BellaOnline Forums TV and Movies Comedy Movies If You Had a Bad Day, Which Comedy Movie Would Cheer You Up?

Liar, Liar
Anything Ab Fab

Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers and (for a lot of cheese) When Harry Met Sally....

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase

Trains, Planes, And Automobiles definitely is around the top of my list for comedies. "Those aren't pillows!!!"

Bruce Almighty was excellent as well (though I'm not a huge fan of Jim Carrey's movies, I do love that one...and I think he's an excellent actor; but for some reason I haven't cared for the parts he's played in many). However, not only is this movie funny, but I found it carried a wonderful message as well. It really touched my heart.

I also love the Scary Movie series...they are just so over-the-top silly that you cannot 'not' laugh.

Will think of more later...

Oh yes! Susan, that is one of my all-time favorite comedies...I watch it every year during the holidays. It's a classic! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

As people are writing "tag lines" I will too, but not until after:

First, the movies I listed in "watch over & over again" are the comedies that would cheer me up.

Second, thanx to someone for telling me where "I want my $2" came from. As I recall, that bit was really the only funny thing in the movie, wasn't it?

and finally, certainly a pick me up feel good movie is "The princess Bride" -

Vizini: Inconceivable!
Inigo: I don't think that word means what you think it does.

A movie bye

Friends and Charmed

"American Beauty" with Kevin Spacey and Annette Benning. Not funny to you? It's VERY dry and poignant humour. Good for transformational situations where you've been stuck and need to remember why moving on is freeing.
"Little Big Man" w/ Dustin Hoffman & Faye Dunaway .Just funny. Circle of life & human nature.
"White Chicks" yes, that's what I said, "White Chicks" for the ridiculous kind of funny. I guess I'm amused most by human nature...?
"Harold & Maude" Inspirational.
"Meet the Fockers" or "Meet the Parents" if you can stand watching some seriously bad luck fall.
Any stand up by George Carlin or Robin Williams or Whoopie Goldberg.

I just had major surgery (hysterectomy) and the princess bride is my favorite movie to watch. <img src="/images/graemlins/king.gif" alt="" />

Abbott and Costello meets ??? fill in the blank. They always make me laugh.
