1990s Comedies

[Ojb81]

Trading Places was pretty funny

I’d add Breakfast Club and Major League to the 80s.

You shouldn't. That movie sucks...hard.

I tried watching the movie once. About 15 minutes in, I was bored to tears and turned it off. Thanks to that shit movie, that's 15 minutes of my life I completely wasted.

It the best of all the Hughes movies. By a pretty good margin.

I don't know about that. There were some damn good comedies in the 2000's

The Hangover
Bridesmaids
Wedding Crashers
Anchorman
Talladega Nights
Super Troopers
Napoleon Dynamite
Pootie Tang

You forgot Hot Tub Time Machine

One thing this thread demonstrates is that comedy is very subjective.

If I had never seen Evil Bong 2, I might consider Hot Tub Time Machine to be the lamest movie I ever watched.

Looking through my collection, here are some classic old comedies, grouped by decade:

1930
Modern Times - must see for anyone who has worked in a factory.
Bringing Up Baby
I have a few Marx Brothers, but they don't stand out to me as being exceptionally funny.

1940
My Little Chickadee - the team of Fields/West is a major improvement over Fields solo stuff.
Tales of Manhattan
The Major and the Minor
Arsenic and Old Lace
Monsieur Beaucaire - my favorite Bob Hope of this era. Lots of his older stuff is pretty good.

1950
Bedtime for Bonzo
Monkey Business - with Grant/Rodgers/Monroe. Marx Brothers was made in 1931.
Abbott and Costello Go to Mars
Some Like It Hot
The Mouse That Roared
A Bucket of Blood

1960
The Apartment
Who Was that Lady?
The Road to Hong Kong - last of the Hope/Crosby "road" series, with Joan Collins
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World - cast reads like a who's who of comedy
The Pink Panther
A Shot in the Dark - arguably funnier than Pink Panther
Dr. Strangelove
Our Man Flint - only Bond spoof actually worth watching
I Love You, Alice B. Toklias - might be my favorite Peter Sellers

Black Sheep > Tommy Boy

 

[TheDayMan]

Almost Heroes is underrated too.

You forgot Hot Tub Time Machine

High Fidelity should be on that list too

 

[Macho Grande]

Anyone remember a movie titled Hollywood Knights. I remember watching it when I first got cable. I always thought it was hilarious. Early 80s maybe

 

[Roy Munson]

Napoleon Dynamite

sucked

 

[BigFin]

Ace Ventura

 

[Ojb81]

Ace Ventura

ace ventura 2 was better. the scene where he has to escape the robotic rhinoceros via it's asshole opening, is one of the funniest moments in carey's career

 

[SDGuy73]

The Hangover
Bridesmaids
Wedding Crashers
Anchorman
Talladega Nights
Super Troopers
Napoleon Dynamite
Pootie Tang

Only two of those I found funny.

Supertroopers was the best movie on that list, IMO

 

[Judge Fudge]

Austin Powers was one of the best series but they burned it to the ground

 

[Blackshirts BLVD]

It the best of all the Hughes movies. By a pretty good margin.

Perhaps I have seen it too many times, but I think it is overrated. I don't dislike it, but I don't think its as much of a classic as many others do.

Black Sheep > Tommy Boy
