Comedies!

[Lisa]

On our Google Hangout chat today, one of the many topics we discussed was a funny movies that we liked. I have made a list of the ones we mentioned for those times when we need a laugh! If you guys have more to suggest, add them here!

Up
The Three Amigos
Burn Before Reading
A Mighty Wind
Waiting for Gupton
Best In Show
Zoolander
We Are the Millers
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
What We Did On Our Holiday
Carnage (that was the Jodie Foster movie I spoke about on the chat about the parents discussing their kids' playground altercation)

 

[Jacqui-S]

Wow! You remembered them all!

 

[Cath]

The First Wives club

Not a film but makes me laugh. An Audience with Ken Dodd

 

[Lab_adore]

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - makes me laugh every time I watch it. Especially when Steve Martin plays Ruprecht

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

Two oldies but goodies:
Death Becomes Her
She Devil (US version with Meryl Streep)

A couple of all-time faves if you don't mind subtitles:
Pane e Tulipani (Bread and Tulips): An age-appropriate slightly wacky rom-com set in Venice, happy ending guaranteed
Bienvenue Chez les Ch'tis (Welcome to the Sticks): Post office functionary from the Cote d'Azur gets banished to the frozen North (of France)

 

[Cupcase]

The Money Pit with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long.

 

[Atemas]

Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers

 

[Joy]

On You Tube for one week only (so only today and tomorrow left) is the National Theatre's 'One man, two guvnors'. It made me laugh out loud.

 

[Lab_adore]

Steve's is (and me too) 'A fish called Wanda'.

We Are the Millers

We're the Millers had me an J in fits. We watched it on my iPad on the packed ferry from Milos to Athens, with headphones. At one part, J burst out squealing with laughter so loudly, totally forgetting where he was and that no-one else was watching the movie. That set me off. Everyone thought we were nutters

Oh my goodness, me too. I know it isn't PC in the slightest, but I give it a pass as it makes fun of EVERYONE. To me it's the comedy version of mac and cheese: pure comfort food!

[Jen]

I still laugh everytime!

Love Ruprecht, and Michael Palin trying to kill that little old lady in Fish Called Wanda, one dog at a time
My favourite comedy has to be 'Life of Brian' though. Every bit of that is funny and very clever, controversial but I wet myself laughing in the cinema when it came out

Anyone seen Mindhorn?
