Here's my list (in no particular order): >* Monty Python and the Holy Grail >* Life of Brian >* any Pink Panther movie with Peter Sellers (including A Shot in the Dark) >* Murder by Death >* This is Spinal Tap >* After Hours Above is a sample of type of movies people on the net consider funny. It seems to me that the lists are a bit narrow, focusing in on movies released in the last 5 years or so. I would like to add several others to the list that predate most of the titles being offered: * The Long Long Trailer Lucy and Desi on the big screen * Arsenic And Old Lace Carey Grant with aunt problems * Those Magnificent Men And Their Flying Machines A study in national character * It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World What a little greed will do Add to this list anything my Laurel and Hardy prior to WWII and the Marx Bros. As far as more recent funny movies, my favorites are: * The Blues Brothers SNL alumni on a quest * Trading Places Turn about is fair play * Stir Crazy Funny movie, terrible TV show * Nine To Five ditto -- Dave Williams Tektronix, Inc.
