as we enter the festive season
Bad Santa
Have a big soft spot for well-written offbeat (or not so offbeat) comedies, usually full of pathos. A few immediately come to mind. Check out these?
O’Horten (2007) (you have to see it)
O Brother Where Art Though (2000)
Life (1999)
Burn After Reading (2008)
Sideways (2004)
His Girl Friday (1940)
My recommendations are- Zombieland, What we do in the shadows, Dale and Tucker and The hunt for the wilderpeople
enjoy
You’ve probably seen
The Apartment
Napoleon Dynamite
But yes, those.
If you haven't seen it, A Million Ways To Die In The West is absolutely the funniest film you've not seen.
Meet the Parents
Meet the Fockers
We’re the Millers
A Shot in the Dark
The Return of The Pink Panther
The Pink Panther Strikes Again
Tais Toit,
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Planes Trains & Automobiles
Groundhog Day.
White chicks
This is spinal tap
Tropic thunder
I don't care if the first one won a razzle or whatever, it's p*** funny scene after another. Terry crews is well funny
Re tropic thunder, I watched it with a girlfriend who didn't laugh once and kept saying it was silly, it was honestly the beginning of the end of that relationship
In a Weekend at Bernie’s style is Men at Work. Something about two bungling fools trying to make a dead man look alive really tickles me. Men at Work has a Vietnam Vet for added hilarity.
Overnight Delivery just for the scenes with the courier “not on my watch”
Pineapple Express or Idle Hands for a great stoner comedy.
Hunt for the Wilderpeople
Also, following on from death of Stalin
In the loop (Armando ianucci, like a spin off from the thick of it with same actors but different characters plus James gandolfini)
Love trading places
"Best champagne for everybody, courtesy of Billy Ray valentine!"
Life Is Beautiful has to be one of the most tragically funny films, it's an Italian comedy about the holocaust. Although not a film The Brink was an awesome mini series, there was supposed to be a second series but Trump became president and the humour cut a little close to the bone
Can't believe no one has mentioned Swingers!
Also try and get a copy/download of Steve Jacksons first movie - Brain Dead.
Some great shouts!! Seen most of em tho
Gonna go bareback into Tucker and Dale...

Dodgeball
Bridesmaids
+1 swingers, anchorman, best in show
Raising Arizona (possibly)
Some Like it Hot
Life of Brian (Biggus Diccus...)
Naked Gun
Loads of good suggestions - I don't think anyone has suggested the Hangover films yet though. Definitely worth a look.
On that note, Clerks.
It's good, but Clerks 2 actually made me LOL more.
I'm not gonna give anything away, but it's not very subtle or family friendly.
just thought of time bandits and the man with 2 brains (love both films).
Swingers is one of my favourite films but I don't remember it being massively funny.
Did anyone mention Step Brothers?
Ski School. Classic early 90spartyfilmtastic!
Also second Rango. I watched it in utterly bemused joy the other day. SOOOO different to any other ‘kids’ animation film I’ve ever seen. My kids were watching me chuckle more than they watched the film itself. It really tickled me
Bullshot
Booksmart was the funniest I’d seen this year.
Shaun of the Dead. Austin Powers 1&2
It’s all objective but there is some utter sh*te recommendations above.
Bienvenue chez le Ch’tis
Inspector Drake the Movie
It happened one night.
The Apartment.
Some like it hot.
The odd couple.
Sons of the desert.
The producers.
It’s a gift.
A Knights Tale always makes us smile. Great use of music too.
I watched Booksmart! Exactly what I was after, easy watching and properly funny. It’s basically a girl version of Superbad, but actually quite good.
+1 Elf
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
Shaun of the Dead
Hot Fuzz.
Kenny
@choppersquad, I love Fear of a Black Hat. Angry shoes.....
Also going to suggest Repo Man, oh and Duck Soup.
