Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Your Top 5 Comedy Movies of All Time

Here's my tentative list off the top of my head:

1. Spaceballs
2. Top Secret!
3. Rushmore
4. Raising Arizona
5. There's Something About Mary

I don't know if it's even in my top 10, but did you know that the movie Airplane! was released 25 years ago this month? I was only ... uh, 28 - 25 ... 3 (check the math), yeah 3 then.

That was on AMC last night. They had it letterboxed with a running commentary typed in the black.

Yeah, it makes me feel old too. Airplane is vey funny, but I have to give the edge to Top Secret. First time I was exposed to the Zucker Bros. brand of humor.

fyi...It's "Bigger, Longer, and Uncut". There's a double entendre going on there.

here's my list, in no particular order:

Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
LA Story
A Fish Called Wanda
Tootsie
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Oh, good call Spiff!

I completely forgot about "Planes, Trains, & Automobiles." That movie is a classic. I'm gonna have to bump a movie off my list for that one.

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off"--I remember seeing that as part of a double feature with "The Karate Kid." My dad didn't tell me there was a second movie, just told me to sit tight. I was blown away by the "Karate Kid" and THEN "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"? The planet's were aligned that day.

So do you prefer uncut or edited versions, spiff?

Airplane
Dr. "Strangelove"
History of the World, Part 1
Robin Hood, Men in Tights
(Almost anything by Mel Brooks)
Short Circuit, part 1

Caddy Shack
Hollywood Knights
Razing Arizona
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Stripes
