Best comedy film ever? Page 4

I think so, but as I have a 10-minute memory after I've watch a film (or done any sort of work!), I can't really remember!

Dan

I get the impression that I should watch this movie?

Or just watch with a blank stare, not getting it at all...

Dan

That film sounded like I should love it, and all the people who told me it was great had exactly my taste in films. And then I watched it and I hated it.

I think I would have to go for either Ghostbusters or Shaun of the Dead.

Nice avatar!

And good choices.

I agree with the Murray over Mcdowell comments, that's why I would choose Caddyshack over Groundhog Day anyday.

Re: Napoleon Dynamite -- I watched it with girlfriend, housemate and housemate's girlfriend. I was the only one laughing and everyone else was looking at me funny. It is *very* dry (like The Weatherman with Nic Cage -- another very, very funny film that yielded similar results from the missus).

Then I leant it to a mate. I got a text saying 'What the f**k is this Napoleon Dynamite?!?'

It is an acquired taste...

I like dry humour, but Napoleon Dynamite didn't do anything for me. I found it very obvious, like most American comedies.

Also I hated Shaun of the Dead. And in recent times I've switched off half way through TV showings of the Carry Ons, Bless This House etc.

I vote for Withnail & I, which you can watch a billion times and still find funny.

Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m6LhZJdCQY

Marvellous. Sublime, in fact.

Yeah, Napoleon Dynamite is brilliant. Some of the things I remember laughing at most, are the way he said "Gosh!" all the time, the scene where he was feeding the llama, the lie he told about wolverines, and that scene where he climbed over the fence, and fell over the other side.

I've never seen Napoleon Dynamite - nicked the title off Elvis Costello - or Withnail & I.

Shouldn't that be smartest cardigan?

Stop reposting that picture! She's horrendous: she ruins every film she's in; even Green Card and that was bad to begin with.

Back on topic, I forgot Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
(BTW, has anyone seen Spamalot? Did you think it was 'meh'?)

(Yes on both.)

Which picture?

Don't you think she's worth it?
