John Candy was pretty good in "The Great Outdoors". Dan Akroyd was in that one ,too. Does anyone remember seeing "The Gods Must Be Crazy"and "Johnny Dangerously"?

"The Gods must be crazy" was a weird movie. Funny though :-)
I liked the movie with John Candy where he played Harry Crumb, can't remember the exact title.
He sadly died far too young....

Yeah, that was a pretty funny movie. I don't remember the exact title either...
The National Lampoon's Family Vacation and Christmas Vacation, also rank prett high up on the funny list.

"The Gods Must Be Crazy" ?
That movie slipped my mind. I loved it! Both parts, 1 and 2. Although the first one was better, as with most movies with sequals.

I'm late to the party, as usual. My nomination would be "A Fish Called Wanda". I remember falling off my sofa, I was laughing so hard. Of course, having Jamie Lee Curtis in it doesn't hurt the eyes, either.

Guess I'm getting a little old under the hat. I used to love Bill Cosby when I was young, but humour develops or evolves (or devolves?)in mysterious ways. It often seems nowadays violence and vulgarity are needed to push the extremes to the limit. I still like my own jokes best! I thought that tiger tank dressed in T-34 tracks in "Saving private Ryan" was frustratingly, and depresingly funny. Bein a hea core model nut tends to cut back on your sense of humour. However perhaps it is just that serious side in some modellers which amuses me. I must admit that I've had a supplemental chuckle or to since I enlisted in the wierd wacky and wonderful I.A.C. (International armorama corps, OOps!! I almost wrote U.S.AC!!). I guess I consider life in general pretty funny and mankind in particular.Hey don't shoot me I only dance to the music! I'm off to write a comedy

Yes, but 20+ years ago they would have borrowed a modern tank, painted it gray and slapped the German cross on it. I thought that tiger tank dressed in T-34 tracks in "Saving private Ryan" was frustratingly, and depresingly funny.

Rob,
Excellent point. I think they should do a Patton - Special Edition which replaces all those Walker Bulldogs (or were they Pattons?) with digitally recreated Panzers. Imagine what a battle scene they could make today. Hey....that really would be cool. Maybe we should petition the studio that made Patton.

That would be awesome to have a remake of "Patton". With panzers, Lee's, etc. At least the aircraft were the correct ones. But, who could do as good a job as George C. Scott???

Ben,
That's the beauty of these new "special editions" that George Lucas started. You just change out the effects, scenes you don't like or were done poorly and keep the great actors and their performances.

Rob,
You may be correct, however with the additional technical resources available to the motion picture industry, moola aside, I think its a shame in the age of the cell phone to see such short comings in the design and research side of things. They could have easily skipped, clippped, modified or blurred the sequence of the track section coming homewards.
That's all I can say

I guess the T-34 tread in Private Ryan is the same for most of you guys as the scene toward the end of Top Gun when the cockpit closes on Tom Cruise and he's sitting in an A-6 Intruder. Drives me absolutely nuts. The wife refuses to watch it with me anymore.
All my favorite comedies have been mentioned before, but I'll reiterate. . .
1. Blazing Saddles
2. Holy Grail
3. Planes, Trains and Automobiles
4. Caddyshack
5. Smokey and the Bandit
6. Top Gun (what do you mean it isn't a comedy?)

the one thing that's nice not knowing a lot about armor vehicles, the Tiger tank in Saving Private Ryan looked just fine to me. And so did the Tigers in Kelly's Heroes. Heck I didn't know they were not Tigers till I discovered Armorama.

1. Blazing Saddles- the farting scene and the fight in the studio, plus Alex Karras punching the horse.............guffaw

The best stomach achers....
Monty Python. You can´t compete with that. Life of Brian is also the best film about Jesus ever made. It strikes right to the point. Think about the situation that you are being told that you are the son of God and your destiny is to die on a cross for the sins of all people...not everybody´s cup of tea. I bet Jesus wasn´t willing to do or understand that, neither was Brian. He never realized what was going on...hilarious. Just hilarious.
And the whole set of Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker films, especially Airplane!, Top Secret and the Naked Gun series...
Leslie Nielsen is the king!

I have to agree with Jim for my fav.. you cant win a war without a Holy Hand Grenade. Monty Python is timeless. My close seconds though are Stripes and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Hey guys
For all you British comedy fans the t.v. series "The Young Ones" truley tasteless comedy.
What no Animal House? "Did the Germans give up when they attacked Pearl Harbor!!!!?" Then to round off my list Bueller, Bueller, Bueller Ferris Bueller's Day Off lastly Big Trouble in Little China. The pork chop express signing off. Scott #:-) #:-) #:-) #:-)

"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is still by far the funniest thing I have ever seen. I'm a sucker for English humor.
Jim
Being originally British, I absolutely have to agree with Jim. I'm sorry, but my preference is for
a 'darker' kind of comedy than is available here in the States. Unfortunately most of the stuff Hollywood pumps out is either vaudevillian or sophmoric. Although there are the exceptions such as' Freebie & the Bean', 'the In-Laws', 'Meet the Parents', and aome of the ones mentioned here.
