What kinds of funny films?

Dark Humour: Fight Club, which manages to take the piss out of itself. I like satirical types of films. The whole film reminds me of this scene in the Life of Brian.

“Brian: You’re all individuals!
Crowd: Yes! We’re all individuals!
Brian: You’ve all got to think for yourselves!
Crowd: Yes! We’ve all got to think for ourselves!
Crowd: Tell us more!”

It’s a total cliche but when it finished with the Pixies “Where is my mind” I had a maniacal grin on my face. It’s completely twisted in a way I adore.

Silly Humour: The Inbetweeners

For all out greatness: Monty Pythons The Life of Brian and M*A*S*H (film)

+1 – great choice

Kind Hearts and Coronets.

Steve Martin 80s stuff but ages since I’ve seen any.

Team America
South Park The Movie
Airplane

Dodgeball

The first hour or so of ‘Old School’ is genius

I do really enjoy the Coen Bros stuff also

The Italian Job
Ferris Bueller’s Day off

Watched Animal House for the first time in years recently. Very juvenile, but very funny.

More votes for Groundhog Day and Life of Brian. It’s amazing how LOB could be so fantastic, and Holy Grail/Meaning of Life so rubbish in comparison.

All the Austin Powers films were quite amusing

See no Evil, Hear no Evil.

+1 and stir crazy
Nobody mentioned blazing saddles?

Yeah Stir Crazy is another great film.

Howled at the Austin Powers scene where he is in the tent having things removed from his behind in silhouette. Not keen on the rest of the films though.

Blues Brothers.
