hahaha.

you can vote for up to three, just cuz that's lots of hilariity.

I chose Annie Hall and Sleeper (I'm a big fan of Woody Allen) and, of course, the brilliant Young Frankinstein.

wow, like minds -- i was gonna vote for sleeper but i didn't wanna do two woody allen movies so i voted for out-of-towners.

I must admit, I only ever saw American Graffiti, but I sure did love it  8)  The sequel not so much though

I've always wanted to see North Dallas Forty.  I love football comedies

that was hard to do honestly,, without choosing favorites.

now i forgot what i picked...brb

I love the Out Of Towners and Young Frankenstein, I mean Fronkensteen  ;D

I only picked one...American Grafitti

I didn't think movies were as funny in the 70's as they were in the 80's... ???

I forgot about Blazing Saddles, but there's not an "other" option, so . . . . . darn  ;)

some of em i made myself stop after one or two -- mel brooks i did high anxiety and young frankenstein, and leaving off blazing saddles was a difficult decision.

Makes sense. I know I've seen High Anxiety, but all I can really remember from it is Mel Brooks singing "High Anxiiiiiiety" . I'll have to go rent it.

Out of the two I preferred 'Sleeper' purely because it was just so stupid that the whole thing was set in the future yet this ragtime style music would continue in the background.  ;D

Blazing Saddles is probably Mel Brook's best comedy (Young Frankinstein comes a close second).

Young Frankenstein (That's Franken-stein)
Everything you wanted to know about sex but was afraid to ask (my fave scene? the frigid chick turned nympho in public)
Love At First Bite

I love the Goodbye Girl. But I consider it more of a dramedy, than a full-fledged comedy.

Young Frankenstein, Love At First Bite and Oh God.

Monty Pyton and the Holy Grail
Young Frankenstein
Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex

But from the list, I prefer the Return Of The Pink Panther than Revenge.

My three choices are;

Monty Pyton and the Holy Grail 
Revenge of the Pink Panther
Young Frankenstein

Monty Python and the Holy Grail... Because it's the only one I've seen.!  :-[

I would add Blazing Saddles, The Bad News Bears, The Longest Yard and Smokey And The Bandit.

Of course, Blazing Saddles classic comedy of the whole decade!

As big of a Monty Python fan as I am, and as much as I love Cheech & Chong, there is one film that is dreadfully funny, and it's not on the list:
*M*A*S*H*

This wickedly hilarious film had an all-star cast.
Forget the series- Donald Sutherland, Elliot Gould, Tom Skerritt, Gary Burghoff, Sally Kellerman, Robert Duvall, John Schuck, Rene Auberjunois, and Jo Ann Pflug...the cast was stellar, and followed the book rather well.

I've read it, seen the movie, and the series...the film is the best!!!!

Hawk's Rating: Five Mindswords up!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail ("We want a Shrubbery") One of my all-time favorites
Young Frankenstein
What's Up Doc? I think I'm the only one who chose that one. I do believe it was Madenline Khan's VERY first movie.




Cat

i caught the tail end (no pun intended) of "the pink panther strikes again" on cable yesterday.

"does your dog bite?"
"no sir."
clouseau bends to pet dog, who bites him.
"i thought you said your dog doesn't bite!"
"but sir, that is not my dog."

classic!

Blazing Saddles is probably Mel Brook's best comedy (Young Frankinstein comes a close second).

high anxiety's on there!

i was never a big fan of silent movie. i think mel brooks is very hit and miss. but a movie like that could never get made now, funny that.

My two faves aren't on the list.

The Bad News Bears & Meatballs

bad news bears is on the kid's movie thread. i forgot about meatballs, which is funny because i actually have meatballs ii.
