Title: Favorite comedy Post by: shadytool on July 08, 2004, 07:23:57 PM i think that one of my favorite comedies of all time has got to be "Blazing Saddles". that shit is just too damn funny.
what are some of your guys favorites? Title: Re: Favorite comedy Post by: Zimbacca on July 08, 2004, 07:48:56 PM Blazing Saddles is a great movie. i think my favorite comedy would have to be either Blazing Saddles or Space Balls.
Title: Re: Favorite comedy Post by: Lord Nepenthean on July 08, 2004, 08:45:43 PM Monty Python and the Holy Grail - no contest. Three of my other favorite comedies are Bottle Rocket, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Big Lebowski. Off-beat humor is the best humor of all.
Title: Re: Favorite comedy Post by: Sauza12 on July 08, 2004, 10:52:49 PM Of course, anything by Mel Brooks is good (well, almost) but some other favorites are Office Space, Most Kevin Smith movies (burn in hell Chasing Amy), Caddyshack, Monthy Python, and any really dumb/spoof comedy (think Kung Pow and Scary movie). Comidies are my favorite types of movie so I could go on forever.
Title: Re: Favorite comedy Post by: den68 on July 09, 2004, 09:42:12 AM well any Python flick qualifies, most notably Holy Grail and the Meaning of Life.
a few others are Kingpin with Woody Harrelson and Randy Quaid. Better off Dead with John Cusack and this ones a bit obscure but Tapeheads with Tim Robbins and John Cusack. Title: Re: Favorite comedy Post by: thx1138 on July 09, 2004, 12:40:09 PM I don't think I have even cracked a smile at a Mel Brooks movie.
monty python movies are okay. One of the funniest movies I ever saw, got slated by the critics, it was called "Hotel Paradiso" and starred the cast of BOTTOM the t.v show. Title: Re: Favorite comedy Post by: thx1138 on July 10, 2004, 03:17:58 AM oh yeah, I watched The Anarchists Cookbook a coupla weeks back, I laughed very hard at that. So I do like some American comedies. :)
Title: Re: Favorite comedy Post by: shadytool on July 10, 2004, 05:27:17 AM what the hell is Bottom?
the only english shows i can see on a pretty regular basis are are you being servered (is that name even right?) and Dr.Who. Title: Re: Favorite comedy Post by: thx1138 on July 10, 2004, 07:21:12 AM Bottom is sort of like The Young Ones.
typical scene from Bottom LIVE at the old vic theatre...... Richie: No Eddie! You can't say fuck, this play is being recorded for video, we don't want to have problems with certification. Eddie: Can we say cunt? Richie: NO! Eddiie: (waks to front of stage, takes a deep breath and yells) CCCCCCCUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at the top of his voice. That's about the level of the humour. Title: Re: Favorite comedy Post by: Zimbacca on July 10, 2004, 01:49:18 PM now i really want to see that movie
Title: Re: Favorite comedy Post by: shadytool on July 10, 2004, 05:45:27 PM Dead Alive as also pretty funny, but a different kind of funny.
i agree with nep that The Big Lebowski is a great comedy. i you havent seen this, drop what you are doing and go get it! NOW!!!! Title: Re: Favorite comedy Post by: Mike Leon on August 03, 2004, 10:57:14 PM This is Spinal Tap
Grosse Point Blank The Big Lebowski Title: Re: Favorite comedy Post by: Lord Nepenthean on August 04, 2004, 12:37:16 PM Wow, I forgot This is Spinal Tap somehow. Great movie. The other movie that guy made, which for some reason I can't think of right now, was great too. Happened in Blaine, was about a small town putting on a play of some sort. Anyone?
