Motel Hell, one of the first modern horror comedys. I think it should be a cult movie.

Back in 1987, me and my brothers rented Return of the Living Dead and spent hours rewinding all the funny scenes. That one still sticks out in my head.

I think Pulp Fiction is the funniest movie ever written. Most wouldnt see it as comedy I guess. But then again I tend to not enjoy traditional comedies.

Since it was mentioned movies you like that others dont.

Try "Everybody Wants Some". Spiritual sequel to "Dazed and Confused". I just watched it. Really dig it. If you like Dazed, give it a try. Seemed to fly under the radar at release.

I just remembered a couple other B movies that get honorable mention:
Seven Hours to Judgment with Beau Bridges
Nightmare at Noon with George Kennedy and Wings Hauser.

"Better Off Dead" is a favorite of mine. "You must obey the posted speed limit, Lane Meyer. A car is not a toy"

Kingpin w/Woody Harrelson & Bill Murray. Funny and a little raunchy. Great soundtrack.

Wow. Cool stuff. HIS, there's a lot of googling to do...

I forgot about one of my faves from years ago: "Baseketball". Cried my eyes out laughing at their "psych" tactics.

Just skip to 1:28. 'Nuff said!

Cusack movies are great fun too. "Hot Tub Time Machine" is in my top 3.

Mel Brooks "Young Frankenstein" is one of my favorite comedies. No one else that I know seems to get it..

Hey, great list... I've got a couple of new offerings: The Great Race, and What's up, Tiger Lily. There's a scene in TGR where Peter Falk tries to get an icicle off of Jack Lemon's villain mustache and rips half of it off ... no dialogue, but a gut-buster as he tries to stick it back on. Tiger Lily was a "B-" Japanese spy flick that Woody Allen bought, erased the sound track and dubbed English dialogue and sound on it. Never laughed so hard... To be honest, I had been drinking when I watched it the first time, which certainly added to the experience.

Anything Monty Python for me, but the wife doesn't get the warped British humour.
My oldest wanted spam for dinner one night, so I had to find the Spam skit on youtube. Me and the two boys were in tears, the wife just shook her head.

I like most things that Will Ferrell has done, Talledega Nights being my fav.

The Great Race is a personal favorite in our family, too, as it the Princess Bride. We can have entire conversations using only quotes from those two movies.

Monty Python cracks me up but I'm the only one at my house.

Most anything Monty Python but Holy Grail was one I watched a ton in college and friends would quote frequently. Also Airplane had me dying since I was a teenager and it was off color back then for a teen boy.

yes on both monty python and no one else in my immediate universe appreciating it as much as i do.
the movies are masterpieces, but each and every episode of flying circus is where dudes were at their absolute best.

totally non-related, and not even a film, but the phony phone calls on the stern show have had people looking at me from other cars certain i'm having a seizure and giving me looks like "are you ok?".

there's a particularly topical one of richard/sal's that they play frequently, where they call an auto repair shop, say they think they threw a rod, and ask if they can play their engine over the phone. they proceed to repeatedly play the sound of a toilet flushing to the very perplexed mechanic.
sounds stupid, and it IS, but it's just stupidly aneurism-inducing.

Two for me.
1. Trains, Planes, and Automobiles
2. Hollywood Knights
I'm the only one that appreciates the humor in these movies.

Keeping with the OP topic movies I think that are funny but others don't or haven't seen.
"Very Bad Things" and "Say it isn't So" "Dude Where's My Car"

A couple of more recent ones for me are "Tropic Thunder" and "Train Wreck." Both were really funny.
