To Begin; The Comedies!

I know it's not just me, because I have met others who do the same thing. You find a movie you can't stop watching. You become compulsed to use phrases from it, you push it on your friends, you still use phrases and one liners from it, because you're the only one who gets it, and you find that funny.

But chances are, if you have any friends, or weird family members who just press replay every time the movie stops then you're having your share of either totally BLISS or seriously trying to escape the trials of the day.. week, month, year, whatever. You find this movie, and you're sucked up like lint under a hoover.

I have about 20 of my favorite, ULTIMATE watch-over movies. I don't have them in alphabetical order because I'm not picky like that. I'd actually like to keep my DVD's in order to color. Whatever I can usually find exactly what I'm going for. Here's my written list, so you can add it to your list, and just to hear me chatter away rather than reading. I hope you find one in the bunch, AT LEAST one that makes you laugh!

 

The Unalphabetized List o' Comedies

Smiley Face
Starring Anna Faris, Danny Masterson, John Krasinski, Marion Ross, John Cho, Adam Brody,

  • Quite a cute lil' movie. A girl eats her room mates cupcakes, only to discover they are not just your ordinary cupcakes. While trying to get everything done on her list, she has quite an eventful day!

The Stupids
Tom Arnold, Jessica Lundy

  • The Stupids are baffled at the reason someone might be coming by and stealing their garbage every time they put it out! Stanley (Tom) decides to wait up and follow the culprits. While he does find himself in a true crime, and uncover the evil Mr. Sender, they end up living happily ever after. A MUST SEE especially if you like the cult classics like, Smiley Face, and others below!

My Stepmother Is An Alien
Kim Basinger, Dan Aykroyd

  • Alien (Kim Basinger) comes to Earth to learn our ways, she learns that she likes it better here after falling in love with a very frumpy Scientist, Dan Aykroyd, his daughter and dog. Her boss is in her purse as she tries to fit in! Who wants to listen to a bossy purse ya know!

Easy Money
Rodney Dangerfield

  • One year of straight and narrow for Rodney? I dunno.... he's a tricky dude! But what some wouldn't endure for a large sum of cold hard cash!

Relative Strangers
Nev Cambell, Danny DeVito, Kathy Bates, Ron Livingston, Beverly DeAngelo

  • Parents vs. Adoptive parents. Kathy Bates steals the show in this one! Hysterical all the way through. Has a heartwarming comedy,for a loud and boisterious set of in-laws!

Tommy Boy
Chris Farley, David Spade

  • Dummy, Tommy is going to lose his fathers business, but business friend, and REAL friend, tries to help him get it back, backfire, as Tommy pulls everyone through the tough time with tons of laugther and loyalty to his dad!

Animal House
John Belushi, Donald Sutherland, Karen Allen

  • It might have a few years under it's belt, but this movie is going to go down in history for the best college cult comedy ever. If you've never seen it, and you're into old school cult comedy, then you'll love this one. Best party scenes, and crazy plots! One try, you'll be hooked!

Dirty Work
Norm MacDonald, Jack Warden, Chevy Chase, Don Rickles

  • Two young boys grow up with a father who gives them one bit of life's advice. "Don't take crap from no one." You'll have to sit back and catch a few of the little jokes or you'll miss them. A really fun movie, about how to get back at people who do you wrong! Beware!

You, Me, and Dupree
Own Wilson, Kate Hudson, Matt Dillon, Michael Douglas

  • Ladies, beware if your friend ever wants to let that "long lost" buddy in for a few days! Especially the one you've never ever heard of! Seriously hysterical!

European Vacation and Christmas Vacation
Chevy Chase, Beverly DeAngelo

  • European Vacation set this sequense rolling. From the first time I seen it and laughed all the way through, I was hooked. All the Vacation series are hysterical, with these two being my personal favorites. Randy Quaid comes to visit in Christmas Vacation, so you know it's going to have some laughs.. and sick laughs!

The Jerk
Steve Martin, Bernadette Peters

  • Navin Johnson sets out to be on his own. He gets a job at a gas station, and luckily sends his family a few cents back home. He becomes a millaire for inventing the Opti-Grab. One of the funniest movies of the 20th century!

My Cousin Vinny
Joe Pesci, Ralph Cacchio, Marisa Tomei, and FRED GWEN!

  • Ah, this will have to also go in my "Top 20 Funny Court" movies as well! For an attorney who doesn't know what he's doing, his woman sure does!

Young Frankenstein
Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, Peter Boyle, Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn, Gene Hackman.

  • Let's just say everyone finds their true mate, in this far fetched legendary film of FrankenStein. (Pronounced Frunken-Stiiiiiine)

Summer Rental
John Candy, Beverly DeAngelo

  • Sometimes it might just be better to stay home!

Super Troopers
Brian Cox

  • Just stay with it. No matter how much you love just the first 15 minutes of this film, the rest tends to let you drift off. But if you stay with it, it's funny all the way through!

Anger Management
Adam Sandler, Jack Nicholson, Marisa Tomei

  • Through a lot of hysterical laughter, Dave gets up his nerve to be a little less shy in public, brining him and his fiance much closer! I don't think anybody could stand this treatment without getting angry! Or going nuts!

Arthur
Dudley Moore, Liza Minnelli, John Geilgud

  • The most fun money can buy! In my opinion this will be a cult classic for Dudley Moore!

Along Came Polly
Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston

  • Reuben is a major germaphobe, and insurance analyst. Then he meets the girl of his dreams, and she is less than a germaphobe, in fact nothing phases her. She's down to earth, and if he wants to be with her, he'll have to get used to it, but does he?

The Man With Two Brains
Steve Martin, Kathleen Turner

  • If a man ever tells you he's fallen in love with your mind, THINK again! haha! This movie is Steve Martin in his classic self, you know, finding out Merv Griffen is a serial killer, and he's gotta keep that secret, plus some of his own! A STEVE MARTIN, MUST SEE!

I share many of the comedies you've listed here as movies I watch over and over, including the Vacation movies, Animal House, My Cousin Vinny and Young Frankenstein.
