I love older comedies. Someone reminded me today of the movie Dude Where's My Car.... I actually love silly humor... Probably why I also liked...

1. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
2. History of the World, Part I
3. Airplane
4. National Lampoons Vacation (all of them)
5. There's Something About Mary
6. The Jerk
7. Beverly Hills Cop


These are all that come to mind right now, but I KNOW there are more. Anyone got a favorite comedy that is long forgotten in time?

    Bridgekeeper: Hee hee heh. Stop. What… is your name?

    King Arthur: It is ‘Arthur’, King of the Britons.

    Bridgekeeper: What… is your quest?

    King Arthur: To seek the Holy Grail.

    Bridgekeeper: What… is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

    King Arthur: What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

    Bridgekeeper: Huh? I… I don’t know that. [he is thrown over]

    Bridgekeeper: Auuuuuuuugh.

    Sir Bedevere: How do know so much about swallows?

    King Arthur: Well, you have to know these things when you’re a king, you know.

    I remember spending what seemed like a whole day watching the Police Squad marathon.... And laughed my *kitten* off at every ending they did when everyone tried to stay still as they rolled the credits....
