Sure everyone watches it all day on Christmas. Sure you get to the point where you have seen it way too much. But, forget all that, and watch it to laugh. Randy alone is a riot.

An ensemble cast at its best. It's relentlessly funny
Dead Men Don't Wear PlaidDead Men Don't Wear Plaid
Buy used from: $6.99
If you call yourself a Steve Martin fan and have not seen this movie then I must slap you. Slap you like a bad, bad donkey. This movie is genius!! A must for film noir buffs.
Legend Of The Eight SamuraiLegend Of The Eight Samurai
Buy used from: $2.62
This movie was not intended to by silly and, as a result, it is. It's based on a Japanese legend called (I think) the Satomi Hakkenden and, according to reliable sources, the makers mangle it.

A Mighty WindA Mighty Wind
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $0.68
This movie (as well as Guffman & Best in Show) are great. Improvisation at its best!!
And Now For Something Completely DifferentAnd Now For Something Completely Different

The absurd comedy of the 70s reaches its high water mark with Monty Python. Some of their best TV show sketches are all here. I love this movie so much it hurts. Hurts in my belly.

Monty Python's Life of Brian (Criterion Collection Spine #61)Monty Python's Life of Brian (Criterion Collection Spine #61)
Buy new: $35.49 / Used from: $7.82
The Monty Python masterpiece. I watch this weekly and never get tired of it. Of course, I don't have a girlfriend. That might contribute to it.
Mr. Hobbs Takes a VacationMr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $7.65
Before the Oswalds there was Mr. Hobbs. This is a great one to watch with other people over and over. It's been a family staple here for decades.

Notting Hill (Collector's Edition)Notting Hill (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $2.20

Rustlers' RhapsodyRustlers' Rhapsody
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $3.86
Whoa, is this movie funny. I'm sure none of you have seen it. CHANGE THAT NOW. See this movie and you will wonder how you ever laughed before it. Now I need some "me" time.
