For me I just love the home alone films specially home alone 2 simply because of Tim Currey
"Madam they are thousands of parasites armed to the teeth with."

I like the Home Alone movies too.
Others that I watch whenever they are broadcast are the ones starring both Doris Day and Rock Hudson. I'm also a fan of most of the Pink Panther movies, especially A Shot in the Dark (I know that the scenes with Cato are racist but they are still hilarious - sorry but they are, being a spoof of the fight between Marco and Shaw's "houseboy" Chunjin in the original Manchurian Candidate).
Some westerns make my list, especially The Hallelujah Trail, Cat Ballou and They Call Me Trinity. The last mentioned has not been broadcast in Britain for many years, as far as I know. Perhaps TalkingPictures TV will get around to it.
Another one right up there is Carry On Up The Khyber (which is, for the benefit of members unfamiliar with English culture, rhyming slang for "ass" or "arse" as the English pronounce it). The scene with the "malfunctioniing" Maxim Gun reminds me of whenever I feel that God has it in for me, (They call it a Maxim Gun but it is more like a Gatling Gun - Pedantic Mary.) I count Kelly's Heroes as a great comedy too, although "real" war interrupts it from time to time.
Billion Dollar Brain, starring Michael Caine as the downtrodden agent treated better by the Soviets than by his British employers, is the only spoof among the Harry Palmer films but the final scene may be the funniest in any movie.
Cheech and Chong up in smoke.The scene where they call the police sergeant calling in code name Lard Ass makes me laugh.Blazing Saddles,the scene they are eating beans and farting

Funny, may not be may favorite one though.

Hospital what is it?
It's a big building filled with patients and doctors. But that is not important right now.
Man has sex change marrys self.
I am familiar with it.

I like Jim Carrey movies:
Pet Detective 1 & 2
The Mask
Liar, Liar
Me, Myself, and Irene
I am sure I have more, just can't think of them off-hand.
He does a great job in a serious role in the horror movie, The Number 23. Numerologists should get a kick out of it, but the whole plot has some nice twists. I keep expecting Carrey to do something outrageous, but it is a serious role and he plays it well.
The Pink Panther films with Peter Sellers
Love the scene with the monkey where he doesn't notice the bank being robbed!
Bill and Ted films were excellent

Peter Sellers is THE Clouseau. Steve Martin doesn't do a bad job, but Peter Sellers nailed it.

need I say more?
The monty python films are brilliant arnt there
The 2000s was my carefree childhood so all of my favorite movies from that time. Rat Race (2001) is the best comedy for me.
Yup Airplane, police squad, Galaxy Quest I can watch over and over again.
Opening credits of police squad is just funny but this also deserves a honourable mention
Police academy
"proctor the only reason you are with me for is because your sister married my brother"
"I know that makes us family sir"
I guess it's a spoof of the genre, but I think the Naked Gun films are hilarious! :D

Spaceballs. That is the OG of spoof movies for me.
But there are a ton worthy of mention. The Hot Shots movies, the Scary Movie movies, Airplaine, Police Squad, Naked Gun... basically anything with Leslie Nielsen... Repossessed is especially good, lol. National Lampoons Loaded Weapon... They don't make those kinds of movies anymore, sadly. I think because modern movies aren't well known enough to spoof. Which kind of says something about modern movies.
Mel Brooks' High Anxiety. He spoofed all the great Hitchcock films in that, like Psycho and The Birds.

Mel Brooks is the GOAT. "The Producers" is one of his greatest. The guy knows how to spoof.
Naked Gun 2 1/2 has a lot of sly humor.
Quote from: ChrissyRyan on September 22, 2024, 11:49:47 AMNaked Gun 2 1/2 has a lot of sly humor.
I think the title of the film itself is funny.

It has similar humor as what can be found in the Airplane movies.
Mel brooks is awesome at spoof
Blazing saddles
Robin hood men in tight
Austin Powers movies seem fun to watch for me.
The Naked Gun movies are an extension of the "Police Squad" TV series. If you ever get the chance, check it out. It's awesome.
I never got into Austin Powers. I have no idea why not. Those movies just didn't do it for me. I think maybe because I'm a Brit. I found "Johnny English" funnier.
If you want to laugh at horror you can never go wrong with
The scary movie films

I love Rowan Atkinson.
Mr. Bean and even
Bean, The Movie.
He could just stand still doing nothing and I would laugh at him. :laugh:

Honey, you need to get into Blackadder. That will have you set for a long time. <3
Also "Not the 9 O'clock news". I doubt you folks got much of that over there but it was some of Rowan at his best. I agree, the guy is a comedy genius. He can crack you up without ever saying anything.

Shriek if you know what you did last Friday the 13th
These movies are actually better than the movies they're spoofing. :D
Austin Powers tent scene. If you say you did not laugh, I will not believe it.
