A bit harsh on Samuel L Jackson, who I think is funny as fuck in "Pulp Fiction" while not really being a comedy actor per se
Some good choices there - I'd have to add "Animal House" to that list, though and "Life of Brian". I love "Midnight Run" too (DeNiro is much underrated as a comedy actor)
Throw in any golden era Laurel & Hardy or Marx Brothers films as well. Good call on Buster Keaton - pity his films hardly ever seem to be shown anymore.
Best stand up comedian for me would be either Pryor or Billy Connolly. |

Holy Grail

any Keaton film; in terms of sheer hilarity and laughs, the shorts over the features, but the features certainly represent some of the best filmmaking ever
Chaplin's Gold Rush and his 1916-17 Mutual shorts
just about any Laurel & Hardy short, but in particular "The Music Box," "Towed in a Hole," "Big Business," "Two Tars," "Perfect Day," and "Our Wife"
The Marx Brothers' Paramount films. A Night at the Opera is INCREDIBLY overrated. Yes it has several classic scenes, but the sub-plots just fucking suck and it pisses me off every time some critic praises the film because it contains more story than the anarchic Paramount films. THE MARX BROTHERS DON'T NEED FUCKING STORIES!!!!!!! I'll take Duck Soup, Horse Feathers, Monkey Business, Animal Crackers and even The Cocoanuts over ANY of their MGM films.
Harold Lloyd's Safety Last!, Why Worry? and For Heaven's Sake. This guy is even more obscure than Keaton.
Peter Cook and W. C. Fields are the two funniest people that ever lived.
Keaton is the greatest comic filmmaker, and one of the two or three greatest filmmakers ever.
Chico Marx is underrated. |

I hardly ever watch movies anymore but all these immedietly come to mind
South Park
Animal House
Shakes The Clown

funniest TV episode ever: Are You Right There Father Ted? |

If we are counting shorts too I would put Tex Avery and the early Tom And Jerry cartoons far above and beyond any live action film I have ever seen. |

Perhaps. L. Jackson was the first name that popped into my head (because of Loaded Weapon, which is SHIT), but I could have written Stallone (Oscar) or Al Pacino (Frankie & Johnny) instead.
The Beavis And Butthead movie kinda dissapointed me; the South Park movie was awesome; but BASEketball (from the same production team of the latter) is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
I forgot Mel Brooks (Frankenstein Jr.), which is a shame. I could add Fast Times At Ridgemont High also. Dunno. But, hey, who am I to tell?; I'm one of the few guys who actually enjoyed Hudson Hawk. |

YES and YES!!
For black humor at its raddest look for the works of Marco Ferreri (La Grande Bouffe, where Michel Piccoli farts himself to death; The Last Woman, where Gérard Depardieu slices his manhood with an electric knife!).
Also, while not being a comedy, Possession, by Andrzej Zulawski, is the perfect dating movie. |
