Your top-ten list of all time funniest movies

Your top-ten list of all time funniest movies

Borrowing an idea from friends on another site and asking the community here what their ideas would be for all time funniest movies ever.

The list that my friends started with was somewhat inspired by seeing Borat once it was released.  Not having seen that movie yet, I can't really comment on whether or not that movie should be on the list or not, but my own list of all time great and funniest movies would be represented below.


Not in any particular order so please don't assume that the numbers are my ranking...

  1. The Blues Brothers (not the "sequel" Blues Brothers 2000 which had decent music but was just a bad movie otherwise)
  2. Airplane (Don't call me Shirley!)
  3. Stripes (Blowned up, Sir!)
  4. Animal House (Toga! Toga! Toga!)
  5. Talladega Nights: The Ballad/Legend of Ricky Bobby
  6. Office Space
  7. South Park: Bigger... (the movie)
  8. Caddyshack
  9. The Jerk
  10. Happy Gilmore

There's some other honorable mentions for me, including Monty Python's Holy Grail, The Naked Gun, Home Alone and a few other movies that were (to me) pretty funny.

Other choices?

and I must give great mention to most of the Pink Panther movies, rarely do I laugh so hard.

My list is biased towards UK comedy (present and past), but I do add in some US sitcom funnies:

1. Fawlty towers.
2. Benny Hill.
3. The Office.
4. Frazier (the very best of the US!)
5. Monty Python.
6. Friends.
7. Little Britain.
8. Billy Connelly.
9. Are you being served?
10. Seinfeld.

This was difficult: I cannot stand "Love and Marriage"or "Tim the Toolman" , if thats the right name.
