What's your vector Victor?

I just realised I've never seen Blazing Saddles...

What is wrong with me?

Haha. Tough call between that and Young Frankenstein. Actually there's so many good comedies out there, it's tough to just pick one or two

If we’re counting dark comedy (which I do), it’s probably Parasite or Another Round. Of the more conventional types, it’s likely Monty Python and the Holy Grail or His Girl Friday.

Guess I will have to mention this underrated gem ... Life of Brian. Joking aside, some movies I want to mention are tucker and dale vs evil, death at a funeral 2007, and what we did on our holiday.

Pure capitalism

The funniest movie I have ever watched, hands down, is Noises Off.

Of the last 15 years, the only ones I really go back to are the Jump Street films and The Dictator.

Tropic Thunder. We don't negotiate with terrorists!

Clerks. It hit too close to home when it came out, I was working at a convenience store, and yeah, the crazy was real, ha. Better off Dead - I want my two dollars! Clue.

If I have to pick one, then the 1955 Ealing comedy The Ladykillers.

I know that the Coen brothers did a remake, and I am a fan of most of theirs, but I have no interest in this remake. The original could not be topped, IMHO.
