Most of the comedies I love are from the 80's, with a few from the 90's

CHAMPION:  Ruthless People

other good ones in no particular order ...


Fletch and Fletch Lives
National Lampoon's Vacation, European Vacation, Christmas Vacation and Vegas Vacation (CLARK:  "Eddie, did anyone ever tell you that you were bad luck?"  EDDIE: "You know, those were my mother's dying words")
Uncle Buck
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Airplane and Airplane II (I love that part where the woman is so distrought, the people on the plane all take turns shaking and slapping her.  In the sequel, she's on the witness stand re-telling the events of what happened, and again she gets distrought, so the lawyers take turns shaking and slapping her)
Police Academy (The Complete Septalogy)
Real Genius
Tin Men
Caddyshack and Caddyshack II
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Brady Bunch Movie / A Very Brady Sequel ("Put on your Sunday best kids, we're going to Sears")

Nope, I haven't seen it.  Maybe someone will come along that's seen both and can tell us which was worse. ;D


There was one scene in Freddy For Gingered where Tom Green is driving down the road when he sees a dead deer on the road.  So of course, he picks it up, cuts it open and wears it as a coat.  Then he starts running around the road cawing like a chicken, when a truck comes around the corner and hits him  ???

Whilst he is in the hospital, he pretends to be a doctor and helps deliver this woman's baby.  Instead of cutting the umbilical cord, he starts whipping the baby around like a lasso  ???

Some of my favorite  comedies might not be  considered traditional comedies in the sense... but I love dark humor..
These are in  no particular order.. just as I'm remembering them.
1. Freeway (Kiefer Sutherland as a serial killer and Reese Witherspoon as a trailer trash red riding hood with a crack head mother, it's hilarious if you get this kind of humor)
2. Christmas Vacation.. (Randy Quaid..."I'm emptying the sheeshter! "  and those  polyester pants with a v neck sweater and a dickey!!    classic)
3. I'm Gonna Get You Sucka!  (Wayans Bros parody of blaxploitation flicks from the seventies)
4. Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood  (another Wayans Bros parody of "black message" movies)
5. Serial Mom (dont forget to  recycle, wear your seatbelt and NEVER EVER  wear white shoes after Labor Day)
6. Pecker ("Full Of Grace, Full of Grace" another John Waters  classic)
7. Hairspray (Tracy Turnblad.. she rocks.. she's big as a house but she rocks!)
8. Stripes (That's the Facts Jack!)
9. The Royal Tenenbaums (I'm Dying)
10. Wedding Crashers  ("Look what I've Got, Purple Hearts!"  and Wil Ferrell yelling for his mom.. I almost peed)
11. Best In Show (Eugene Levy's 2 left feet..were classic .. )
12. There's Something About Mary  ('she's about a deuce, deuce and a half")
13. A Christmas Story-  I love this one.. I watch this and Christmas Vacation every year..

I never really assocate that with Woody Allen (I know, I know).  When my mother was working in theatre, they did that play with Jack Gilford-so I assocate it with Jack.  ;D ;D ;D  (Don't ever recall seeing the movie-only the play).
