
Father Goose
The Court Jester
Old School

Dr. Strangelove
Animal house
Kelly's Heroes
Caddyshack
Pink Panther
Strange Brew
Young Frankenstein
My Cousin Vinny
Airplane
Naked Gun

Could be lots more. Hard to pick my favorites.

another vote for The Great Race and The Princess Bride. I'd add A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum--Zero Mostel at his peak.

The snark in me wants to suggest Battlefield Earth.

"10" is hilarious, when Bo Derek is not on the screen. Then it withdraws into awe-struck admiration of her body.
When she is not on, it's one of the funniest movies ever.

How about just Military Comedies
1) Dr. Strangelove
2) Kelly's Heroes
3) Love and Death
4) The General
5) Duck Soup
6) Bananas
7) Monty Python and the Holy Grail
8) Stripes
9) Team America, World Police
10)Gunga Din
Did I forget anything?
Black Adder 4th Season and Dad's Army are hilarious.

Many that have already been mentioned, but especially:

Waking Ned Devine
Raising Arizona
Animal House
The Music Box (Laurel & Hardy)
Abbott and Costello Meets Frankenstein

Did I forget anything?

Operation Petticoat
I Was A Male War Bride
Mr. Roberts

Airplane II was actually better than Airplane I.

How about Murder by Death

Bowfinger
Holy grail
Big lebowski
life of brian
Blazing saddles
Airplane II
Animal house
young frankenstien
dirty rotten scoundrels
the harold llyodd one where he is a tram conductor.

Starship Troopers 3

Plan 9 From Outer Space

Neither intended to be, but both definitely were :)

Dog Soldiers, very funny.
Army of Darkness, how could you not laugh?
Demolition Man, Sandra Bullock and very funny.
Bubba Ho-tep, Bruce is the man.

All of these make me laugh.

What, no Cheech and Chong? I see Yellowbeard above so maybe this qualifies? lol Still prefer it to Life of Brian.

Raising Arizona is definitely a classic, still gets me crying and laughing at the same time which is a good thing :-) It is definitely considered a comedy, although you could say a dark comedy.

Army of Darkness is good.

Since this is a top ten list, I am afraid that we mustn't forget Charlie Chaplin. Still one of the all time funniest ever. Buster Keaton is too. The Marx Brothers are definitely up there as well.

I forget the Richard Pryor movie where they buy the house and the sellers literally take the inground pool with them? Very funny!

Toshach, Agesilaus and Allen57 have a good lists! But again, if you don't go back to the classics, you haven't done a complete service to the list. Top Ten is way too small. The Harold and Kumar movies are pretty funny too. Something About Mary is definitely one of those that I laugh and cry at the same time at! The PI getting new teeth and the pizza man trying to get his set of keys from the floor (classic physical commedy!) No love for Dumb and Dumber?

So many,so little space.

Big Trouble

Shrek

Night at teh Opera
Day at the Races
The Big Store

Bob Hope's Ghost Breakers

The 12 chairs
Modern Times
Music Box
A funny thing happened on the way to the forum
