Your all time favorite comedies?

[CountryGent]

I am looking to add some comedies to the old Netflix and similar accounts, so figured I'd throw this out there for discussion: what are some of you all time favorite comedies? And why? It can be from any era or type of comedy.

Enjoy!

[Hop Sing]

The best movie ever: Blazing Saddles! It was just on TCM last night.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Buck Privates
Top Secret
Young Frankenstein
Get Smart
Kelly's Heroes ( more of a satire than true comedy )
Oh yeah ... How could I forget The Big Lebowski .... DUDE!
Andy

 

[TeacherSmurf]

Spaceballs: The Movie-I am a huge Star Wars fan. Mix that with Mel Brooks humor and you get a winner.
The Princess Bride-great lines.
The Wedding Singer (1998)-Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler are a good combination and add a ton of 80's references.
Farris Beuller's Day Off-I'm a middle school and high school teacher.

 

[Vendor Hidden]

I've got a soft spot in my heart for Groundhog Day.

Other favorite comedies (I have no idea if these are on Netflix):

• Gross Pointe Blank
• The Inlaws (the old one with Peter Falk)
• So I Married an Axe Murderer (two reasons to like this film: 1. Mike Myers' Scottish dad impression, and 2. Phil Hartman as the prison guard/tour guide).
• Analyze This
• Shaun of the Dead (zombie comedy)
• American Sweethearts
• The Princess Bride
• Silverado (yeah it's a Western but it has lots of comedic elements.)
• Bull Durham

So, while I know you're asking for comedy movies specifically, if you want to laugh, check out Bill Burr's latest special. Dude cracks me up.
