Anyone ever watch "The Mouse That Roared"?

Then there's "Harvey" - I love the scenes where Elmer introduces his friend to the ladies at the party, and the one where the old doctor unburdens himself

"Tootsie" - I love the scene where Hoffman's disguise is blown and he comes up with some crazy explanation on camera as to why his character was in drag

"The Pink Panther' - the whole series except for the last two

"Bananas"

"Sleeper"

You know what I like about you guys? You always give me great ideas fo movies to rent when there's nothing new in the store that I want to see.

I've always thought that Caddyshack was overrated. The part where the Baby Ruth bar went into the pool was hilarious though! I laughed so hard that my face hurt from smiling and my sides hurt from laughing and I couldn't breathe.

What is the movie Dr. Strangeglove about?

In no particular order:

Office Space
Monty Python & the Holy Grail
Anger Management
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and the one where they go to Wally World.

Father of the Bridge 1 & 2 were very funny.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was also good.

Star Trek V: Final Frontier wasn't exactly 'funny', but it had some great dialogue and interaction between the characters.

YES! I was going to nominate that one myself! Been thinking about it since Buddy Hackett recently died.

There is a team trying to find all the "missing pieces" for a new DVD. The original was supposed to be FIVE HOURS long so it would feel like the movie was taking place in real time. Don't know if I could take five hours of Ethel Merman, though.

Sad afterthought: probably 95% of posters here don't know who Ethel Merman was.

What is the movie Dr. Strangeglove about?
The funniest possible subject of all.......nuclear armageddon.

It's sort of a spoof on another movie "Failsafe", in which American long range nuclear bombers are accidently sent to bomb Russia.

you guys mentioned some movies I missed

National lampoon's vacation, and christmas vacation

raising arizona

bull durham

major league

and a recent one I just watched was Adaptation. That was a great movie. It's not the slapstick kind of funny. It was a brilliantly written film- narcisism and all.

Most of mine are already mentioned. But I do recommend Adaptation. It's even better if you "get it". There's something that happens 2/3 of the way throught he movie that explains why it ended the way it did, and why the characters seem so out of character.

signs was funny... even more so since my sister was scared while i was laughing. intergalatic aliens invade earth but can't open a door and their main form of attack is sticking their appendages through cracks/windows/etc. of course water ends up killing them all in the end. isn't there water in the air?

Hey, I have her disco album on CD.

Anyway,

The funniest movie I've ever seen is still Airplane! I've seen it 20 times and it still invokes fits of hysterical laughter in me.
