15. School of Rock
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.
14. The Waterboy
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. This certainly isn’t a family movie, but you will find yourself laughing uncontrollably with guilty pleasure as you watch this film. This movie has also spawned many sequels, which are also quite funny.
Bean’s Holiday and Miss Congeniality are my fave.
I will use this list, definitely
I’m happy to see that you have all my favourite comedies on this list….from the classics (Police Academy,Bad Boys, Roxanne)…to the new age comedies(Ice Age). But I’m VERY disappointed that you don’t have MADAGASCAR….it’s one of the funniest movies ever made!!!
Nice List!
I like that you included a lot of Mel Brooks films, but my favorites from him are not on there. “Young Frankenstein,” and “Robin Hood: Men in Tights,” I’d also add “Mrs. Doubtfire,” and possibly , “Rat Race.” Thanks for giving Monty Python due credit as well.
Happy to see Superbad on this list!! I am McLovin’!!
You have to add some ben stiller movie’s in there like meet the parents, meet the fockers, heartbreak kid & much more.
What about Young Frankenstein, American Graffiti, Mrs. Doubtfire, It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, My Big Fat Greek Wedding?
Oh My Big Fat Greek Wedding was hilarious! :D
2 words.. wedding + crashers.
I agree, Zac. Any comedy with Owen is funny.
Lost some credibility with the Wild Hogs pick.
