Default Funniest Movie...

...That you have ever seen?

I don't laugh easily at films or television programmes but Hotshots : Part Deux had me in tears by the end of it. And I don't mean it was sad.

It was just so stupidly comical I couldn't stop laughing. Oh, and most of Steve Martin's movies have that effect on me too.

And you...

right now, the funniest has to be Jackass: The Movie. I just watched the DVD with all the extra footage, outtakes, etc., and laughed for over 3 hours straight.

Let's see, funniest movie... There's a bunch.

Dr. Strangelove
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Life of Brian
Arsenic and Old Lace
Young Frankenstein
A Christmas Story
The Princess Bride

Bunches of others, but these have all stood the test of time. I'll still be watching them 30 years from now and laughing my ass off every damned time.

Office Space had me laughing, as well as the antics of Corky Romano.

I don't find many comedies funny.

I found Soul Survivors to be very funny. Although that was mostly in the sense of "Ha ha ha! I can't believe how unbelievably bad this is!"
