Need some laughs but can't think of a movie to watch?
Thought I'd share some comedies that I'm happy to see again and again!
Some Like it Hot, 1959
Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon
Two guys, one girl, and tons of laughs. True comedic genius.
Four Weddings and a Funeral, 1994
Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell
Yes,
the English do actually have a pretty good sense of humor, and the
chemistry between Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell is delicious.
Annie Hall, 1977
Woody Allen, Diane Keaton
Neurotic and insecure "pre yuppy" New Yorkers with too much time on their hands to analyze their lives.....(a prelude to Seinfield)?
Young Frankenstein, 1974
Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Teri Garr
Who knew a classic horror film could be re-made with such hilarious results?... and remember, it's "Frankensteen".
Groundhog Day, 1993
Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell
Funny and poignant, a real reminder of what we can do with a day, and an attitude adjustment.
Dodgeball, (A True Underdog Story), 2004
Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughan
Just the mention of this brutish childhood game makes me wince. How perfect that this movie matches the underdogs against the bullies!
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar, 1995
Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, John Leguizamo
Three
macho actors as drag queens. You have to give them credit, they play it
real, giving the film depth as well as humor; (as it is a comedy). I loved
Stockard Channing as the small town woman who learns a valuable lesson
from the girls.
Deuce Bigelow, Male Gigolo, 1999
Rob Schneider
Rob
Schneider is adorable as a pathetic, but sweet excuse for a
"replacement" gigolo to pay off money owed to an acquaintance he's
afraid of.
Happy Gilmore, 1996
Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen
Adam Sandler's real breakout film as a comedic writer and actor. The Bob Barker bit was odd but good, and who can forget Carl Weathers as "Chubbs".
Finally, saving the best for last.......
Trading Places, 1983
Dan Akroyd, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Lee Curtis
"Timeless" says it all! Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd are at their absolute best
in this film, as is Jamie Lee Curtis.
