when I'm channel-surfing I always stop on these:

Fifth Element
Conan the Barbarian
Blazing Saddles (if not a sanitized version)
Forbidden Planet
She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
Dancing At The Blue Iguana(not fun aside from a cameo by Burt Reynolds, but Darryl Hannah, Sandra Oh, Jennifer Tilly and others poledancing...)

Oh, and Buckaroo Banzai

Let's see... ditto to Fifth Element, Armageddon, and Knight's Tale. I also have a terrible weakness for romance movies, although I've been getting better about them.

For laughs it would be....

Monty Python's Life Of Brian + Holy Grail
Dogma, Jay + Silent Bob Strike Back
Wallace + Gromit Curse Of The Were-Rabbit
Fargo, Oh Brother, Big Lebowski
Toy Story 1+2
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead
Blazing Saddles
Shaun Of The Dead + Hot Fuzz

Just coz I get a kick out of them (not necessarily coz they are fun)....
Raiders
Lethal Weapon 1+2
Leon
Thankyou For Smoking

S'all I can think of now.

Classic tales of governmental & religious corruption right from the start of true civilization.

Curious... how is Lethal Weapon 2 considered by you a strictly 'fun' movie? That movie takes an emotional toll on me... or do I take it too seriously?

I like to watch Cleopatra 2525. Its a hoot. Gorgeous women into action adventure. I like the way they leap around. Doing summersaults in corridors by leaping against the wall and kicking off. It looks great, but makes no sense. And jumping down those endless shafts. You don't see that on any Star Trek or Stargate series. Gotta love the outfit they wear too.
