I know the choices are virtually endless but what was the one that made you laugh the hardest?Mine comes down too "Meet The Parents" and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"They are both so funny its hard to pick between the 2.

    I have 2 and both have the same star. Something about Mary & Meet the parents. I crack up until my head hurts each time I see these movies.

    If you will blame gun makers for every shooting then blame car maker for every car accident.

    "Its a Mad,Mad,Mad,Mad World"is pretty good and the newer movie "Rat Race" is funny but just a rip off.Another movie that I always laugh at is "Full Metal Jacket"the first 45 minutes of that movie is hilarious.

    Anybody else seen Modern Problems with Chevy Chase ? I can't find anyone else thats seen it and it was one of the funniest movies Ive ever seen. Blind Date with Bruce Willis and Kim Basinger was great too, even though she was clothed the whole movie

    My vote goes to Caddyshack, Bill Murray is absolutely hilarious in that.

    Another one come to mind "The Gods Must Be Crazy". And have one of you seen the documentary called Animal are Beautiful People, where over in S. Africa, once a year critter come from all over and gather around a stand of Marula trees. As the fruit ripens and drops it ferments and the critters have a serious party. Lions, Monkeys, Wart Hogs, Elephants, Giraffes, Ostriches etc etc, all partying together. Man, when they get sloshed there are some funny scenes and the morning after is just as good !

    Man...I'm WAAAYYYY too old to remember all the funny movies I've seen. The most recent was Shreck. The ONLY funny thing that Mike Myers has EVER done.

    Caddyshack!!
    "His boat scratched my anchor" Rodney Dangerfield is very funny!.

    And then besides the Vacation Movies it would have to be Money Pit.

    Me Myself and Irene, Monty Pythons the meaning of life just for the restaurant scene, The Holy grale for the fight with the black night "Its only a flesh wound", Something About Mary, Just about anything with John Candy in it and the list goes on and on.

    When Clinton left office they gave him a 21 gun salute. Its a damn shame they all missed....

    Nothing but Trouble....Chevy Chase and Dan Akeroyd(?) I think that's the name of it. He gets arrested by John Candy and taken to some old junk yard for trial.

    Someone beat me to it, "The Gods must be crazy". There were at least two of them & while both were good the first was the best.

    Young Frankenstein , Blazing Saddles and O Brother Where Art Thou. Tim Blake Nelson (Delmar) steals the show. I actually paid to see that show 7 times and by the end of that I and alot of other people would set and recite the lines as the show went on.

    Wow. There are a lot of really good choices here. I remember laughing very hard at The Twelve Chairs, but I haven't seen it in a long time, so I hope I'm not steering anyone wrong on that one. I was really surprised at how funny The Gods Must Be Crazy was. Also, What's Up, Doc? was very funny. And Dr. Strangelove. There are a lot of other Peter Sellers films I really like too. There are so many. Welease Wobert! Welease Wodney! (Anybody know what that hilarious bit is from?)

    I have to go with either M*A*S*H or Porky's. Both of them had me laughing so hard I had to see them a second time to catch lines I missed the first time in my mirth. First time I saw Porky's was the first, last, & only time I fell out of my seat gasping for breath from laughter.

    fear and loathing was a gutbuster so was bean.dont be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood was hilarious but the say the n word about 500 times so it is not for the easily offended.horse feathers with the marx brothers and andy griffith in no time for seargents were the funniest black and white movies ever made. no time for sgts is a must see for anyone ever in the military.schindlers list maybe......ok ok bad jokeand all time favorite comedy is blazing saddles

    I gotta say two of my all time favorites are different types of humor with the same actor....Top Secret from the makers of Airplane, and Real Genius both with Val Kilmer...However, I also must recommend a movie that is out in a small number of theatres right now...Sordid Lives...if you get the chance it is worth it. Set in Texas and has all the twists of a bad Jerry Springer episode. I swear I am related to some of those characters!

    In it's "time frame" Cheech and Chong. Now days I do not find it quite so funny, but they were pretty good back then.I agree with mudge about Shreck.(sp?)

    Ditto interstate...."This is Spinal Tap" was one of those that I had to see twice as I was laughing so hard the first time through I missed some of the jokes. Lampooned every cliche in the rock 'n' roll business.

    Also, most anything with John Candy. Really miss that guy.

    I almost forgot Start the Revolution without Me, with Donald Sutherland and Gene Wilder as two sets of twins, including the Corsican "Brothers De Sissy" and the nefarious villain Escargot.

    I actually thought The Three Musketeers was hilarious when it first came out, with Raquel Welsh as the innkeeper's beautiful but dumb wife getting whacked by the dummy at the end, and Christopher Lee with the eyepatch not seeing the poorly concealed York only because he has only one eye -- that particular joke only works in the widescreen version -- the joke is lost on the "pan 'n scan" TV prints because you can't see the whole picture.

    Airplane was hilarious -- especially the straight men like Lloyd Bridges doing jokes -- a brilliant idea. And Young Frankenstein: "PUT---THE CANDLE----BACK!" and "Frau Bleucher!" and "Ah Sweet Mystery of Life at Last I've Found You!"

    That would have to be "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" It"s ALL STAR comedy cast was huge. Young people probably wouldn't apreciate it.I think it was hysterical. A lot of newer movies have been close, "Rat Race" tried to mimic it. I would like to own a copy.My all time favorite.

    Another older movie I always thought was funny was "Murder By Death"w/Peter Faulk and Peter Sellers as the Chinese Detective.All the Pink Panthers were good too.
