Your top 5 funniest movies of all time

Posted by Whatchawatchin on May 7, 2008 at 2:21pm in About Movies

Comedy, moreso than any other genre, is so varied from person to person. In the same way it's hard to find a horror that will scare you after you know the secret, it's almost impossible to find a comedy that will make you laugh after you know the punchlines. What tops your list? These 5 make me laugh hysterically even though I've seen them 100 times:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Office Space
Airplane
Princess Bride
Super Troopers
The Blues Brothers (yeah that's 6, but really I can't leave any of them off)

I have to give an honorable mention, also, to EuroTrip just for the song "Scotty Doesn't Know". Funniest running gag in a movie ever. Also my favorite screen time for Matt Damon ever! "I did her on his biiiirthdaaaaay..."
