slaphapy Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 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 offothers 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- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostHunter Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I think the funniest movie I ever saw was Canadian Bacon, LOVE that movie ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kblackthorne Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 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 DeadReal GeniusGhostBusters!Python... any Python, but we're quoting Holy Grail a lot lately...Raising Arizona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
