Couldn't agree more. I stopped the film at the end and watched again immediately. Hilarious but it's lost its bite now.

For the funniest film overall i would have to say i still laugh at anchorman and old school everytime i see them.

However i think the funniest moment from a film for me would be from a film called dead man on campus. The film itself i didn't find that funny but there is a bit where the guy goes to jump through a slide up upen window but the window drops just before he goes through it. When he gets up his reaction is brilliant. I bet a lot of people wouldn't find it funny but i just couldn't stop laughing.

I think my funniest film would probably have to be...

Disney's The Emperor's New Groove

It's the only film I can watch over & over & still find all the gags just as funny as the first time I saw it all those years ago.

Pure Class & easily Disney's best toon ever

In the first Austin Powers the scene after he was un-frozen where he did that huge wee made me laugh so much the first time I couldn't breathe.

Blazing Saddles I also found very funny indeed, althought it starts to get stupid towards the end.

Also Rat Race had some very funny moments in (the Claus Barbie musuem being one of them)

And then finally a little known film on the Vipco label called Drive in Massacre. Not supposed to be funny, but when me and a mate saw it we were rolling on the floor in laughter.

Cool

When I first saw it I thought Its A Mad, Mad, Mad, World was the funniest. Although not as funny now I still rate it as a comady classic.

I must have watched this about half a dozen times and this is my favorite scene. Cracks me up every time.

No one has mentioned Blazing Saddles yet?


Hudson Hawk for me - controversial I know, but still damn funny

Monty Python - Holy Grail

I went to see it on its first release with my mates and laughed alot. I went back a few days later with my girlfriend, and was wetting myself in excitment in expectation of the Black Knight fight scene. "come back I'll bite your legs off"

Life Of Brian - helped to keep me sane when my Dad was in hospital on the ICU and HDU wards. So that film will always have a special place for me.
