Funniest movie of all time. - Page 9

The Odd Couple of 1969 with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.

I think it would be "Shakiest Gun in the West" with Don Knotts.

From school days "Holy Grail"

Later "Naked Gun" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"

From my time as a cop the awesome "Super Troopers" (a documentary!)




Frank Drebin is emptying out his files after being kicked off the force]
Frank: Hey! The missing evidence in the Kelner case! My God, he really was innocent!
Ed: He went to the chair two years ago, Frank.
Frank: Well, uh...
[Frank Drebin quickly shoves the evidence back into the file cabinet]

And my all time favorite-

"Doctors say that Nordberg has a 50 - 50 chance of living, though there's only a 10 percent chance of that."


I bastardize this line every time someone quotes me odds. Mrs Nonk does the same.


Anyone seen the Old Fry & Laurie sketch about the Open University blooper from 1973? Same idea.

Here is a treat, although I don't know if the non UK based members will get the cultural reference about the OU.

Cocktail.
So bad, bad, bad it was funny.

For me, the top three:

SOB, from Blake Edwards
Arthur
Young Frankenstein

top secret

This is pretty remarkable, if you think about it. How many different kinds of "funniest movie ever" there are. The Gods Must Be Crazy, while a fine film, wouldn't even crack my top 50... Don Knotts and the Marx Brothers movies either, and thats assuming that I could think of that many comedies right off the top of my head. I never really thought Monty Python movies were that funny either. As far as British Comedy goes, I thought that Red Dwarf was much more entertaining. Maybe I'm just not old-school enough.
