The "Bad News" films by Comic Strip Presents

If anyone's had anything to do with bands, it's spot on





Tony Bond / UncleFista

Love is like a snowmobile, speeding across the frozen tundra.
Which suddenly flips, pinning you underneath.
At night the ice-weasels come...

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"





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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 )

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***.

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

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





If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

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.

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!

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.
