Without a doubt TOP SECRET

You´re right, Top Secret it is! Stir Crazy is close second...
Posted by Secret Admirer (Member # 3574) on :
Top Secret is ok, but Fletch or Caddyshack is more my style of comedy.

Spaceballs and Three Amigos are two of my favorite comedies!
Posted by saturnchick (Member # 7524) on :
Boy, this is hard, probably because there are so many different types of comedies. I guess that I will go with The Naked Gun.

hahahah lmao....these movies are really funny. Especially the Three Amigos - i can still recite what they had to say to summon the INVISABLE SWORDSMAN - find the singing bush 'Excuse me...are you the singing bush' - funniest line ive ever ever ever heard as a teenager!!!! Period. chip chip chip chip chip chip chip , neddieeeee, bang!! Just classic humor we dont get now.

Pee Wee's Big Adventure

Very tough call, since this was in a lot ways a peak time for comedy, and I sampled most of them. If I had to take one guess, it would have to be Spaceballs, with their no holds--or no windows for that matter either--barred approach to the whole picture. It defined me, hard as that may be to fathom ordinarily, and showed me more than any other film that the #1 rule of comedy is that there are no rules.

There are too many to count. But two spring to my mind immediately.
'The Gods Must Be Crazy' and 'Watch Out We're Mad'.
Saw both at the cinema, they are not common films that are aired much on TV, but have stuck in my memory.
Posted by Princess Pooh (Member # 5798) on :
Thinking about it, I think probably 'Watch Out We're Mad' might have been a 70s film. (God, am I really that old!!!!!!!! lol).
Posted by gordongecko (Member # 4685) on :
Caddyshack for me! Two of my all time favorites in that one, Bill and Chevy.

'The Gods Must Be Crazy' was hilarious-saw it in the theater too. N!xau died in 2003. So much trouble over a Coke bottle!

I think the first Police Academy & Bachelor Party deserve honorable mentions here...

"This is Spinal Tap" is the funniest 80s movie by far. I am completely mystified by "The Gods Must Be Crazy." It's basically the same crappy three jokes over and over, mostly filmed in misframed, barely in focus shots and edited with hedge clippers. It's the most overrated 80s movie. (Putting on a Kevlar vest because I know that I'm about to be fragged here.) :-) But I also know that I am in a tiny minority, judging by the number of folks who seem to really love it. To those folks, I dare them to defend the sequel. :-)

no need for kevlar vest crash as i am in agrement with you about the cutting of that movies although it really did make me laugh and a little confused at an age of 12. i dont find it that funny now either but i also didnt like spinal tap and havnt seen it since it first came out. And yes the sequel imo sucked big time. Actually have you got a spare vest?

I loved "The Toy" w' Richard Pryor as a kid...I still get quite a laugh out of it.

Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
We talked about Marilu Henner and that reminded me of Johnny Dangerously (1984) One of the funniest no doubt about that.
Posted by Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
this is kinda tough...but after narrowing down my list of favorite 80's comedies...Revenge of the Nerds would have to take the crown for me...Still love that movie even today.

Some people have no soul.

The New Kids. One of the best 80s teen movies. Unintentionally funny, thanks to James Spader and his gang.
Posted by Crash (Member # 7484) on :
I have no soul, Princess Pooh? :-) I think that I do. Proof: I've been to London quite a few times (and had too much to drink there quite a few times), I've stood a foot away from Nic Cage, I've chatted with Cate Blanchett, I have an original (long-since deactivated) Smell-O-Vision card from the 1982 John Water's classic, Polyester, and I have a Pinky and the Brain plaque in my office. I believe that indicates the presence of a soul...twisted, but still a soul. :-)
Posted by Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
i'll still stick to my pick..but again, there are many to choose from.

Malcolm. Unequivocally one of the most rich Australian comedies ever made.

Posted by Burnett (Member # 9924) on :
I once watched The Blues Brothers when I was very ill, and I couldn't stop laughing. Especially on the part when the car does this impossible backward flip. Very silly, I know, but I rewinded that part like 10 times and it stayed funny .
Also: This is Spinal Tap, Better Off Dead, Robocop, Conan the Barbarian ('Zamora!'), Commando and some Bill Murray movies.
