Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Extraordinarily Deluxe Three-Disc Edition)Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Extraordinarily Deluxe Three-Disc Edition)
Buy new: $21.49 / Used from: $11.84
Enormously entertaining film by the exceedingly clever comedy troupe. Certainly one of the funniest movies ever made.
Airplane!Airplane!
Buy used from: $2.25
I consider this the funniest movie ever made. Wonderfully creative, deadpan humor.
Animal CrackersAnimal Crackers
Buy used from: $12.28
Marx Brothers lunacy. Very funny and entertaining, even though it follows the usual formula.
Austin Powers - International Man of Mystery (New Line Platinum Series)Austin Powers - International Man of Mystery (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.12
Ingenious spoof of spy movies; hilarious and infectious.
Being John MalkovichBeing John Malkovich
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $4.97
Enjoyable comedy from the bizarre mind of Charlie Kaufman. Funny, inventive and entertaining.
The BirdcageThe Birdcage
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $3.30
Perfect cast gives this American version of La Cage aux folles what it needs to excel. I recommend it highly. Hank Azaria is a scream!
Blame It On RioBlame It On Rio
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.74
Michael Caine attempts to resist Michelle Johnson; what a futile endeavor! Not a great movie, but amusing and charming.
Blazing SaddlesBlazing Saddles
Buy used from: $1.96
Hysterical Mel Brooks send-up of Westerns. I’m not very fond of the ending, but the rest of the movie is well worth watching.
Borat - Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (Widescreen Edition)Borat - Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $0.44
Lots of belly laughs in this one. With this film, Sacha Baron Cohen establishes himself as one of the funniest people in the business today.
Duck SoupDuck Soup
Buy used from: $21.04
More Marx Brothers lunacy. Very funny and entertaining, even though it follows the usual formula.
Dumb and DumberDumb and Dumber
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.43
Hilarious movie with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels in the title roles. Sophomoric and filled with scatological humor, but I rank this as the second funniest movie after Airplane!
Horse FeathersHorse Feathers
Buy used from: $20.78
One of my three favorite Marx Brothers movies. Very funny and entertaining, even though it follows the usual formula.
The Jerk (26th Anniversary Edition)The Jerk (26th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.43
Steve Martin is not so much a jerk as he is a loveable, gullible nincompoop. Very funny! I consider one of the three funniest movies, along with Airplane!, Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Dumb and Dumber.
The Man with Two BrainsThe Man with Two Brains
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.08
Very funny spoof of mad scientist movies with Steve Martin and Kathleen Turner. Lots of laughs in this one.
The Naked Gun - From the Files of Police Squad!The Naked Gun - From the Files of Police Squad!
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.97
Frank Drebin hits the big screen in the first of this trilogy, which was a mild consolation after Police Squad! was cancelled. Very funny nonetheless.
Police Squad! The Complete SeriesPolice Squad! The Complete Series
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $10.99
Don’t let the fact this was a mere TV show deter you from buying this RIGHT NOW; this is one hilarious series, which gave way to the three “Naked Gun” movies. Great stuff finally on DVD.
The Seven Year ItchThe Seven Year Itch by Billy Wilder
Buy used from: $3.95
Enter the fantasy world of Richard Sherman (Tom Ewell). Where else would Marilyn Monroe move in to an apartment with a connecting staircase? Great movie!
There's Something About Mary (Widescreen Edition)There's Something About Mary (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.64
A very popular movie for a reason. I cannot imagine anyone except Cameron Diaz in this role. The rest of the cast is perfect as well.
The Wedding SingerThe Wedding Singer
Buy used from: $0.55
Pretty good ‘80s nostalgia romantic comedy. Drew Barrymore is especially good as the love interest to Adam Sandler’s usual likeable goof.
