Has someone said all the Mel Brooks films yet? Young Frankenstein and The Producers (the original, not the shite remake) are two of the funniest films ever made. Very rewatchable too. Never much liked Blazing Saddles but some people swear by it.

Yeah. I find Young Frankenstein watchable but just switch off with Blazing Saddles.

Black Dynamite would be my suggestion. Perfect send up of 70s films like shaft etc. Or Top Secret.

Endorsed. Really fun movies that are underappreciated.

Loads of great shouts already in this thread though I'd also add from recent years:

Spy - Melissa McCarthy vehicle that's elevated by a masterclass from Jason Statham. He's amazing in this.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone - worth watching for Jim Carey's David Blaine character alone.


Edit - wow this is an old thread!

“ Nothing kills me. I'm immune to 179 different types of poison. I know because I ingested them all at once when I was deep undercover in an underground poison-ingesting crime ring.”

He is amazing in it, probably steals the movie with his delivery. The very last one he drops about the suit had me almost crying with laughter, I don’t even know why it was so funny but it was.

"Fcuking made it, didnt I"

He's phenomenal in it. Shocked the character hasn't got another outing.

That’s the one, they should give him a franchise with that character, I’d happily go watch it. Maybe his previous escapades like that time he drove a car of the freeway on top of a train whilst on fire, Not the car, he was on fire. Or maybe when he had to watch the woman he loved get tossed from a plane and hit by another plane, midair. Could be hilarious.

He's brilliant. Needs to appear again.

Land of the lost is good too, also if you fancy a series try Green Wing, its crackers.

In a world of my own. People know me here.
The other guys is a good shout. Watched it a few years ago on a flight over to the states. Never really expected too much but I was crying with laughter for most of the film.

The brother's Grimbsy with Sacha Baron Cohen is another one I watched with minimal expectations but found myself laughing out loud on numerous occasions. The elephant scene must be one of the funniest things ever shown on the screen. So much so I was still doubled up at the end credits.

I really just do not get Raising Arizona - I can’t get my head around why so many seem to regard it so highly. The Big Lebowski and Fargo are great, and I have thoroughly enjoyed plenty of silly films and slapstick moments. It didn’t work for me at all.

Recently watched what we do in the shadows, which was very good. The movie is on Netflix for those interested.

I love The Other Guys, but I can’t help but feel the intro (with Rock and Sam Jackson) overshadows the rest of it.

wow, what knockers..

Last night I watched Clockwise (1986, John Cleese) and really liked it. Anyone got any other similar ones to recommend?

A fish called Wanda?

Anything by Buster Keaton, for example:
The General
The Navigator

And some of his grandson, Chackie Chan...
