After my "Top 5 Favorite/Least Favorite Movies" thread, I though I'd ask the question of: What are your Top 5 favorite comedy movies? (Again you may choose a series/trilogy of movies as a single choice & You aren't limited to 5 you may have more if you wish) Here's Mine, In no order (There's 7 in total) - American Pie (Series)
- Happy Gilmore
- Billy Madison
- Zombieland
- Superbad
- Funny People (Dramedy)
- Pineapple Express
Probably some that I'm missing, Most of my DVD collection is made up of comedy movies  |

I'm not much on comedy movies though I did enjoy Wayne's World as well as Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. Oh! and I really like Forrest Gump too.

YES! Sharknado Austin Powers: Goldmember Scary Movie Step Brothers Scream (Suspensedy)
I was actually going to add scream instead of Get him to the greek, but I don't know if it counts because I don't know if it's technically a comedy or not. Get him to the greek was just a filler for me, lol. (although I just thought of something to replace it, so it's off from my list in a few seconds). |

And Scary Movie is a parody of Scream. So Scary Movie is the parody of a parody. Interesting little note. |

It certainly takes itself seriously... until the black cop gets stabbed in the head, going down with "Fuck Bruce Willis" |

There's nothing in it to make it be a parody. |

5. Coming To America. Eddie Murphy's best movie.
4. The Hard Way. Basically 90 minutes of James Woods raving about how much of a terrible human being Michael J Fox is.
3. Friday. Because it's hilarious from start to finish.
2. Kung Pow. Shamelessly silly and absurd and hated by the entire mainstream moviegoing public. I loved it.
1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Yes, before it was popular with hipsters and no, I don't generally like Monty Python.

Scream is a horror film but it's also a black comedy that's a self-aware send-up of horror cliches. Kind of like "Student Bodies" but a little more subtle. Seriously, if you haven't seen Student Bodies you really should. |

In no real order.
Naked Gun - The ever classic series by the late Leslie Nielsen, and boy what a laugh, especially the first 2.
Austin Powers - Another lovable series. It's just whacky, foolish fun and I love it.
Ace Ventura Pet Detective & Nature Calls - These movies by Jim Carry doesn't seem very highly regarded, but I for one love them. I don't think nobody could of played this character the way Carry did. Very comical.
Scary Movie 1, 2, 3 - Ah Scary Movie, the first two was golden comical takes on popular horror movies of the time. It started to tamper off a it with 3, but 3 was still good. The movies now though are just a complete mess, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, I don't really care for any of those.
Airplane or Hot Shot movies - I'm torn on number 5. I liked Airplane a lot, while I enjoyed Airplane 2, I found it wasn't as good. I think they kinda ran out of idea as it just felt like Airplane 1 rewritten for a space ship. Then the Hot Shot movies, I enjoyed both of these movies. I don't really know which to put as #5.

The first two Naked Gun movies are up there. Anything that can make me laugh at a cold-blooded murderer- even before he finally went to prison, that is- is okay by me.
I go back and forth between which one I like better, they're really neck and neck. The third one was a huge disappointment, I don't know what went wrong.

Third one did have it's moments, thus why I didn't exclude it. However yes, it did feel to lack compared to the first two.
