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

I couldn't stop laughing at the Simpsons movie when I saw it. I know it's not a popular choice now!

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World is my choice.

Penguins (of Madagascar): The Movie

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Dude hell yes the man who knew too little is a laugh riot from start to finish

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 3 points 1 week ago

One that hasn't been mentioned yet as of this comment: The Other Guys.

  • 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

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

Clerks comes to mind.

[–] Bruhh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Will never not laugh at Rush Hour and their bloopers

[–] Jarlsburg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] BlackArtist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I've never been into comedy's but I came across This Means War and with Tom Hardy being in it I gave it a shot. It really did make me laugh out loud ( the scene about the hands, had me cracking up), pretty tame if you like comedies I'd imagine but well worth a watch.

[–] hoagecko@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Metropolis (1927) directed by Fritz Lang.

I learned about this film from the work of the same name by the legendary Japanese manga artist Osamu Tezuka.

It's one of the great masterpieces that sparked my strong interest in the interwar period.

edit:

Correction. I posted this reflexively, misunderstanding the meaning of "funny" through software translation.

I apologize for the confusion this has caused in the community.
