What are your best top 5 or 10 (or name as many as you want) choices?
And preferibly it has to be 21st century comedies....🙂

Cool... haven't heard alot of the mentioned above. Napoleon dynamite is a good choice, although kinda goofy movie hehe. Then dumb and the dumber should be called the classic comedy. But I always thought first version with Jim Carey was better than the next one. Meet the parents was pretty funny, only saw first half of the movie though but I laughed my butt off!!

I feel I'm such a loser I never got to see the hangover! :p I'm sure it's one of the top comedies between now and 2000

Oh Martin Lawrence is the best! I loved death at the funeral and all big mama movies haha Jim Carey is just too goofy I think lol.

I watched Anger Management like 5 times and never got bored. Something about Adam Sandler, I can listen to his sarcastic lines over and over again. And never get bored

I definitely would say my favorite comedies are from before 2000 but I tried to come up with comedies I liked that came after the year 2000. Looking back I couldn't find any that could compare to earlier stuff but here goes:

Mean Girls
Shaun of the Dead
Saved!
I Heart Huckabees
Rat Race
All of the Margaret Cho standup movies
A Dirty Shame

(and about Eddie Murphy + Gene Wilder = comedy that will bring you to tears funny!, I totally agree)

Dward and Heroic guy i'm so glad you both love Eddie Murphy too! He hardly gets mentioned on this board, such a shame.
