Default Funny movies that nobody else seems to enjoy quite like you do...

Last week I saw Sacha Cohen's movie "The Brothers Grimsby". I about p!$$ed myself from laughing so hard. It has now moved up on my personal list of favorite funny movies to rival my all-time favorite, "That's My Boy" (Adam Sandler).

When I tell people about either movie, it usually gets the eye rolling or head shaking. It makes me wonder if I am truly warped for being a fan of either of these two guys.

But hey... Sacha Cohen is married to Isla Fisher, which in itself is worthy of a giant Borat-style "high five". And Sandler isn't doing too bad either.

Any other warped comedies out there that you guys are a fan of?

For me and a few select friends, it's 'Raising Arizona' with Nick Cage , Holly Hunter. Pretty much every line is hilarious to us and gets quoted regularly. Definitely on my top 5 list.

"It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World". Wife won't watch it, says it's dumb. What's not to like, and find funny?

I wondered how many people almost died during the car stunts!

Vintage Three Stooges shorts - but only the ones with Curly. My kids love 'em too - but nobody else seems to.

Airplane. I watched it in a very smoke filled room decades ago when it first hit HBO.
Never laughed so hard in my life. The food was great too.

I love all of the Vacations, even the new one. European and Christmas are my faves.

Recently saw Joe Dirt 2. Surprisingly funny, even tho the plot flow got a little weird.

Beavis and Butthead Do America. Now that's some cinematic excellence right there.

We had some friends over the weekend before last and watched it on Nexflix around a campfire on the patio. It's even funnier when you are half loaded.

It's probably weird to rank as one of the funniest movies but The Long Long Trailer just cracks me up, it is epic.

Time Bandits. It was a 1981 British movie about a young boy that joins a band of time-traveling dwarves. They have a map they stole from a powerful being, and they hop from place to place in time trying to steal treasure. It's like a wild dream you have after doing some pretty powerful drugs.

I can't figure out why but the first "Weekend at Bernie's" made my sides hurt from laughing. Also big fan of the "Police Squad" series.
