Top 5 funniest movies of the last 30 years!

[Big Dick McGee]

1. South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut. I laughed so hard throughout (but especially at "Uncle Fucker"), that I literally couldn't breathe, and thought I'd throw up.

2. Old School. Still the best of Vince Vaughn's comedies. Funny from beginning to end.

3. Caddyshack. Rodney Dangerfield. Ted Knight. Bill Murray. Chevy Chase when he was funny. Brilliant.

4. Raising Arizona. Slapstick + Incredibly Clever Writing = +5,000,000 internets! Srsly, oh my god y'all, this movie is fucking funny.

5. 40-Year-Old-Virgin. The throwaway "You know how I know you're gay" scene was funnier than most entire comedies.

So, this is completely subjective, of course. What are yours?

Your #1 would probs be in my Top 5. Need to think aboot it.

Caddyshack was 29 years ago.

Raising Arizona was 22 years ago.

DON'T HIT ME!

 

[Big Dick McGee]

Damn, I'm old. I wanted to limit it to 20 years 'cause I thought I couldn't remember that far back. And "all-time" is a ridculous exercise. I wish a kindly admin would change the title to "30 years".

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

If wishing made it so.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

As LG loves to say, "Wish in one hand, shit in the other, and we'll all have a Merry Christmas".

Or words to that effect.

2. Old School. Still the best of Vince Vaughn's comedies. Funny from beginning to end.

So, this is completely subjective, of course. What are yours?

My 2¢: While I'm okay with all of your choices except Old School (hell, I can name a few funnier Vince Vaughn flicks: Swingers, Made... even Wedding Crashers,) Blues Brothers could replace anything on this list. You should do a Top Ten.

I'll come up with my own later.

(fucker...your 30-year cut-off date excludes Animal House & Slap Shot!)

 

[Big Dick McGee]

This is probably heresy, but I watched Animal House about a year ago...and it seemed really dated to me.

 

[CaptainWacky]

WHAT ABOUT ZOOLANDER, YOU MOOKS?

 

[Big Dick McGee]

Never sawr it.

 

[CaptainWacky]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Big Dick McGee]

Dodgeball was prett funny, that featured Mr. & Mrs. Benjamin Eleanor Stiller.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Zoolander was like #21 or 22 on my list.

 

[Toxicdistortion]

In no particular order

Zoolander
The Life Aquatic
Dazed and Confused
Blues Brothers
The Jerk

Dr. Strangelove is better than all the above, but older than 30 years.

Will Farrell > Vince Vaughn.

The comedy genre is dead.

 

[Tisiphone]

Eggs listed a majority of mine, though I'll add a couple.

Clue
Dodgeball
Superbad
Pineapple Express

And anything movie that has been mystied by MST3K.
