Finally! Funniest . . . Movie . . . Evar is on DVD

[Shadowdancer]

The Gods Must Be Crazy

The first movie is hilarious. The second one is terrible. Still, this is worth having for the first movie alone.

 

[Kai Lord]

Ha. Definitely a classic. Never saw the second one.

EDIT: As for the funniest movie ever...I'd have to go with the original "Airplane!"

 

[Mark]

Both good and I think I'll start a new thread...

 

[Dirigible]

We must be thinking about different movies...

 

[Dark Jezter]

Funniest movie ever? I'd have to say Young Frankenstien, Airplane, or Dumb & Dumber.

Yes, you heard me right. I placed Dumb & Dumber in the same category as Young Frankenstien and Airplane. The first time I saw Dumb & Dumber, my sides were sore for the rest of the night because I'd been laughing so hard. To this day, I still break out in laughter whenever I watch it.

Dumb and Dumber is the only movie that actually had me on the floor of the theater. I have never laughed so hard or so frequently at a movie in my life. Pure comic genius, and I'll second its nomination for funniest movie ever.

I loved Gods Must Be Crazy, and saw it about 6 times in the theatre in high school. Years later someone told me that the film had actually been a propaganda vehicle for the South African government, the theme being that the nice, niave black people should stay out in the bush, and not trouble their little heads with civilization and white man stuff. I don't know if this is true, but it left a funny aftertaste in my mouth after that.

I really liked The Gods Must Be Crazy; I saw the follow-up to it (forget the title right now) and it was nowhere near as good.

Funniest movie of all time, though? I dunno...

Consider some of the competition:

Airplane
Ghostbusters
A Fish Called Wanda
Arsenic & Old Lace
The Producers
This Is Spinal Tap
Kind Hearts & Coronets (okay, less well-known nowadays, but one of Alec Guiness' greatest performances)

I could go on and on. TGMBC is funny, but not the greatest.

Airplane! is easily the funniest movie ever made.
Nothing else even comes close.

2nd funniest is Blazing Saddles.

Kingpin made me fall out of my chair the first time I saw it. It is by far the best movie the Farrelly Bros have made yet.

Whenever I get e-mail my system says in Peter Graves' voice, "You ever seen a grown man naked?" Makes me smile every single time.

Have to agree. Airplane is the funniest movie ever. Period.
