In reply to the thread:

life of brian

"he has a wife, you know..."

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

the hairdressers husband

not all of its funny, but the dancing scenes and some of the characters are hilarious.

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

To camp things up a bit ;

The Birdcage

Or the original French version;

La Cage Aux Folles.

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

For me, you'd go far to better the Mel Brookes films such as Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, High Anxiety etc. If you're in the right mood, Life of Brian can be pretty funny.

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

The Big Labowski

Napoleon Dynamite

In reply to Murko Fuzz: Along Came Polly

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

The Producers.
Kind Hearts and Coronets.

In reply to Murko Fuzz:
Fist of Jesus, it has subtitles so must be dead cultural as well!

In reply to Murko Fuzz: I think you can't beat a bit of Dad's Army and failing that - the royal family

In reply to Murko Fuzz:
Some great shouts above, to which I could add:
Stepbrothers
Planes trains and automobiles
Hear no evil see no evil
This is Spinal Tap
Withnail & I
Team America: World Police
Anchorman
The Hangover
"Earlier, Funnier" period Woody Allen inc. Sleepers, Bananas, Love and Death
Dodgeball
and Carry On Up The Khyber!

In reply to ripper:

Carry On Up The Khyber!

That's a good call. Suspect it would even make the Taliban smirk.

In reply to Murko Fuzz:
"In Bruges" is a great film, but funny it ain't!

If you can find "Hopscotch", starring Walter Matthau, that's loads of fun.

In reply to Tony Naylor:

How can racist porno midgets on horse tranquilisers not be funny?

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

Another one - In The Loop, proper side-splitter

In reply to ripper: thank you for all the suggestions. I have a new list.

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

Grosse Pointe Blank

I didn't see Kentucky fried Movie or the Blues Brothers on the list either, but they should be...

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

A Town Called Panic. Absolutely mental.

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

One of the best comedies I have ever seen is The Guard. Absoloutely brilliant! In Bruges is a good shout too but as well as funny it's very touching and just a great film.

For less "subtle" comedies I really like Horrible Bosses despite how ridiculous it is. In fact anything with Jason Bateman in it! Extract is a good Jason Bateman film as well. And obviously if you haven't seen Hot Fuzz then that should be first on your list.

In reply to Tony Naylor:
It is dark, disturbing and hilarious! How can you consider it a great film and not funny?

In reply to Byronius Maximus:

Oh yes.

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

Time Bandits
The Fifth Element
Paul
Shaun of the Dead
The Lost Boys


and as already mentioned

The Life of Brian
Monty Python and The Holy Grail

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

Super Bad

In reply to Murko Fuzz: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

In reply to Fat Bumbly2: 2nd that selection.

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

Quite old, but Dr Strangelove is still pretty good

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - how could I have forgotten that one....

In reply to Murko Fuzz: Bio Dome - 90's classic immature humour. Only film that's really had me laughing the whole way through. Think that says a lot of negative stuff about me though.

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

Used cars.

youtube.com/watch?v=zqHZWdFVyyQ&

In reply to Murko Fuzz:
The Castle (australian) is very funny
This is Spinal Tap
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (leg whipping scene had me in tears)
Bad Santa is very good as mentioned
Man Bites Dog is very funny (in a similar vein to In Bruges..dark humour)
Bad News
Mr Jolly lives next door
The Jabawocky

In reply to ripper:

Agreed. Funniest film I've seen for a while.

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

Not sure if Ruthless people is on this list already, but if it isn't it should be

In reply to csw:

What is it with these threads: Dr Stangelove took way too long to arrive and no Brazil, The General, Odd Couple, Some Like it Hot, Pink Panther, Marx Brothers, hardly any Ealing or Woody Allen.

On the more off beat side I'd add Trust, Little Miss Sunshine, Superbad, Galazy Quest, Clockwise and most early Steve Martin films.

In reply to Murko Fuzz: on netflix

Id watch SENSELESS, Bowfinger, Sgt Bliko.

In reply to Vince McNally:
Superbad for me too!

In reply to Submit to Gravity:

Behave, I know some right old shite has been recommended, but really!

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

The Angel's Share (if you speak Glaswegian)
Sightseers
Shallow Grave
Wag the Dog

Trouble with 'really funny' depends if you like sick humour/satire etc: the first 3 on the list might be in one category and the fourth in the other.

In reply to RobertHepburn:

But only the first half....all starts to get a little boring after the guys head for the party and McLovin is with the cops.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels been mentioned?
Sideways
Is Election a comedy?

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

If it hasn't been mentioned yet... In Bruges is great - (in parts you shouldn't find it funny, but you will)

In reply to Murko Fuzz:

Tootsie

In reply to craigloon:

M*A*S*H
Catch-22

In reply to Murko Fuzz: van wilder, goonies, I love "most" Adam Sandler films. What to expect when your expecting was funny. The cottage with Andy Serkis was really funny in a dark way, as was Dog soldiers. Depends what type of funny you like. Carry on films still get me.

In reply to WILLS: Jarmusch. Night on Earth has the funniest scene in any film ever. Mystery Train is genius and more consistently amusing.

Alongside Trust I would recommend Simple Men.

Oh...and Dumb and Dumber is truly funty.

In reply to tomrainbow:

Jarmusch is rather quiet, I think. My favourite is probably Coffee and Cigarettes, but I wouldn't describe it as hilarious.

In reply to Jon Stewart:

A couple I do not think I have seen mentioned

First in Class - About dog owners
Galaxy Quest - Brillient Star treck/Star Wars piss take.
Adams Family Values - So many great one liners.

Another vote for Gross Point Blanc. great film, banging soundtrack

Straight to Hell is a really funny film.

Who are you calling a janitor?

Have ordered In Bruges based on comments above and will look forward to it.

In reply to Murko Fuzz: Freebie and the Bean. Not the funniest, but has (possibly) the funniest single scene in any film, ever.
