1. The Three Amigos

2. Old School

Austin Powers: Goldmember has the funniest credits ever.

The 40 Year Old Virgin is one of the funniest as well.

Old School was also classic.

Office Space is another one that should be on the list.

I would have to add Office Space and Christmas Vacation.

No "Dumb and Dumber" on here?!

I agree with Robin on Guffman, too, and Non's list makes me think of the "Putting on the Ritz" scene in Young Frankenstein. I was rolling the first time I saw that.

The Big Lebowski
This is Spinal Tap
Raising Arizona
Waiting for Guffman
Office Space

Venkman · 06-15-2006, 05:14 AM

My list:

Plains Trains and Automobiles
Ghostbusters
Dumb and Dumber
Caddyshack
Stripes
Animal House
The Jerk
Vacation

not my top picks, but some underrated ones IMO:

Zoolander
Weatherman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy
Glaxy Quest
Kingpin

There are several that you have to watch multiple times to just try and keep up with the jokes:

Planes, Trains and Automobiles--Steve Martin's scene at the counter where he drops the FBomb about 30 times is an all time great scene.

Airplane--Is there a funnier movie?

Three Amigos--Truly just an awesome show.

Anything by Christopher Guest but specifically Spinal Tap and Best in Show.

As mentioned, some other very funny movies include Old School, Hot Shot, the Jerk, Office Space, Young Frankenstein and Fletch.

Just one of many one-liners that still make me laugh, 10 years since I've seen it last.

"Samsonite. Man! I was way off!!!"

No discussion of the Coen brothers can be complete without at least mentioning "O Brother, Where Art Thou."

If you don't get that movie, you probably didn't watch it with the subtitles on. It is pure genius, and is by far George Clooney's finest hour.

Indeed. Could very well be my favorite movie ever. Hence my Avatar.
