Godfrey Daniels, all of the movies that W.C. Fields made.



W.C. Fields


From The Bank Dick:

Egbert Sousé: Og Oggilby... sounds like a bubble in a bathtub!

Egbert Sousé: Ten cents a share. Telephone sold for five cents a share. How would you like something better for ten cents a share? If five gets ya ten, ten'll get ya twenty. A beautiful home in the country, upstairs and down. Beer flowing through the estate over your grandmother's paisley shawl.
Og Oggilby: Beer?
Egbert Sousé: Beer! Fishing in the stream that runs under the aboreal dell. A man comes up from the bar, dumps $3,500 in your lap for every nickel invested. Says to you, "Sign here on the dotted line." And then disappears in the waving fields of alfalfa.

I love W. C. Fields!

My spouse can' say Ken without saying K-k-k-k-Ken.





And ja, sure now that Fargo movie, there, it's not half bad, eh?

 

[Free To Canoe]

Previous posts have done a good job of capturing my favorites.
Other potentials:
Mr. Mom
Annie Hall
Star Trek Movie (the one where they land in SF)

Three Stooges stuff is all great!
That Super Troopers trailer is great! Lots of scenes right out of my deranged childhood. Have to see it.

Another vote for Meet the Parents!

 

[Amethyst]

Classics that crack me up:

Marks Bros, Duck Soup
Bringing Up Baby
Some Like It Hot (very ahead of its time) "But you can't marry me, I'm a man!" "Well, nobody's perfect."

Newer movies:
There's Something About Mary "Frank and Beans!"
Stir Crazy
Ghost Busters
Little Miss Sunshine, which others have mentioned
Animal House
Blues Brothers especially the marvelous church scene
I see I am repeating others....

I like Fargo because I like quirky, well-made movies; it's just a little too ominous to be really comical.

Another vote for Meet the Parents!

I have a terrible memory when it comes to movies. That was another great one.

 

[samclem]

Blues Brothers especially the marvelous church scene

"We have to go meet the Penguin"

It's interesting how similar all the picks here are. Scarcely any of the "romantic comedy" junk that gets pushed so heavily.

Oh, I forgot to include Arsenic and Old Lace on my list

Star Trek Movie (the one where they land in SF) (snip)

Including one of my very favorite lines in any movie...

Dr. Gillian Taylor: Don't tell me, you're from outer space.
James T. Kirk: No, I'm from Iowa. I only work in outer space.

I just thought of Paper Moon. Ryan O'Neal, Tatum O'Neal and Madeline Kahn were outstanding. Crazy funny movie!

Referred to, in the Amethyst household, as "manipulative schlock." Well, OK, only Amethyst calls it that. Mr. Amethyst refers to such movies by the highly technical term, cr@p.

A few more that I really like:

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
Tin Cup

Coach

 

[MichaelB]

So many different types of comedy. Still, a few of my favorites

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Some Like it Hot

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

 

[LOL!]

Shaolin Soccer

Absolutely hilarious! The trailer just doesn't do it any justice though.

Has "Blazing Saddles" been mentioned?

 

[Purron]

Has "Blazing Saddles" been mentioned?

Yes, by bssc. However, this gem is sure worth a second mention

 

[Notmuchlonger]

YouTube - Blazing Saddles --Farting Cowboys

Thats what they do in Texas.

 

[Bestwifeever]

I truly hated Blazing Saddles when it first came out--just thought it was crude and stupid; although I adored Mel Brooks and all his other movies, I just didn't get it. Now when I watch it I just laugh from start to finish.

"It's Hedley!"

 

[BlondieMM]

You've all missed two of the best -- Stripes and Ferris Bueller's Day Off!!

 

[Lakewood90712]

Nothing but trouble.

The Stuff.

Men in Black ( The original).

History of the World (Mel Brooks).

The Magic Christian .

 

[redduck]

How about including:

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Tommy Boy

Silence of the Lambs

 

[Bestwifeever]

How about including:

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Tommy Boy

Silence of the Lambs

I'll give you the first two, especially Tommy Boy ("That's going to leave a mark")--but the last one?
