Me, too! I think it belongs to a friend's friend.
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!!
Anything with Eddie Murphy, and Gene Wilder is super funny too. See no evil hear no evil is ridiculously funny.
anything with eddie murphy, martin lawrence, and katt williams....oh my favorite Jim Carrey!
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)

Okay, a bit off-topic, but after watching a bunch of the older skits I saw of it when I was a kid, no wonder I never found them funny.
