Can you reccommend a newer funny movie?

[bif]

I need something to laugh at that's out on DVD or video. I mean, real funny.

[Bjornsdotter]

1. Dogma...

...not that new, but funny.

Cheers,
Kim :toast:

[bif]

2. I loved Dogma

Outrageously funny.

[wryter2000]

12. I third that

If you haven't seen Dogma, rent it. Even my husband laughed his ass off, and he doesn't like anything except sports.

[7th_Sephiroth]

58. Shrek 2

G.B. Man "well, lie then pinnocchio, say you are wearing womens underwear"
Pinnocchio "uhhhh"
G.B. Man "hurry up i'm running out of time"
Pinnocchio "i AM wearing womens underwear, a red thong"

[underpants]

3. Bad Santa is funny

in a way. Bubba Ho-Tep looks to be very funny but I still haven't seen it.

[Tempest]

5. Bubba Ho-Tep

You have to be a BIG Bruce Campbell fan to like this turkey.

I am, but still didn't like it.

[Tempest]

4. Why newer?

There's a lot of older comedies that make the newer ones look pathetic.

Gross Pointe Blank
Return To Me
Lost In Translation (okay, newer but still great)
Punch Drunk Love (okay, so I'm an Adam Sandler fan)
Duck Soup
Animal House
Young Frankenstein
The Royal Tennebaums
Barbershop
Better Off Dead

[bif]

7. Newer because i've seen most of the older ones.

[Tempest]

16. Go to the video store and cruise the comedy section

I'm always finding movies I've never seen that way.

And most times I find gems no one else has heard of or seen.

[MsUnderstood]

6. Eulogy is out in theaters (maybe)

And it was the FUNNIEST THING I've seen all year. 4 siblings gather to bury their dad. Oldest Sister is a "conservative moralist", Older Brother is a chauvanist, Younger brother is a childhood TV star (now in porn), and youngest is a feminst lesbian. . .

Great humor if you don't mind pot use and homosexual themes

[niwi]

63. ha!

Mind it? I require it!

[rock]

8. "White Chicks"

Predictable. Funny.

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. Might have something on my entertainment page you haven't

seen yet, but I doubt it. You sound like a real movie fan!

18. Big movie buff

When I first dated my wife and after we got married we'd see a couple movies every weekend. A lot of foreign and Indie movies at the local "Art" film theaters. These days, we're a bit more selective and mainly rent movies. I'll check out your site. Thanks.

[sundog]

10. Get Margaret Cho's "I'm the One That I Want"

from 2000 I think... haven't laughed as much at anything in a long, long time

[Tempest]

17. She's got a new one out

It's also supposed to be funny as hell.

[Bertha Venation]

11. Finding Nemo. Not kidding.

Happy laughing, bif. :hug:

[ET Awful]

19. I agree completely :)

Ellen's character was hilarious :)

I also love Shrek and Shrek 2.

[Bertha Venation]

22. "just keep swimming... just keep swimming... just keep swimming..."

;)

[ET Awful]

27. P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney. P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney

P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney
P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney
P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney

[Bertha Venation]

29. . . . can I help you?

my fave

that and "I speak whale."

[ET Awful]

36. Every time I see her speaking whale, I crack up

and when Marlin does it and she just pipes up with "I wish I could speak whale".

I love that movie :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. I second that...or third it.

:hi:

[Ladyhawk]

52. Good pick. I love CG animation. I think I'm programmed to love it. nt

[Flaxbee]

13. ok, it's sappy, but "Love, Actually"

had some good laughs, and a nice scene were Hugh Grant as Prime Minister rips the US Pres. a new one during a news conference...

I also liked "About a Boy", also w/Hugh Grant, but honestly, it's coincidental....

[spatlese]

44. I loved 'Love Actually'! n/t

[the Princess]

14. Have you seen the Three Amigos???

It's the funniest movie ever made!

[bif]

24. Saw it a loooong time ago

And actually, considering the cast, I thought it would be funnier.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

15. On November 16

Elf comes out on DVD. If that doesn't make you laugh and feel good, NOTHING WILL.

[EstimatedProphet]

20. Kung Pow!

If you like silly humor, this is the pinnacle

[bif]

21. I like dumb like Wayne's World and Spinal Tap

But there's a fine line between brilliant and stupid.

[redqueen]

25. Aww I like Kung Pow!

How about Mystery Men... seen that one?

How about Galaxy Quest?

[EstimatedProphet]

30. Spinal Tap was good, Wayne's World was lame

Is that what you meant by brilliant versus stupid?
Kung Pow has a lot more going for it than people give it credit.

[bif]

32. No. Humor. It's a funny thing.

I thought Wayne's World was stupid. But it made me laugh a lot. But most dumb humor escapes me. Like "Dumb and Dumber"

[EstimatedProphet]

35. I agree there

Dumb and dumber lost me, as did Ace Ventura.

[FunBobbyMucha]

23. Team America.

Though I'm afraid I might not find it as funny now as I did during the election. The jingoistic sarcasm is probably lost on the Freepers.

South Park, Bigger, Longer, and Uncut is still one of my top five "when I need a laugh" movies, though. Rent that.

"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is my favorite film of the year, funny but also poignant, and given this week, the notion of having huge chunks of my memory erased sounds heavenly.

Saved! is funny as hell, but see above Team America qualifier.

I've still never seen Harold and Maude, despite a friend's 20-year insistence. I think I'm gonna watch it tonight after I take my son to the Incredibles.

[DrWeird]

28. Napolean Dynamite.

Personally, I thought it was great.

[minkyboodle]

43. Heck yes it was!!!

Napoleon is great cause he does whatever he feels like... GOSH!!
pretty sweet movie

[warrens]

31. Saved

Girl: What's a good Christian girl doing in a planned parenthood clinic?

Mccauley Culkin: Planting a pipe bomb?

[realisticphish]

38. ok, two reasons

what are you going as?
a roller skate

i love that movie

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

41. I recommend this one too.

It was comical.

[greyfox]

59. I just bought it

and it was really good. I have LIVED a lot of that and it really drives home a point while still being funny!

[liontamer]

33. not another teen movie

or bring it on

[pantouflard]

34. Several recommendations...

My favorite from the past coupla years: Auberge Espanol. Funny!

Monsoon Wedding.

I second Spinal Tap, or anything by Chris Guest.

Not new, but I can see The Holy Grail over and over and still laugh. Call me "easily amused..."

[FunBobbyMucha]

37. Oh, fuck do we need a new Chris Guest movie!

I wish we'd known to request he make one.

I'm taking the fam to a harvest festival that is advertising, among other things, "lasso demos!" and all I can think of is the Basset Hound's owner entertaining seniors at the end of "Best in Show."

[klook]

55. Monsoon Wedding is one of my all-time favorites

I love the character P.K. Dubey, brilliantly played by Vijay Raaz. He's alternately hilarious and poignant. Funniest moment for me was when he's bragging about being a with-it guy up on all the latest technology: "Millenium style, Y2K dot!" Most poignant: When he brings Alice the marigold heart!

And the soundtrack is fabulous--I especially love the Sukhwinder Singh theme, "Today My Heart Desires."

[Lydia Leftcoast]

60. And speaking of Asian weddings: A Wedding Banquet

Ang Lee's first American film, the story of a Taiwanese immigrant whose parents back in Taiwan are pressuring him to get married. The only trouble is, he's already living with an American...man. He decides to enter into an on-paper marriage with a Chinese woman, both to please his parents and to secure her immigration status, but then the parents decide to come to the States for the wedding. Oops!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

39. Being John Malkovich

if you haven't already seen it. It's not really a new movie.

[GumboYaYa]

62. Good call.

THat was on TV the other night.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

40. Stealing Havard

was way funnier than I expected.

[Kid_A]

42. "Anchorman" is the funnest movie I've seen in a loooooong time...

It's isn't out on DVD yet, but you might be able to get a pirated copy if you really apply yourself.

But here are my favorite comedies:

Ghostbusters
The Princess Bride
This Is Spinal Tap
South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut
Blazing Saddles
Pee Wee's Big Adventure
Dumb & Dumber
Men In Black
Saved!
Office Space

Any of those should turn your frown upside-down.:) Or better yet, rent 'em all and laugh your ass off all weekend!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

46. Anchorman isn't out on DVD yet, is it?

[Kid_A]

48. I think it comes out the week between Christmas and New Year's.

A really bad move on the studio's part. That DVD would have sold like crazy for the holidays.

[progressiveBadger]

45. Without a paddle

[Mallifica]

47. Rat Race

the whole movie isn't that great, but there are a couple of scenes that make it worth-while

[Ladyhawk]

50. More than a couple. It's a good one for belly laughs. nt

[TheMightyFavog]

49. Super Troopers!

Funniest. Movie. Ever.

[Ladyhawk]

51. I enjoyed "Shark Tale."

I think I'm programmed to like CG animation or something, although Shrek is among my least favorite of the genre. :shrug: My favorite is Monsters, Inc.

[Spirochete]

53. Brain Donors

just came out on DVD. It's pretty funny.

[klook]

54. Intolerable Cruelty

Coen Bros. movie about a high-powered divorce lawyer (George Clooney) who falls for a beautiful femme fatale (Catherine Zeta-Jones) who marries and divorces one rich husband after another. The dialogue is witty as hell, the cinematography is creative, and the acting is snappy and funny. I laughed my head off.

[flygal]

56. ELECTION!!!

sorry ;)

[Emops]

57. "O Brother Where Art Thou?"

That's one of my favorite movies.

[Chovexani]

64. I love that movie!

"Who made the color guard colored?!" :D

[japple]

61. Happy, Texas

The Opposite of Sex
Raising Arizona
Best in Show
Withnail & I

[Chovexani]

65. An '80s movie that's still hilarious

Hollywood Shuffle. I got it in the cheap bin at Best Buy, it's been one of my favorite movies for a long time. It's Robert Townsend's first movie, where he plays a black actor struggling to make it in Hollywood. The skits are hilarious and the movie itself is like a who's who of black comic actors. Damon & Keenan Ivory Wayans are in it (you know the FUNNY Wayans), and loads of other folks.

My favorite bit is the black acting school...LOL. And ho-cakes. "Hos gotta eat too!"
