Right, been howling through youtube this afternoon at work about best funny film.
What's yours? Mine has got to be..
The Life Of Brian
biggus dickus
There are too many but i think the original Bean movie is quite funny 
No question
"he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!!"
Life of Brian for me too.
I think i may have to see this life of brian movie
Thirded 
However, years ago (cough) always liked 'Ghost of a chance'
also most of the Ealing comedies still make me smile
must be getting old
GeorgeM
lol my mate used to say 'up pompeii' was the greatest comedy film of all time ha ha
i think the question was sprung on him a bit though
holy grail >>>>>> life of brian
airplane is great

For me, it's Blazing Saddles...
...so much bad taste in such a short time!

Old one but one of my best films of all times has to be King Pin.
Haven't see Life of Brian so I can't comment on that

I like Airplane and Blazing saddles too but Brian is a class above
IMHO
(but you know I'm right)
ooh airplane! yeah!
And more recently, "step brothers"
Life of Brian: "Ninety-ff, ninety-ff, ninety-six sir!" Class!
But the choice is wide. Meet The Parents / Fokkers never fails to make me snigger. Little Jack's first words!

Excluding the Pythons, how about...
Shaun of the Dead
Jackass 2
American Pie
Anybody remember Slapshot ?
Slapshot! my god I haven't seen that for years!
Surely 'Spinal Tap' and 'Planes Trains & Automobiles' have to be in with a shout too........ although 'welease
woderwick' does take some beating

I'd have to say Life of Brian would be right up there.
I'd also say that anything with Ben Stiller/Owen Wilson and/or Will Ferrell will almost always be very funny. Just finidhed watching Meet the
Fockers, as it happens.
im looking for life of brian now as ive never seen it
i watched king pin and dumb and dumber this week two very funny films
The "Bad News" films by Comic Strip Presents
If anyone's had anything to do with bands, it's spot on
some class calls their.
monty python (bring out the dead) classic!
O' Brother Where Art Thou with George Clooney always makes me laugh. Great characters and loosely based on Homer's Odyssey. Favourite line,
"You two are dumber than a bag of hammers"
Airplane
No. 1 Life of Brian "What's the Romans done for us"
2. East is East "Mam the Paki's are comin'" ...class
3. Some like it hot
4. All the Ealing Comedies
5. Im alright Jack, The lady Killers, Two way stretch...most Peter Sellers films
top secret also funny
"What have the Romans done for us"
"Brought peace ?"
"*&^% off"
Classic. No contest
[Edited on 26/6/09 by dave-69isit]
Took me a while to find and buy slapshot on DVD (I didn't realise but it just wan't out when I was lookin! )
No-one said "Hangover" - it's not a classicly funny film, but it is packed by stupid one liners that had me snorting all the way
through (NO, not cocaine 
)
ATB
I'll have to be boring and go with the popular Python choice,
"We were led by a star."
"Led by a bottle, more like."
Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are also well worth a watch if anyones not seen them. I don't find Jackass (or Dirty Sanchez) remotely funny
though.
Of the python films I like 'Meaning of Life' as much as the usual suspects, must have a short attention span.
Up Pompeii is very funny if you're into double entendres but you have to be in the mood.
I thought Dodgeball was good.
Anything so long as Jim Carey ISNT in it. He's about as funny as a dose of the clap. If i met him, i think i'd just punch him for being such
an annoying t***.

^^^ errrrr thanks. I have the urge to now through the laptop straight out of the 2nd floor window here!!!!
Sir Henry at Rawlinson End - narrated by Viv Stanshall - Maybe an aquired taste but brilliant
Life of Brian is the top for me
"blessed are the cheesemakers "
"2 Big rocks and a packet of gravel" at the stoning scene is totally class and out of the box thinking,
Also although not a comedy "the commitments" has some great one liners
like
" God sent him?? On a Feckin suzuki"
LOL
Holy Grail, Jungle Burger, Jabberwrocky, Kentucky Fried Movie, Blazing Saddles and Airplane all left a big impression in my teens.
As previously mentioned, 'O Brother Where Art Thou' is among my present day favourites. Very funny and a superb foot stompin'
soundtrack too.
HAROLD AND KUMAR GET THE MUNCHIES
I have one lasting memory of Blazing Saddles - I saw it when it first came out (showing my age) in a cinema in Leicester Square, London with a mate of
mine. We're sitting there in the midst of a typical London audience - 50% white, 25% black, 25% asian.
And what are the words said by the cowboy at the very beginning of the film? "Hey Boy, sing us a n*gger song!"
...I was a bit worried for a while, as you could hear the sharp intake of breath right across the auditorium...
Of course, once Bart started to sing "I get no kick from champagne" then everyone started to get the joke!

Life of brian for me but I guess I will be showing my age here....THE PLANK with if my memory serves me Had Tommy Cooper ,Jimmy Edwards, in it ,I can't remember who else.Totaly silent but hillerious
The Producers --- original version
"Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi party!"

La bella e vita, for something a bit different.

One I had almost forgotten about was Mel Smith's "The Tall Guy" (Jeff Goldbum, Emma thompson, Geraldine James) which has the funniest
sex scene in any movie.

Hi
Surely the Blues Brothers deseves a mention.
Regards Mick
Blues brothers is excellent One of my all time favourite movies.
Dogma is hilarious too, as are most Kevin Smith films
Oh, far too many to list...
Dumb and Dumber stands out though as it always cracks me up, no matter how many times I watch it!
Watched 'In Bruges' the other day... surprisingly good film and very funny!
I like some of the more subtle comedies too... 'O Brother Where Art Though', 'Fargo', 'American Psycho', etc.

'The Big Lebowski' - no guffaws, but never sick of watching it!
Other than that, 'The Producers'....saw the stage show, nowhere near as good as the film, but still great!!
'Twin Town' good also, but I think you either get it or you don't....like Marmite.
I remember cracking up to Jerry Lewis flicks as a kid.....

Anchorman.
The first film I ever saw starring Will Ferrell and the only decent film/performance he's ever been in or done. Don't be put off by the rest
of his rubbish churned out before or since.
So many good bits.
Sex Panther, The Guns, "I'm kind of a big deal", "....if you play your cards right you can meet the whole gang".
The tache, the hair, the blazer.
Its very silly. Best to be in a daft mood when you're watching it. It doesn't try to be clever.
I know Its not a movie but I think this is genius....

Movie wise Blazin Saddles

I have to second Dr Strangelove and suggest Being There.
Donald Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes is a big favorite of mine and very humorous in a certain laid back sort of way IMHO
Meaning of Life is on Sky Channel 309 in 15 mins for all you Python fans on here.
