Something about Mary
National Lampoons Vacation
Nutty Professor
Me, Myself and Irene
Superbad


All from different eras of my life.

Animal House and Airplane! come to mind. I still laugh heartily watching John Belushi go through the cafeteria line, overloading his tray, shoving entire burgers down his throat, slurping down Jell-O, and taking bites out of food then returning that food to the shelf.

Right at the end of my junior year in high school, I went to the old Meyerland Theater and saw an advance preview showing of Gremlins. I laughed so hard and out loud during the barroom scene with critters flashing others, picking a snotty nose, sticking a finger in an electrical outlet ...

Dumb and dumber had to be amazing in theaters. I was only 9... But I do remember seeing it on the marquee as showing.

Dumb and Dumber the first watch in the theater.

This. Saw a sneak preview while at A&M and I remember telling everyone I had to go see it again so I could catch what I missed because we laughed over so many jokes.

Man, I recognize AF as a classic. But it was never one I LOLd at. Try watching Gremlins again now...it just doesn't hold up IMO. I found it pretty boring, but my 10 year old self loved it.

Something About Mary

I was too young to get the hair scene, but the dog flying out the window had me rolling.

---

And when the neighbor got into the speed and was cleaning?!? Ha ha ha!

Yes, the Ace Ventura 2 rhino scene is another one for me.

Black Dynamite

I almost died the first time I saw the scene in Monty Python where the king of swamp castle orders the guards to keep his son from escaping.


Also the rest of the movie.

The Hangover, Superbad, and Dodgeball were the funniest, best in theatre experiences that I can remember for a comedy. All were so perfect for when they came out and landed great with the crowds.

I distinctively remember laughing so hard during Dumb and Dumber that I had trouble breathing. Easily the funniest thing I've ever seen in a theater.

Dumb and Dumber
Happy Gilmore
Eurotrip
Out Cold

American Pie
The Hangover

Gremlins is just one of many movies that do not hold up. Was funny at the time.
