The first two Pink Panther movies.  The third was okay, but things declined rapidly from there.

:lol: I love Clue but sometimes I think I'm the only person who ever saw it :D I just love the way their attitude to murder changes as the film goes on. :D

You what? The Pink Panther Strikes Again the fourth PP movie (with Sellers in it at least) is probably the funniest of the lot. Maybe it's just the whole Dreyfus going mad and trying to take over the world thing that appeals to me but I loved everything about that movie.

Especially the scene where all the worlds assassins attempt to assassinate Clouseau.

The Pink Pather itself on the other hand I found a little weak. Sellers is hardly in it as the movie concentrates on David Niven's character.

Err... Dr. Strangelove (we're talking about the Kubrik one, right?) is not supposed to be a "funny" movie...
Or better, it falls in the same "funny" cathegory as fahrenheit 911

That "funny" category is still funny. The most potent humor is derived from things that are really not funny at all. We laugh so we don't cry or scream. Dr. Strangelove was most definitely intended to make us laugh.

Now, Fail Safe, which follows the same story as Dr. Strangelove, is not funny.

That was the one that was made recently on what looks like video tape, right.  It was star studded?
So as through a glass, and darkly

Many names, but always me.

Fail Safe? Nah, that was made very shortly after Dr. Strangelove.

Dr Strangelove is 'black' humour in the old sense of the word - It's dying out now, I think Donnie Darko was a good attempt at revival, but most stuff like Dude where's my car? rely on a less intelligent crude slapstick which degrades the art of humour imho...:ick:

:nervous: Sorry. Listening to that song again....

Anyway. Funny films. Hmmm...

Spinal Tap
Everything by the Cohen Brothers (speaking of which, they're making a film about The Jesus!! :D:eek::cool: )
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python's Life of Brian (He's not the Messiah! He's a very naughty boy! Now F**k off!)
Dogma
Evil Dead II (I find this film soooo funny....)
Some Like it Hot
Shaun of the Dead (almost as good as Spaced)

I dunno... I prefer series to films when it comes to comedy. Though that could just be because British TV comedy is so good....
