I rented Eraserhead years and years and years ago, when I was in high school, and immediately became a David Lynch fan. It is probably one of the strangest movies ever made, and I'm not even sure how to describe its humor. Everybody in the movie acts like they're either permanently stoned, or lacking vital parts of their brain. I think I'll try to find the DVD, or maybe Google it in hopes of finding out what it really was about. The line "They're not sure if it is a baby yet..." and the long ride in the elevator remain burned into my mind to this day.
Besides Eraserhead, I'll vote for "This Is Spinal Tap" and pretty much any Monty Python movie. The interrogation scene in Something About Mary also had me in stitches.
annie hall, mentioned more than once...great movie
office space, mentioned several times...i guess i have got to check out this one

The Producers (the original)
Happiness
Any early Marx Bros.
The South Park movie
Dr. Strangelove
Pink Flamingos
Spinal Tap
Huh, I never really thought of Big Fish as a comedy. It's a fantastic movie, but any movie that brings me to tears at the end doesn't go in my "comedy" file.Mitthrawnuruodo said:
Oh, and I vote for Raising Arizona.
No, it's not really a comedy, but it is really funny... and the question were for funny movies, not necessarily comedies...Lyle said:Huh, I never really thought of Big Fish as a comedy. It's a fantastic movie, but any movie that brings me to tears at the end doesn't go in my "comedy" file.

i forgot about all the funny thinks Frank said. i tthink i almost wet myself during the beer scene.
Frank: "that beer's gonna get warm. if there's one thing i can't stand it's warm beer... makes me f[beep]ing puke!"
frank's buddy - "here's the beer frank. do you want me to pour it?"
F: "NO, i want you to f[beep] it. s[beep] yes man, pour the f[beep]ing beer!"
i almost died!
when i first saw pulp fiction, i was grossed out by the violence yet i thought it was one of the better movies that year
after three times viewing it, i realized that it could be seen as a comedy...esp. the scene where quentin's nurse wife walks in on the mayhem...my house doesn't have a sign that says " blank blank storage" on it

I tried not to pick any stupid funny movies, but movies that I find very funny, but also have a decent plot. In no particular order, and I may have missed a few but here are five;
Office Space
Tommy Boy
Grosse Pointe Blank
Death to Smoochy
Big Trouble

How about: A fish called Wanda
As mentioned before: This is Spinal Tap
I think English Comedies, like Blackadder or Fawlty Towers, are also very entertaining.

I love A Fish Called Wanda, and almost put it on my list as 6, but decided 5 was a nicer number. I like British Comedies too, Shaun of the Dead is a recent and very funny movie.
Blood and guts and laughs
Evil Dead 1, 2, & 3(Army of Darkness)
Versus-Evil Dead meets the Matrix meets the 3 Stooges meets Highlander or some kinda samurai movie. If you can't stomach the gore in Evil Dead you probably shouldn't watch this.
Samurai Fiction
I only recently saw Once Upon A Time in Mexico(the Good, the Bad, & the Wacky)PlaceofDis said:
