[Alrainbow]

I would some to list a past comedy they loved and why
my first pick is

johnny dangerously - Google Search

Jonny dangerously movie
it’s old Enough to have any we can’t do this stuff
has a massive cast and his young they look
Maybe while I’m a true American I do love my Italian heritage
this movie has me laughing start to finish
it’s dumb and I love it.
while past movies like blazing saddles are great this movie had little to no ethnic shock
Anyway I look forward to new stuff and comments

Vacation - I watched this countless times growing up, classic Chevy Chase.
The Burbs - Great cast
Trading Places - Love old Eddie Murphy movies
Coming to America

"The Ghost and Mr. Chicken", a perfect vehicle for Don Knott's physical comedy. It's also a lovely nostalgia piece for 1960s small town kitsch. I'd only seen it on TV in the 1960s on our black and white TV so I was amazed when I bought the DVD and saw it in beautiful Technicolor.

"Death at a Funeral", the 2007 British version, it gets funnier every time I watch it.

a tradition of ours for well over 25 years is watching Christmas Vacation after Thanksgiving dinner ( we used to do it after Christmas dinner but for the past 15 years at least after Christmas dinner we watch Elf). My family can recite every line from both movies as we each play one of the characters.. We say the lines before the actors do.

Another favorite which is not really a comedy but one we have watched 100's of times and my wife knows every line is Pretty Woman. Great movie with Julia at the start of her career and a fabulous sound track to boot

Same here, my brother still says "good talk Russ" after any long conversation.

This list must.... just MUST, include the original Pink Panther movies, with Peter Sellars. If you want to stick with Peter Sellars and go a bit darker, Dr. Strangelove.

As I seem to forget past movies in a way it’s great to watch them again. Now this drives my wife nuts lol. unless it’s one she loves to see again

I also love both of these selections..! IMHO, the latter is a borderline cinematic masterpiece.

lets not forget Annie Halll when Woody was at his peak. Sneezing into that stash of cocaine is unforgettable...

Dumb and Dumber

Some Like It Hot

and how could this scene ever be replicated in a film. Especially when Rob Reiner's wife says "I'll have what she's having"

When Harry Met sally

There's Something About Mary

I liked most of his with Diane Keato, Manhattan murder mystery was hilarious. DK in Allen movies is probably my favorite actress

Clerks, bachelor party

I totally agree except in present era Woody his new go to is Scarlett Johansson and she's pretty darn good as well. I think one of his best recent movies was Match Point from 2006

i don’t like his serious ones. The other brilliant Diane Keaton movie starring him not directed by him is play it again Sam.
