Young Frankenstein (That's Fronkensteen)
Wedding Crashers
Click
Brewster's Millions
See no evil, hear no evil
The Great Outdoors
Uncle Buck
Planes, Trains and Auotmobiles
Blazing Saddles
Caddyshack
Fletch
Spies Like Us
Stripes
Fast times at Ridgemont High

Some vintage Eddie Murphy there mixed in with the genius of Richard Pryor. Good choices.

Totally agree with Legend and his choices ... Mel Brooks, what a GOD. Ive seen them all, and loved them all too, but Ferris Buellers Day Off should be there too

I love John Hughes comedies as they are clever and warm and some of the parts of Planes, Trains and Automobiles are hilarious.

When John Candy drives in between the trucks on the wrong side of the road is my favourite part.

I think its absolutely hilarious when Steve Martin has to go back to the rental agency when his car is missing. The look on his face is priceless and then he unleashes a barrage of obsenities at the desk clerk.

1. The Party (1968) Peter Sellers

That alone my friend shows you have EXCELLENT taste. Wonderful, just loved it back then, and still now. It may have been set in the 60s, but that movie will NEVER date. Its a true classic.

Birdy num num.

You guys can't be serious...

Baseketball?? Date Movie?? Two of the most abysmal comedies of all time...

Baseketball is a huge dig at professional sports in how they go over the top in certain things such as naming rights, givaways, ownership etc. Having seen and followed Yank sports for along time its very appealing to me but to each their own.

I wasn't aware a movie had to have aged before being considered classically funny.

About a year ago i remember flicking through the channels when i came across 'The Party' on Fox Classics. Needless to say i watched the whole movie and was in stitches throughout...Sellers is a Genius.

 

[2 True Blues]

Used to crack up at the fight scenes btw SELLERS and his Asian assistant in the Pink Panther Movies. Farkin classics.

Some great moments in Blazing Saddles as well. Another old classic.
