MOVIE FANS!... I have a question...

[battleknight24]

I just saw the movie "If I Stay". I liked it, but it was a real downer. I need to be cheered up a little.

Can you all recommend a really, really, REALLY funny movie to watch on amazon.com? Actually...

1. Can you recommend a really funny movie, or...

2. Recommend a movie that is so bad, it's good?

1. Really funny:

So bad, it's good: Plan 9 From outer Space.

15. A friend of mine and I saw that

in the theater by accident.

We went into the wrong theater after planning to see something else, when it started we were going to leave but decided "what the hell a documentary might be cool"...the first couple of minutes made us think it was a documentary for some reason...then the coke bottle hit the ground and we started laughing.

It's been one of my favorites ever since.

7. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is free on Amazon Prime

Two affable rednecks are mistaken for serial killers by a group of camping college kids. Hijinks ensue.

It IS gory (one guy falls into a wood chipper), but in a completely over-the-top, cartoony way. It is the first movie I have seen in years that made me laugh so hard, I cried. I look forward to a sequel.
