classic comedies

[slaphapy]

so, what do u guys' classify as a CLASSIC comedy?

i think one of the greatest movies on the face of the earth (ok ok a little extreme) is:

Ferris bueler's day off

others of my favorite comedies:

- Good Morning Vietnam

- Ace Ventura: Pet detective

- Better off dead

- beverly hills cop movies

- Caddy Shack

- Robinhood:Men in tights

- Cool Runnings

- Real Genius

- Spaceballs

- The money pit

- Joe vs. the Volcano

- most definately the vacation movies ;D

- Brewster's millions

- Groundhog's day

I think the funniest movie I ever saw was Canadian Bacon, LOVE that movie ;D

I agree with Ferris Beuller's Day Off ("anyone? ...Beuller? ...Beuller? ...Anyone?") and Canadian Bacon.

Classic comedies for me would definately include good old Monty Python. Namely, the Quest for the Holy Grail, and the Life of Brian.

I feel old when FerriS Beuler is "Classic". Here I thought we were talking things like "The Aweful Truth", "His Girl Friday", and "Some Like it Hot"!

But if we're considering 70's-'80's as "classic", then...

Better Off Dead

Real Genius

GhostBusters!

Python... any Python, but we're quoting Holy Grail a lot lately...

Raising Arizona

[Digital Guerrilla]

two words Woody Allen and two more words the sleeper :P :P

Classic comedies huh.. well, I can name several, but looking at my DVD collection, I'd say:

Fawelty towers.

Blackadder.

Monty python movies.

Most movies with Chevy Chase (National Lampoon's vacation series Fletch, caddyshack and others).

Most movies with Steve Martin (Blue lagoon, Sgt. Bilko and others).

My favourite classic is "cool runnings" with the jamaican bobsled team ;D

Blackadder series

Monthy Python movies

We can't forget SCTV, or the movie based on Bob and Doug MacKenzie, called Strange Brew.

"Luke, like I am yer father, eh?"

[Dunenewt]

Faulty Towers, Dad's Army

[nemafakei]

Python, of course... Blackadder, One foot in the Grave,

Only Fools and Horses, Porridge is excellent, Fawlty Towers is ok, Keeping up Appearances is good, too.

[Acriku]

[slaphapy]

Dont forget about Airplane 1 & 2! And also Robinhood: Men in Tights.

Robinhood: Men in Tights is one of the funniest mel brooks movies i have ever seen!!! (along with spaceballs)

i also liked Airplane 1 ... not so much 2(same thing with a little different story)... found it too boring...

But if we're considering 70's-'80's as "classic", then...
