    Hold on - silly me to misread the title of this forum. Five FUNNIEST movies... not 5 favorite. What can I say, it's my blondeness coming out.

    Here's the revised (funny) list:

    1. Kung Pow (Definitely first - I laughed until I cried)

    2. Mystery Science Theater 3000: Eegah

    3. Saving Grace

    4. Robin Williams Live on Broadway

    5. Um... mental block!! Ok, I'll just say Spaceballs

    okay, i just want to be clear on this, you guys are all picking SPACEBALLS the 1987 mel brooks space parody, that although it made me chuckle, maybe even laugh out loud once in a while, but never once made me guffaw, and i need guffaws aplenty to make a top five. i mean it's on 80% of your lists.

    i need to be enlightened. share with me the secrets of this cinema classic.



    i do have the laser disc with mel brooks commentary which led me to ask if he was even at the filming, luckily ronnie graham (the screenwriter) was on the commentary track also too fill in some blanks. does anybody have the dvd? did they use the commentary on it? it was quite funny.



    is it the "GIMME PAW!" line?

    80% ?? Run for the hills. I'd like to thankyou SKMDC for reminding us of WC Fields, though I haven't seen a film of his on the telly for years, i sure remember laughing drain-like. ( "Is this a game of chance "Not the way i play it"" Ditto Duck Soup-the last time i saw that was a few years ago on Christmas Night, perfect full-of-food and-wine fodder. Also I'm the ony bloke to mention Laurel and Hardy which is pretty bloody sad considering the number of shorts they made, and pants they caused me to wet.

    I'd like to add that the "Corporate Bad Boys" parody in Bowling for Columbine was hilarious. It should've been longer.
