Tequila Shooter Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Today I was looking at a post that mentioned the movie Johnny Dangerously from 1984. I'd forgotten that one, but I remember I used to have it on VHS. So, what's your favorite old (before the Snowflakes took over) movie. Stupid, funny, or any combination. I still love Dodgeball and Blazing Saddles if for nothing else than the beans scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Slade Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I have never laughed harder at a movie then I did the first time I saw Blazing Saddles And does "O Brother! Where Art Thou?" count as a comedy? Love that one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Saw Blazing saddles in a theater on a date night between marriages, laughed my butt off then and still do when it gets mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp SASS#1628L Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Without a doubt, Young Frankenstein, followed closely by The Great Race, then Caddyshack (mainly because of Rodney Dangerfield). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassnetguy50 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Abbot and Costello or Way Out West for old comedy. My Name Is Nobody has some great comedy that beats Blazing Saddles for an individual scene. Blazing Saddles is better for constant laughs, as expected from a Mel Brooks movie. Maybe 1941 for a modern movie. Office Space gets honorable mention because technical issues with office equipment is a universal truth. Is A Million Ways To Die In The West considered a millennial movie with Seth MacFarland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Well, this movie is not really “old,” as such......1983.....37 years ago? I guess that’s “old,” huh? Funniest movie ever, for me. ”NATIONAL LAMPOON’S VACATION” - 1983 Chevy Chase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 lt's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Funniest Movie ever for me. First saw this movie in a theater at Fort Bliss, Texas. I had my foot propped on the back of the chair in front of me. I got to laughing so hard at one scene ("I told you we shouldn't move to California") that my foot slipped off and I accidentlly kicked a little boy in the back of the head. When he turned around, rubbing his head and looking at me, I couldn't even apologize for my additional laughter. My stomach muscles hurt for three days from having laughed so hard.

Raylan Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Old movies - Arsenic and Old Lace (Cary Grant, Peter Lorre) - The Thin Man (William Powell, Myrna Loy) - Duck Soup (Marx Brothers)- classics with style, funny and snappy. Movies my kids say are old - Young Frankenstein - Airplane - stylish, funny, and quick witted. Honorable mention - Caddyshack (the best Rodney Dangerfield) and The Pink Panther with Peter Sellers. Western - Evil Roy Slade and McClintock. Honorable mention - not really a comedy per se but many funny scenes - The Quiet Man. Amended to add per Pat's post - Monty Python's Holy Grail and The Princess Bride - shouldn't have left those off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
