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.

Hey, I have her disco album on CD.

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.
