The movie that got the biggest response in the theater for me was Borat. It was the opening day and the theater was mostly full and there was someone laughing for nearly the entire film.
Not to say it is the most objectively funny movie I have ever seen, but it certainly made an impression on me.Kung Pow! Enter the Fist
The DVD extras were great too.
I’d like a bag of nuts please
That’s a lot of nuts!
Hot Fuzz, absolutely amazing British humo(u)r.
Lot of great answers here, I’ll add Blazing Saddles and Hudson Hawk.
Probably Top Secret.
Underrated film. CHACOLAT MOUSSE!
Latrine!
MY top comedies:
Spaceballs, Idiocracy, BeerFest, The Nice Guys, EuroTrip, Hot Rod, Grandma’s Boy,
The Nice Guys is sooooo good
Rod falling down the mountain after a freak punch dancing accident made me cackle out loud
I go to church. You wanna take the demons outta me!? I’ve been drinking Green Tea all god damn day!
I saw South Park: Bigger Longer Uncut in a packed theater with some friends the night it came out. I literally hurt from laughing so much by the end!
Airplane! Is always top class
Maybe not the funniest, but my favorite is Legend of the Drunken Master with Jackie Chan.
There are some insanely good quips in that movie. Although there seem to be a few different translated versions? So there’s some slight differences between them and one is definitely funnier than the rest.
I’m not going to claim it’s the absolute funniest movie I’ve ever seen, and there’s probably a degree of recency bias here, but Hundreds of Beavers is really great.
It’s probably the funniest film that technically is a silent film from the modern era.
Tropic Thunder for sure
One that hasn’t been mentioned yet as of this comment: The Other Guys.
It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World is my choice.
Penguins (of Madagascar): The Movie
This is actually my vote too. I saw it in theatre with my niece and was laughing my head off all through the film.
I think my 2nd place vote would be for The Man Who Knew Too Little.
Dude hell yes the man who knew too little is a laugh riot from start to finish
- Young Frankenstein
- Airplane!
- The Frisco Kid
All seen by the time I was 10 (I am old) and all still hold up today.
An older film with really, really dry humor: Kind Hearts & Coronets
I just googled it’s got 100% at rotten tomatoes
