Top Five Funniest Movies
- Thread starter oldman
- Start date
Only because I forgot about it. I would actually rate Rushmore as 2nd only to Bottle Rocket, but definitely ahead of Life Aquatic and Royal Tennenbaums.
It's been brought up obviously, but Anchorman would probably be in there somewhere too.
2 that could have easily made my list were
Summerschool with Mark Harmon. Just a nice memory from when I was younger
Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield. Breakout hit for Sam kineson. Probably the hardest I have ever laughed during a movie when Sam went of on Rodney and Rodney fired back. Classic moment.

- The Jerk
- Dumb and Dumber
- The Naked Gun
Top 5 (no order)
Dumb and Dumber
Office Space
Ace Ventura
Mystery Men
Night at the Roxbury
Others
Dirty Work
The Hangover

I'm posting this before reading anything in the thread other than the OP:
In no particular order:
The Big Lebowski
Uncle Buck
Dumb and Dumber
Animal House
Baseketball
EDIT: I just remembered "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"
How has that one not even been mentioned yet? Dump Baseketball from my list and add that one.

Dumb and Dumber is great, probably in my Top 10-15, but I just find the situations and dialogue to be a little more predictable, and not as funny as what I put in my top 5. I'm not saying it isn't funny, because it definitely is.
I guess, I don't laugh at it quite as much as I did when I was 10, whereas, say the Blues Brothers or Caddyshack make me laugh so hard I cry no matter how many times I see them/hear them quoted/quote them.
you're the antichrist.
two of the most overrated movies of all time - people say they think they're funny just to be in the cool classic movie club. Caddyshack is the Nickelback of comedies.
Some that haven't been mentioned..or one, buuuuuuuuuut
The Sleeper with Woody Allen in it. Pretty damn funny movie. Also has a 100% from RottenTomatoes.com.
What do some of the other movies mention get from the same site?
Old School = 60%
Dumb and Dumber = 62%
Napoleon Dynamite = 71%
Caddyshack = 76%
The Jerk = 83%
And so on...
ALSO, most any Marx Brothers film like Animal Crackers (95% on RT), Duck Soup (92%), etc

do you like things because you actually enjoy them or because rottentomatos tells you to?
