This movie was written specifically for Jack Black, and it paid off! Black provides an excellent comedic performance while the children, who are true musical prodigies, provide a stellar performance as well.

This hard-hitting comedy (yes, the pun is intended) with a southern flair tells the story of a sheltered boy that makes it big on the college football field.
13. Planes, Trains & Automobiles
You can’t go wrong with a movie starring John Candy and Steve Martin, and this just what this movie offers. Aside from one scene where the “f” word is used repeatedly, this is actually a pretty family-friendly film despite its R rating.
12. Airplane!
Airplane! is a classic film that spoofs disaster movies while also taking pokes at pop culture of the time. The fun wordplay and double meanings will keep you laughing. And, stop calling me Shirley (if you’ve seen this film, you know what I am referring to!).
11. American Pie
This modern day comedy classic follows four boys as they try to lose their virginity before they graduate from high school.
