Help me pick a flick....

[Alicewave]

I got a gift cert to amazon.com for my b-day. I want to get a DVD, preferably a timeless comedy that I haven't seen before but will want to watch over and over. An example of one of my favorite comedies: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Any ideas?

[Youkai]

I would have to say Donnie Darko....

Dark comedy :D

[Matt_K]

if you liked Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back, then you would also love, Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy or Dogma. If i had to chose out of those, i would go with Dogma!!!

[BWSmith]

Go with the South Park Movie so everytime you get in here you will hear "Blame Canada" in the back of your head ;)

[Alicewave]

LOL, all the Kevin Smith movies I have or have seen 100 times. I found Donnie Darko and it's Cheap so I may throw that in for kicks. South Park is a good call as well. Ty. Keep em coming.

[Geck-co]

Donny Darko ALL THE WAY mind you when Youkai says dark they really mean DARK its rather dark n ev0l.

Another hilarious movie - Mr. Deeds (but if you dont like adam sandler comedy I wouldnt sugest it) Anyone else have any idea why EVER character he portrays ALWAYS ends up being the same guy? lol


Rat Race is funny and has a all star cast. Personelly i'm not much for comedies, but i own all 3 of the above and love to watch them :)

[Matt_K]

Not Another Teen Movie.

[BWSmith]

You need to buy "The Boondock Saints" Best movie ever made!

[Alicewave]

I was thinking of Femalien...

[doenoe]

Biodome is quite a funny movie. Or the fawlty towers dvd set or something.

[beth wallbank]

THE RING!!!! its out for sale today.....you will LOVE it

[Alicewave]

Meh, saw it in theatres.

[Geck-co]

I found the ring rather funny at some parts... great concept/movie just really bad acting and directing. If you liked it though check out the japanese version of the movie, theres The Ring, The Ring 2 (think thats what it is i have it at home i can check and post the name, also thers The Ring: Zero (prequil) if your interseted pm me ;P might be able to help ya out. They are sub-tittled.

A few other funny movies (was thinking about this heh)
- Lock Stock and two smoking barrels
- dased and confused (oldie but a goodie)
- Interstate 69 (comming to a theater this april) awsome movie pm me if it interests you - from the director of the back to the future seris
- snatch - (same director of lock stock and two smoking barrels, this was created affter lock stock very simular with totally different story lines, but same kind of directing/story line)

hrmm nothing else comes to mind *right* now

[ReptiZone]

I saw dogma and it was great a must see but Idont think I woutd buy it

[Youkai]

The nice thing about Donnie Darko is that, for many people, you have to watch it again at least once. You actually have to think a bit about it too. :)

[Alicewave]

Yeah, DD is only 11 dollars and my gift cert is for 25 so i will get that and something else. Have not decided on the something else.

I am a huge kevin smith fan!! Dogma is great but if you are looking for classic comedys with Kevins SMiths great work, then I would go with Clerks first - it kinda sets up the whole series if u have seen Jay and Silent Strike back you will know what I am talking about once you watch Clerks" Then I would get Mall Rats again it all leads up to Jay and silent bob!

Then the next one I would get would be Dogma, its kinda a offshoot of his but is funny as hell!

Then if u want get Chasing Amy, its a great movie but its a more serious comedy!

HOpe that helps, and you really should check these movies out if its just to rent them!

[Alicewave]

Yep, I already own Dogma and I have seen and loved all the others.

[Youkai]

Is Clone High on DVD yet? Then I'd go for that...
"Ohmygod, it's genetically engineered with a zipper!!"

[Xetox]

I just love his writing, to bad he is done with those.

He is supposed to be releasing a new movie this yeat, but from the word on the forums is that it going to be a drama....but we will C. I know Jay has retired from the seen they are not going to be doing anymore movies with Jay and Silent Bob and that just sucks!

[Youkai]

Oh, if you're wondering....in that picture it is M. manson...he sang a food pyramid song! (he actually guest stared..heheh).
Song here:

[J_Riley]

Another vote for either Lock, stock & 2 smoking barrels or Snatch, both were freakin hilarious...

[Alicewave]

Anyone have a vote for funniest jackie chan movie of all time?

[Big Mike]

I'll second what J Riley said...Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels...or Snatch.

The Full Monty is a good comedy that I found was a les expensive DVD.

Another good DVD purchase was The Princess Bride...a clasic flick.

[Youkai]

......Ghostbusters.

[stormyva]

Jackie Chan:
Shanghai Noon
The Legend of the Drunken Master

[Xetox]

Snatch!! Classic movie, but u have to watch it about 3 times to understand what the hell Brad Pitt is even saying ;)

[Linds]

Someone mention Donny Darko???

[Xetox]

what the hell is donny darko?

Guess I will have to do a little surfin to see if I am missing out on something!

[Nanashi04]

Any Monty Python movie... The Holy Grail is a good one...

[XxRachxX]

jeez! i was gonna say monty python!! if you dont have it..........get it....................now!! amazon is calling you, lulling you towards the monty python section.........come here young child.....buy me! or ill nibble your bum!!! lol

[Youkai]

Linds, check my avatar...lol.

[Matt_K]

Xetox, i hears that Kevin Smith is in the middle of a movie right now, it is supposed to be a Drama/Comedy. Also, Jay is filming a movie right now aswell, i can't remember the name but when it comes to me, i will let you know. I have also heard the bad news about no more Jay and Silent Bob.. But i have faith, they will reunite one day :D

[Lisa]

jackie chan - Police story 1 (NOT SUPER COP), and "who am i"

lock stock & 2 smoking barrals was great along with snatch

[katev17]

haha Go Jackie Chan!! Shanghai Noon, I'd say... and someone said Boondock saints , that's a good one too..

Go with the South Park Movie so everytime you get in here you will hear "Blame Canada" in the back of your head

lol , You do know that song is making fun of Americans, right?

Speaking of which, if it's out on DVD yet (I don't know when it comes out) but Bowling for Columbine was good. It's not a complete comedy, but it's a REALLY good documentary with quite a few funny parts. [Anyone who's seen it: Did you have a lot more respect for Marilyn Manson as opposed to Charlton Heston, or was it just me??] Or The Big One!

Ummm... Haha Big Bully is a good classic one.

GHOSTBUSTERS! Yeaaa! HHHHMMmm.... other funny ones.... I can't think of anything else... If I remember, I'll let you know.

Yea I knew that Kevin was making a movie but was going to be a drama/comedy so I was kinda expecting somethign like chasing amy......I heard it was to be released late this year but I may be wrong.

I had no clue that Jay has himself a movie....do have any idea who wrote it?

[Matt_K]

The New Kevin Smith movie i believe is called "Jersey Girl" It stars, Ben Affleck, Jason Biggs, Liv Tyler, J'Lo, George Carlin and many more.

Jay's movie is called 'Game Night'. its written and directed by Shannon Christian..

"Tagline: Empire Records meets Cruel Intentions"

Shold be pretty good.. hopefully..

[katev17]

haha Empire Records: "SHOPLIFTEEEEErrRRRRrrrRRRRRR"

Good times... OOH What about Ferris Beuller's (sp?) Day off??

Kate

[Lisa]

Oh ya, don't forget Avalon

[Xetox]

Hmm Ben playing in a Kevin Smith movie, cant be ;)

Both sound good can't wait to see em!

Gotta love a good writer and Kevin Smith is that! And a movie with Jay in it just has to be good!

[Matt_K]

not a comedy, but a great movie, American History X.. Also, se7en, Kiss the Girls or Along Came a Spider!! I've found myself watching a lot of movies like these lately.. not sure why.. Anyone out there that could reccomend some good suspence/thriller type flicks for me? Sorry to ask a question in your post Meg, but i know you wont mind :D

[Grant vg]

Any Guy Richie film is amazing!!!

I agree with lock stock, snatch, boondock saints, blow, circus, all great movies!!!!!!!!!!

[fubar]

FUBAR!!! It's a guys comedy, but hilarious! Givr!

[alex_33]

I would have to say the 3 funniest movies of all time are: Wayne's world, Strange BRew and Dumb and Dumber

I cant never get tired of those movies :p

[Alicewave]

Wow this thread was ages ago. I ended up going with Donnie Darko...weird haven't watched it for the second time yet but I might, and Accidental Spy: crappy movie but EXCELLENT scene of Jacki Chan running nude through a turkish marketplace why performing kung fu stunts on his enemies, all while attempting to shroud "key" areas but not always succeeding! ;)

[Bryce Masuk]

I think an awesome movie is fight club but you got what you wanted but i dont care i am adding this on anyways

[mykee]

If you are looking for a timeless comedy, definitely look into Blazing Saddles. Mel Brooks' humour has got to be up there in the top three of all time. This movie was done in 1975, before politically correctness, so it is funny as hell, I've probably seen it 100 times and I piss my pants almost every time, oh yeah, and I'm continent, so that might explain it.

[Leo-Land]

Dumb and Dumber, Escanaba in da Moonlight or Friday.

[katev17]

AHHHH! STRANGE BREW! I love that movie, and have it on DVD... Bob and Doug MacKenzie are too awesome for words. I could watch that movie for years on end.. AHahhah.. hoser.

Kate

[ranmasatome]

okay i just skimmed thru and i may have missed some... but
If you are looking for a funny movie...
HOW CAN NO ONE MENTION "SUPERTROOPER"!!!!!!!!
go watch it..its funny..

[Scotty Allen]

There are too many to list, but I have to put "Titanic" way up there. The scene where the boat was going down and that guy jumped off and clunked his head on the propeller was just hilarious.

[ThEmAdHaTtEr]

Lol when i was halfway through reading the first post I was thinking Jay n Bob strike back...Anyway, clerks maybe? Funny movie, mall rats too.

[Jeromerules]

LEt's See...... Robin Hood Men in tights........ Dumb and Dumber....... Caveman is another good one...... Anything with Leslie nielson....... Pootie Tang in my opinion is hilarious..... Tooo many good movies out there. Just gotta look. Monty pythons quest for the holy grail.... I dunno......

[Alicewave]

LOL I loooved Supertroopers!

[nellie]

Drop Dead Fred...
I watched it everyday in high school!
