Want to watch a funny movie tonight that I haven't seen. Any recommendations? Any good English films I may have missed?

Ted is a funny movie, came out on friday here in Canada. Depends on what comedies you like though, if you like Family guy then you'll love this movie I think.

Four Lions is good. I watched that recently. Also Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead if you've missed those obvious ones. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels isn't exactly a comedy.

21 Jump Street is very good but just came out on DVD.

Hot Fuzz. A surprisingly high number of people haven't watched this or are unaware of its existence.

Love Big Lewbowski, Spinal Tap and Annie Hall

But Dr Strangelove is the funniest movie I've ever seen.

Twintown is good for a laugh but it gets a bit darker later on.The old 50's Ealing comedies are cinema gold,The Ladykillers,The Lavender Hill Mob and Passport to Pimlico amongst others may be a bit dated these days but are very funny in parts.

Preferred Horrible Bosses to The Hangover. Didn't like Wedding Crashers at all. Found both actors incredibly annoying.

In Bruges...

Not enough people have watched it I tend to find, which is a crying shame.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Sometimes corny but still very funny.

Surprised that nobody has mentioned step brothers yet? Up there with the funniest movies I've ever seen.
