Monty Python and the Holy Grail-
The fight with the black knight. (and about 10 other scenes in it)
And almost every Seinfeld (although not a movie) makes me laugh out loud at some point - I didn't stsrt watching it until the series was almost over - and then I borrowed five seasons and watched them all over a Christmas break -
I better stop here - I feel like my rambling hijacked your blog yf John
Toooooooo many to really compile a list! LOL But, although not a movie, David Sedaris' bit called "6 to 8 Black Men" just may be one of the funniest things ever written! Makes me proud to be an American! LOL
1. Almost any Laurel & Hardy movie
2. Mr. Creasote exploding in "The Meaning of Life"
3. The line "Astrophysicist" from "Girls Will Be Girls"
4. Johny Candy making giant pancakes and flipping them with a snow shovel in "Uncle Buck"
5. While truly dark...the scene where Hannibal Lecter fed the FBI dork's brain to him in "Hannibal". It's gross yes...but it struck me as absurdly funny! LOL
I could go on here for days! But I do believe a buffalo chicken pizza is calling me on this chilly but sunny Sunday! :-)
