A few come to mind

Planes Trains and Automobiles

[flying rabbit]

1. Blazing Saddles

and Trekkies.

[clarice]

5. Blazing saddles !!! nt

[raven mad]

11. Blazing Saddles.............absolutely.

I've seen it probably 200 times, and shown it to my daughter, her friends, my granddaughter, HER friends, everyone........ and I still miss some nuance every time.

When I read the OP? First thought was.........

Blazing Saddles. And yes, Clevon Little is probably one of the sexiest men, ever.

[DrDan]

14. Blazing Saddles - 1st one to pop into my mind

[valerief]

2. You picked 3 fabulous choices. And definitely the original Out of Towners, not the horrid remake.

Maybe, also, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. SOB & Arsenic and Old Lace keep me laughing, too.

3. Any Marx Brothers movie

6. Night at the Opera !!!! lol

[Fairgo]

15. I shot an elephant in my pajamas

Yeah you right...Straight up laugh/per minute, Marx Brothers. I'll just throw out "Duck Soup", since Night at the Opera" is taken...Rufus T. Firefly, hurray for Captain Spaulding! Viaduct? Because the Tuscaloosa! I laugh just thinking about that silliness.

[clarice]

4. good ones...

I re-watched the out of towners the other night for the first time in ages.
Almost wet myself when Jack Lemmon was trying to help that kid in the park
and the mounted police man started chasing him.

[Hoppy]

7. Porkys

The scene in the principal's office with Ms. Balbraker.... that alone makes the movie.

34. lol...all i need is this lamp and this......................nt

[True Blue Door]

35. Clerks.

No contest - gotta be Clerks. Kevin Smith made it by maxing out his personal credit cards while he worked in a convenience store, and it changed comedy cinema. There were several moments in it the first time I saw it where I laughed so hard I could barely breathe.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

38. Airplane, Blazing Saddles, The Producers

[Mac1949]

39. OK, this is old, but His Girl Friday...

with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. Also, now that I think of it, Arsenic and Old Lace.

40. hmmmmmm...The Producers...

and Blazing Saddles ....yes indeed..and ...

Arsenic and Old Lace. one more, but not a full length film, "Fast and Furry-ous"

0h 7m - Short Film/Adventure

Storyline

In their first appearance in a Warner Bros. cartoon, the Coyote (Carnivorous vulgaris) and The Road Runner (Accelerati incredibulis) launch their neverending series of chases through the desert, and The Coyote begins his relationship with the Acme Corporation in his quest for the perfect Road Runner-catching device. Written by Paul Penna <[e-mail]>


"The very first cartoon in Warner Bros. popular Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner series of cartoons. This one has the Coyote chasing the Roadrunner using a rather ingenious invention combining a fridge, a meat grinder, ice cubes, and skis."

The above is one of the greatest gags ever..I laugh just thinking about that one..........

[SunSeeker]

And another John Belushi classic: 1941.
