Poll question: The Most Knee Slapping Hilarious Movie
A movie that are so f***ing funny, it has you rolling on the floor.

I'm going with the Farelly Bros. 'Kingin' - I was dying.

11. Yes, it was damn funny
I had to go with Monty Python, but you're right, Dirty Work was very funny.

21. Other
At 50, I'm assuming I'm older than most here but I've never failed to enjoy a Bob Hope movie where he cuts himself down before trying to embarrass anyone else.

Some people "just" can't do that and get away with it.

31. Don't Be A Menace
It's probably the funniest movie I've seen in the past 10 years. The Wayans Brothers really outdo themselves in this parody of 'hood movies.

The recent Steve Martin/Queen Latifah movie Bringin' Down the House is pretty hilarious, too. And I always got a kick from The Graduate.

Do yourself a favor, and watch the DVD with the commentary ON, it adds a whole new level of brilliance to an already brilliant film.

Also Best In Show and A Mighty Wind are howlingly funny.

Without a doubt. I'd have to put The Blues Brothers a real close second, but I don't think I have ever laughed harder at a movie than I did the first time I saw Blazing Saddles. The way he pokes fun at racism and racists is priceless.

71. I once got thrown out of a theater for laughing
very loudly and raucously with my friends during the movie "The 7 Faces Of Dr. Lau", for making fun of Tony Randall trying to play a serious role. I think a few Thai Sticks might have impaired our ability to realize that we weren't watching a comedy.

No, I'm not joking....and don't call me Shirley!


Yes, I selected "Airplane" :7


I just love when that guy is getting ready to drink the whiskey (I believe that's what it is) and he offers it to the old lady across the aisle. She says "certainly not" in this haughty tone and proceeds to do a line of cocaine...:P


.....and then the s*it hits the fan....literally....


There is so much in that movie you just *have* to love.
