Recommend me hysterical comedies.

[Reign in Acai]

The official movie thread seems to be lacking in the "comedic" front. I recently just watched "Wedding" Crashers" and "the Hot Chick". Both of which tickled my fancy. Recommend me comedies that are witty, low brow, high brow, unibrow, slapstick, yadda yadda.

one of my favorite comedies which most people hate is Little Nicky. now i'm not a huge Sandler fan, but some of his stuff is funny. then there is Little Nicky, which is PURE GENIUS.

and of course Monty Python and the Holy Grail is like, the best movie ever.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Monty Python Slays.

Bring out your dead!
Here's one!
I'm not dead yet!

Little Nicky -

Nicolas Cage is a serial convenience store robber who falls for Holly Hunter, who is a cop. they get married and want a kid, but "her insides were a rocky place where his seed could find no purchase." So they read about a millionaire named Nathan Arizona who's wife had sextuplets, and they figure the Arizonas have more than they can handle, so they baby-nap one. John Goodman and William Forsythe bust out of prison and go visit their con-budy H.I. McDonough (sp) (Cage) and they catch on and kidnap the baby for ransom. Meanwhile, Randall Tex Cobb is a bounty hunter who is also chasing after the wee infant. hilarious hijinks ensue.

"son...you got a panty on yore head."

Ugh, that's the worst movie of all time. And I've seen "Ice Pirates," mind you.

Comedy recommendations, from the obvious to the not-so-obvious:
The Big Lebowski (duh)
Caddyshack
Animal House
Blues Brothers
Airplane!
Clerks
Mallrats (yes, fuckers, MALL-FUCKING-RATS)
Dogma
Old School (best comedy made in past 15 years)
40-Year-Old Virgin
Super Troopers (if you like to smoke weed, seriously, just BUY this movie outright)
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (ditto)
High Fidelity (highbrow humor, but still, it's fucking great)
Office Space
Zoolander (this movie fucking kills me)
A Fish Called Wanda (good shit this here flick)
Dazed & Confused (c'mon, you know it rules)
Bull Durham (great baseball movie, as well as being a great comedy)
Starsky & Hutch (much better than it had any right to be)
Scary Movie 1 & 2 (the Wayans are just funny fucken my pals)
