I have a terrific friend who is coming home from the hospital tomorrow to recuperate from heart surgery. Her doctors say that this kind of surgery triggers feelings of sadness and depression. So I want to put together a list of the 20 funniest movies to send her family. I am trying to come up with a truly inspiring list. However, I need your collective genius.
If you got two minutes, would you post the funniest movies you have ever seen?
Here is my first brainstorm:
The Full Monty
Waking Ned Devine

Trading Places
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Greenfingers
Calender Girls
