I think the most quoteable comedy/ drama is Forrest Gump.

Because he's from Greenbow ALABAMA!

Has anyone ever seen Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstien"? Roll, Roll, Roll in the hay!!!

Classic Mel Brooks.

I'm also a fan of any Leslie Neilson movie.

Honor is definitely DUE to Peter Sellers and the Pink Panther Strikes Again!

Excuse me, does your dog bite? No ( comes the response) ( Clouseau bends down to pet the dog and gets bit)
I thought you told me your dog does not bite. (response) Thats not my dog... whowhooooooooo

Being at school forces a person to miss a thread like this! Damn. I'll give you some of my favorites. I could probably quote at least once from each one. I'll just give you one quote.

Blazing Saddles
Airplane
Blues Brothers
The Naked Gun
Major League-Bob Uecker as Harry Doyle is the best ever!
"Let's see, the Indians got one run off of one hit. That's all we got, one god damn hit?"
Major League II-just because of Bob Uecker
Billy Madison
Happy Gilmore
Almost Heroes
Canadian Bacon (John Candy's last movie)

"And they say that in Paris, France, as we speak, Louis Pasteur is developing a vaccine that will cure Antrax for once and for all" Blazing Saddles

I didn't get this joke until recently!

I was just flipping channels and landed on "There's Something About Mary" I only watched about two minutes until they started editing out everything but this was one of the best comedies ever.

"What about Brett Fav...ruh?"

Ted: "I still want to look her up."
Pat Healy: "Who, rollerpig? Are you nuts?"
Ted: "You said she was a real sparkplug."
Pat Healy: "No, I said buttplug. She's heinous."

That scene is one of the funniest in all of film. A Shot in the Dark and Return of the Pink Panther are also right up there on my list.

The movie I laughed at the hardest was Dumb and Dumber. It's still funny to me, but I wish I could somehow see that movie for the first time again! I laughed tears through the whole thing. Ironically, other folks in the theater including a couple that went with us barely cracked a grin and thought it was so stupid. It's amazing how different people's senses of humor can be.

Other favorites
Blazing Saddles
Napolean Dynamite
There's Something About Mary
Office Space
Zoolander

Most of my favorites have been mentioned, but really surprised at no one mentioning Old School yet. Definately one of my favorites from recent comedies.

"You're my boy, Blue!"

Another thread just reminded me of a classic we've all missed...Johnny Dangerously

Along came Polly...
Maybe not the funniest, but I just watched it again and laughed my ass off at "I just sharted"

Bleedinbluengold · Post by **Bleedinbluengold** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 1:05 pm

So I'm flippin' channels last night and on AMC ---- Animal House. It was just about right for my 12-yr old to giggle a bunch. Another year, and he'll be ROFLHAO!

For a family comedy, try School of Rock.

Some of mine (I think most were mentioned)

- Airplane
- Anchorman
- Something About Mary

I've watched 40 year old virgin twice now, and it seems to get funnier, some of the one liners and built-up jokes are kind of growing on me. "You look like a man o' lantern."
