I like The Naked Gun films, but Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is my favourite comedy movie of the '80s.
What about you?

Both are quite "rolling on the floor laughin your ass off" funny but Dirty Rotten Scoundrels have little more class. I like Mr Magoo with Leslie Nielsen as a favo0urite of hes comedies
The Naked Gun is also very funny, super silly Edited by Icarium - February 16 2021 at 14:53 |

I have The Naked Gun trilogy on DVD and I like Dirty Rotten Scoundrels too, so I voted "Both".

The Naked Gun. I haven't seen everything Nielsen was in, but have been a fan of his comedic films going back to Airplane.

The "Naked Gun" series is definitely not my kind of humour.

I enjoyed Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Naked Gun. Voted for the former.
In Englsh language films, the first comedy to come to my mind is Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. The first one I thought of when thinking about it though in terms of favourite comedy of the 80s is Tampopo (a Japanese film).

^ Actually Monty Python is like a relative of mine. Beyond definition. You know, they gotta be somewhere in my life forever. The Meaning of Life is incredibly funny. But, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is more "moving", you know. Monty Python's outputs don't fully give the feeling of watching a "movie", in the traditional sense. Anyway, TMoL was out of my mind when I was saying DRS was my favourite comedy movie of the '80s. It has its special, unique place, of course.

From the list Naked Gun. But since everyone else is mentioning other movies, or complaining about what is listed (typical PA nonsense). I'll nominate This is Spinal Tap.

I consider "Toni Erdmann" and "Ödipussy" to be absolutely hilarious

My mother typically doesn't like anything she thinks is silly, stupid or slapstick. She probably wouldn't like those movies either. I think she liked airplane though(at least to some extent).

I Am Canadian. So it's gotta be Leslie Nielsen's Police Squad. Got'em all on DVD. OJ notwithstanding.

"Tampopo" is a great movie. By the way: Did you ever notice that eating and having sex is often combined in Japanese movies? I don't mean in the way of "eating while having sex", I mean as being central themes in a movie.

Hi,
I did not, and still don't care for these films ... at that time I enjoyed "A Fish Named Wanda" and "A Taxing Woman's Return" (1st Taxing Woman was great too!) ... and of course ... one of the best performances ever in a comedy ... BEETLEJUICE, which would likely get my vote here.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I was also going to say "A Fish Called Wanda". Definitely, laughed the most first time I saw it. And agree on Tampopo and the A Taxing Woman films. The Funeral was also good.
Voted for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. |
