Top 5 - Comedy films.

[stewart boyle]

Interesting that nobody has listed any Mel Brooks stuff yet:  Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein, The Producers.

I nearly did Jay,Blazing Saddles is the only Mel Brooks comedy I found funny....
Perhaps because I grew up on the Star Wars Trilogy,Spaceballs was close to blasphemy..and the fact it wasn`t very funny...

Im with the 10 year old but what do I know I like Star Trek. Though I thought all the Trek movies except II Khan and maybe IV the whales were crappy. I like the poster artist 

The trilogies to watch were done by Leone and Jackson.

[Juli]

The Hangover, Animal House and A Christmas Story are among my all time favorite comedies.

[stewart boyle]

I like the poster artist 

You know me,I know JS about these...
What other poster art that he was commissioned for should I have a look at?

Best

It is so difficult to narrow to 5. 

[Mirosae]

Hey, I love old musicals.  Stuff it Ari.

OK, my comedy list in no particular order (of stuff that most will overlook)

1. It Happened One Night (Gable, Coulbert)
2. What's Up Doc? (Redford, Streisand)
3. Buck Privates (Abbott&Costello, Andrews Sisters)
4. Desk Set (Tracey, Hepburn)
5. The Philidelphia Story (Grant, Hepburn, Stewart)

But ask me again in an hour, and I'll probably pick a different 5.

Similar to mine,

Add Casablanca (yes, I do think it is a comedy) and Some Like it Hot, still the funniest ending ever

[brude]

1) Monty Python and the Holy Grail
2) Dumb and Dumber
3) Step Brothers
4) Bringing Up Baby
5) The 20th Century

[Ari]

1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
2. Planes, Trains and Automobiles

4. Dumb and Dumber
5. The 20th Century
