How about some classics?

A Night at the Opera. Or really any Marx Brothers film but this is probably the flat out funniest.

Young Frankenstein - A nice light early Mel Brooks movie but often with the funny.

Animal House - the pinnacle of crude humor.

As has been stated Airplane - just plain silly.

Sorry to go with the obvious, but:

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
The Mask
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey

Delicatessen is a great dark comedy, but if you ain't a fan of subtitled French films, you may wanna give it a miss

Also, anything staring Adam Sandler is a safe bet for hilarity! The Longest Yard and Little Nicky would be my fav's. Although Billy Madison is bloody funny, too.

I'm surprised nobody's said any of these: Kingpin, There's Something About Mary, Shallow Hal, Dodgeball, A Fish Called Wanda, or any Monty Python movies other than the Holy Grail.

Office Space was great, I have 67 pieces of flare

Ben Stiller's an automatic funny (same with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn sometimes).

comedies really are hit and miss. i read a few listed above where i thought "oh yeah, that WAS hilarious" but there are many recommendations here that i absolutely loathed.

i won't mention any names of course, cause i have no idea if people like gladiator32 will be offended by me.... :P

You can't talk about comedy without the Marx Brothers:
Duck Soup
Horsefeathers
A Day at the Races

I'd also repeat votes for:
Dodgeball (featuring Alan Tudyk)
A Knight's Tale (Alan Tudyk again)
Galaxy Quest
The Princess Bride

I somehow forgot this one, which we've also shelled out money to own:

L.A. Story

Not as successful a movie as it should've been, I think -- very funny, sweet, slightly dated but dead-on lampoon of circa 1990 L.A.

I did mention "A Fish Called Wanda" -- almost anything with Kevin Kline in it is worth a shot.

Enthusiastic second for "Blazing Saddles", "Groundhog Day", and almost any Marx Brothers.

In fact "Groundhog Day" and "L.A. Story" would make an interesting double feature -- both are romantic comedy fantasies starring comic actors (who featured on "Saturday Night Live" in the 1970s) as TV weathermen!
