Speaking of Sacha Baron Cohen... I watched the Brothers Grimsby the other night and I was laughing so hard in this scene I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Its pretty crude and juvenile but I like that kind of humour.

Pretty much what you'd expect from SBC... but if you like American Pie and boyish humour that most females wouldn't appreciate then it's worth a watch after a few beers.

Airplane was quite funny at the time though I don’t think it’s aged well. I never got the fuss over it at all, even at the time. One of those I filed in the anything Eddie Murphy ever did pile. Later on add Adam Sandler to that list.

Only two good things about trading Places There was a similar style actor who had a part in The Fifth Element. Cool enough film but have to fast forward through his scene whatever his name is .

Can't believe that nobody's mentioned This Is Spinal Tap yet.
Anyway, some others to add to the list:
Little Miss Sunshine Eagle vs Shark In The Loop The Death of Stalin Best In Show Cock and Bull Story 24 Hour Party People Burn After Reading The Other Guys

Later on add Adam Sandler to that list. I don't think Sandler is too bad. I quite like 'Don't mess with the Zohan' and i just rewatched Happy Gilmore yesterday with the kids (due to this thread). Likewise, Ben Stiller in Zoolander is good, as are some parts of Tropic Thunder. Some other decent comedies not mentioned are We're the Millers, Horrible Bosses and 21/22 Jump Street.

No shout yet for Restless Natives or Gregory's Girl.Two great Scottish films.
2 from my teens. The policeman in the shop scene in Restless Natives I loved
A mention for Quick Change also. One of Bill Murray's more forgotten gems.
Found it but not great quality

Not a comedy per se but fucking hilarious Twin Town I'd say it was a comedy, you're right, it's hilarious. There's a sequel too, haven't seen it yet, La Cha Cha, out last year.

Also how has the ubiquitous American Pie not got a mention (I know it's repeated to death). Stiffler is a legend. For anyone who likes Seann William Scott, Goon is a really good comedy film, based on a real person, an Ice Hockey player who is the teams 'enforcer'. Basically he is the guy who starts all the fights on the rink.

He is actually a really good comedic actor, he plays a slightly different role in these films, more of a naive character than a complete idiot.

Meet The Feebles
Early Peter Jackson seem to remember. Oddly had a midnight showing in Hanley went to see. Had been around a while but for some reason they showed although for a while they did the late night horror double bills (Hellraiser/Omen) etc then this. Were great .
