Good comedy movies

You guys nailed a lot of my favorites, like Raising Arizona, the Big Lebowski, etc. but I CAN NOT BELIEVE NO ONE HAS MENTIONED:::


CABIN BOY.

Chris Elliot is a genius. Or a jackass, I'm not sure --but he's hilarious.
 
In no perticular order, movies that put a smile on my face just thinking about them:

  • Airplane
  • Office Space
  • History Of The World Pt 1
  • Young Frankenstein.
  • Super Troopers
  • Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Has anyone mentioned:

  • Caddyshack - (yes, everyone on the set was stoned blind when they filmed the opening dancing gopher bit)
  • South Park - FLMFAO
  • A Fish Called Wanda
  • Sean Of The Dead!
  • Kung Pow, Enter The Fist - "eweuweweuweuweuweuweuweuweuweuweuw"
  • Kung Fu Hustle
  • Waking Ned Devine - (super funny opening bit + scene of naked old guy on motor scooter is hilarious)
And if those last two weren't obscure enough, how 'bout this one:

 
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou ("Some crooked F***er just broke into my lab. Load my elephant gun with buckshot")

Royal Tannenbaums

Marx Bros. Day at the Races
Marx Bros. Night at the Opera ("The party of the first part shall be known in this part as the party of the first part")

I HEART Huckabees

Many of my favourites like Big Lebowski and such have been mentioned so I'm not going to bother repeating...

But I got to say, it was around 4:20 am in every sense and I watched the new mega shark vs giant octopus and I almost peed my pants.. It's like a porn movie without porn but with airplane eating shark and other classic stuff. Pure brilliance.

Any B, no, lets say Z movie monster flick will have me crying from laugher. I've actually been compiling a clip movie from all monster/dinosaur/shark/lizard/poodle-with-an-attitude movies that is made up just from the scenes where the horribly done "special effect" monster eats humans. Funny stuff. So far, I have about 70 scenes, but it's still just about 12 minutes long. Most of those studios can't afford over 10 seconds of computer graphics per movie :)
