1- Mars Attack
2- A fish called Wanda
3- Roger Rabbit
4- La cage aux Folles  (the original French movie)
5-Rabbi Jacob Whit Louis De funes

Tell me if my list of movie are funny, I like to point out americans  did a flop whit '' La Cage aux Folles'' whit there americans version, here my point what make it  that funny in the original is one of the two gay is masculine the other one feminine, americans did not understand the idea and put two super feminine gays this is not like the original idea.

What are your funniest movie ever you laught until your ribs hurts, Mars Attack was my all time favorite movie I never laugh so loud I almost died I magine , me the boy laughing for 10 full minutes I almost collapse.

1. Casablanca (Yes, it's not really a comedy, that doesn't change that it's often extremely funny)
2. Dr. Strangelove
3. There's something about Mary
4. Any of the 3 Austin Powers films
5. Die Hard With a Vengeance (action film rather than comedy but freaking hilarious)

That's my list for today. It may change.

I think the remake of La cage aux folles is decent and Robin Williams is not effeminate, so I don't quite understand this complaint. Although I agree that the original is superior the differences I recall as more subtle. I wonder if with the strongly changed attitudes toward gayness these films work nowadays at all.

I don't rewatch movies that frequently, so I don't know how I would react to Naked Gun or Roger Rabbit (because at a similar time as a teenager I also found Police Academy funny...). Louis de Funes was really popular as well but I recall some as very silly and have not seen them in ages. I also liked Fish called Wanda but Life of Brian or Holy Grail I found too silly.

Modern Times
Arsenic and old lace
Some like it hot
One, two, three
Snatch (although I haven't seen this in 20 years either, maybe the late 1990s comedies aged as badly as the ones from the 80s) I think I like the top 4 anytime I caught them again on TV and there are many more candidates but see above.

The Closeau movies
Dumb and dumber
Some like it hot
Naned Gun (The first one is probably the best)

I like The Birdcage a lot.

I like The Birdcage a lot.

The French and American films have different strengths and weaknesses, but the differences often boil down to one was a French movie of the late 70s and the other an American film of the mid 90s.

Je comprends.

Play it again Sam and What's up Doc are inspired choices for very funny movies I haven't  seen for 40 years and totally forgotten about.

Talking about oldies, another one is It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

[André Le Nôtre]

Obscure as hell, unavailable anywhere, unheard of except by me and maybe two or three Québécois: Keep It In the Family. Cult comedy from the 1970s. Wish I could find it to stream or on DVD!
