Funniest Film Ever

What is the funniest movie you've ever seen? I mean, you actually laughed until you cried or fell off your seat or whatever. For me it would be a tie (and there is a common thread) the first is "A Fish Called Wanda". I first saw it in a free showing at college and my friends moved away from me to sit in seats elsewhere because I was laughing and crying so loudly...

I still find it funny when I see it again, but never as much as the first time.

The second was "Clockwise" which I rented one Saturday afternoon many moons ago...I literally rolled off of the couch I was laughing so hard...and kept on laughing! If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. This one makes me cry even when I see it over again...

What's Up Doc and Where's Papa.....both older films but still very funny. I can't think of anything recent that was very funny, or could sustain the humor past the trailer.

Oh, this is easy.

Monty Python's "Life of Brian" is the funniest comedy ever made.

Monty Python's "Holy Grail" is a good second. Ni!

I agree with Brian - definitely that film. There's just nothing to touch it.

I'll agree that the Monty Python films are funny - very funny, but did you actually fall out of your seat laughing? That is why I chose Clockwise. Absolutely hilarious. Has anyone seen it? Just in case you haven't and you didn't get my comment about a similar thread between the two movies I picked - John Cleese is the star and he does a bang up job of it too.

Another funny one:
All of Me - with Lily Tomlin and Steve Martin (I can still quote the really funny scenes and I haven't seen it in years)

I can't think of one at the moment. There should be one or two.

Hard to pick one movie...Tom Hanks cracks me up, as does Martin Lawrence. Eddie Murphy tends to make me laugh.

I think I have to cast another vote for "A Fish Called Wanda." I keep trying to think of the really funny films I've seen, and this is the one that I remember with the most fondness.

Having thought some more, I remember laughing a lot at "Raising Arizona". Oh, and also at "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou" (which is, of course, really "The Odyssey").
