Pink Panther Strikes Again also very good (some prefer it).  Watching Kingpin tonight, haven't seen it in years.
I think my favorite so far of the Panther series is A Shot in the Dark, and my favorite Sellers is probably...The Party.  The opening scene alone has me rolling on the ground every time. LOL
the detonator scene?   yeah, quintessential '60s film

That, but most specifically, his praise-worthy efforts to continue playing his horn for such a long time. LOL

Kingpin was okay, it's got moments but has too much stupid plotting

Really? I thought Cruise was the only funny thing about the movie.
 
Yeah, but you also bought into Herman Cain Wink. LOL  Tom Cruise has never been good at his job.  Terrible actor in general.

this is the truth
 
One of my favorite movies Big smile
 
Some other absurd classics:
 
Guest House Paradiso (absolutely hilarious!!)
Hot Shots I & II
Top Secret!
UHF
Up In Smoke (Cheech and Chong)
Jane Austen's Mafia
Baseketball
High School High
Spy Hard
Super Troopers
Loaded Weapon 1
Ace Ventura (both)
Big Lebowski
Braindead - assuming this is Dead Alive
MASH
Shaun of the Dead
 
 
I knew there were a bunch of films I forgot, those are a few.  Also, this reminded me: I left out Hot Fuzz, which I actually put ahead of Shaun of the Dead.


Time always wins.

"Blazing Saddles" is the funniest movie ever made.  As for Woody Allen, the nod goes to "Stardust Memories".

Monty Python followed by Spinal Tap. A personal favourite of mine is Grandma's Boy. I'll never forget the first time I watched that one. Also, The Big Lebowski should be on here. Smile

Holy Grail may be the finest comedy ever written, but IMO Spinal Tap is funnier

my other favorite Woody Allen's must be mentioned as they are so friggin good.  Not all his films are made equal and he definitely had a bad period between about '95 and '03, but below are him at his peak as a writer/filmographer and absolute must-sees for any Allen fan;

A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy
Zelig
Broadway Danny Rose
Hanna and Her Sisters
Radio Days
Crimes and Misdemeanors
Husbands and Wives

If it had been The Life of Brian, I would have voted for that as I think it is the best Python film and is better than all the others here.   I think that both YF and Spinal Tap are better so I go for Spinal Tap but by a short whisker and I will change my mind again tomorrow

I'd have to agree with thsi, really bad film.

Voted for Python.

I think it has moments of pure genius:



Its hard not to vote for Holy Grail here, but my real favorites are

The Jerk (Steve Martin)
Life of Brian
The Party (Peter Sellers)
Anchorman
The Spongebob Squarepants Movie
Dumb and Dumber
And Ågget är Löst!



I laughed a lot when I saw Meet the Parents but hated Meet the Fockers. Love Annie Hall as well.
