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
Auntie Mame
Love Actually
Trading Places
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Greenfingers
Calender Girls
Saving Grace
How to Marry a Millionare
Bringing Up Baby
Indiscreet
The Philadelphia Story
The Seven Year Itch
My Favorite Wife
The Man Who Knew Too LIttle
Lilies of the Field
The Isle of Dogs
Blazing Saddles
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Young Frankenstein
The Producers
It’s A Mad Mad World
The Vicar of Dibley- BBC series. Careful with this one! Very, very silly and fun.
Additional votes for Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show.
Being There, The Princess Bride, Monty Python movies, Caddy Shack and Spinal Tap
Didn’t see anyone mention “The Great Race” with Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Peter Falk & Natalie Wood
I have always liked Carol Burnett and Tim Conway (as Dorf) from TV shows….I think they sell DVD’s from those old shows. All Danny DeVito movies are great fun.
Best of healing for your friend.
