Mary Poppins - yes, I said Mary Poppins

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas

Batman, the movie, 1965

Shrek

Duck Soup

Snatch

"most funniest "? What kind of English is that? Are you Chief Moose, who suddenly seems to have a lot of free time lately? [:D]

At any rate: all time "most funniest" movies that come to mind, by no means complete, in no particular order (my fave is at the bottom though):

Any Monty Python film.

The Blues Brothers. (Makes a lot more sense in German..."Wir sind im Auftrag des Herrn unterwegs" = We're on a mission from God [:)])

The British "Carry On...." series (Carry on Camping, etc)

Blazing Saddles.

The Lavender Hill Mob. (Any Alec Guinness comedy, really- he was a very funny actor, but so little of his humor was evident in his later movies...)

Whisky Galore.

Space Quest.

The Producers(1968)!

I know its probably not to everyone's tastes here, but I thought the original "FRIDAY" was one of the funniest damn movies ever.

Memorable quotes:

Craig:   [opens door to early morning knocking]  "Whassup?"
Old Lady:  "Have you prepared for Jehova's return? Becuause if you haven't ...."
Criag:  [slams door]
Old Lady:   "Well, F$*K YOU, half dead motherf$*ker!"

Smokie:   "You got knocked the F$*K out!  

Craig's Dad:  "Boy, get your a$$ up on in here.  I smelled your $hit for 22 years, now you can smell mine for 5 minutes."

Craig's Dad:  "Don't nobody go in the bathroom for 'bout 35, 45 minutes.  Open a window."

Criag & Smokie:   "Daaaaaammmmmmmnnnnnn!"

Preacher (Bernie Mac):   "The lord is my shepherd, he KNOWS what I want..."

Smokie:   "I'd knock the DUST off that [_meow_]...

Hillarious, and yet somewhere there's a message burried in there.  I think.  Or maybe not.

"The Brain".  Starring David Niven.
I saw this movie in the late 1960's or early 1970’s.  At one point I was laughing so hard I fell out of my seat in the theater.  You don’t get much funnier.

In no particular order, worth seeing again:

Laurel & Hardy films (particularly Sons of the Desert)

A Fish Named Wanda

Arsenic and Old Lace (also great to see performed live!)

It's a Mad Mad etc World

The "St. Trinians" series with Terry Thomas

Monty Python films

edited to spell Python correctly

King of Hearts (French, subtitled)

Maverick (the movie)
Pulp Fiction
Dumb and Dumber
Tommy Boy
Hot Shots (and the second one)
Ntl Lampoons Loaded Weapon 1
Top Secret

All those are probably a direct result of my general "state of mind" at the time those came out/I watched them. Especially Maverick... I was in tears, literally, for the whole movie. Now I still crack up watching that show, even tho nobody else seems to find it as funny as I do.

Only other movie I can think of off the top of my head that isn't in that timeframe is Monty Python & Holy Grail. Nothing really newer has quite had the same result... (sobriety for the past 6+ years probably has something to do with it).

My top 3...

3. Blazing Saddles

2. Animal House (not the censored version they run on TV where half of the funny crap is cut out)

1. Something about Mary. I laugh so hard every time, I start choking, really.

ps, I notice all have different lists, but some of my favorite movies seem to come up more often.
