Nothing left to do but laugh...

Comedies

It takes a lot for me to find a movie funny. Usually it’s not a comedy that does the trick, just funny moments in otherwise non-comedic films. Most comedies either try too hard or are aimed at 12-year-old boys…or both. In fact, there’s a couple of movies on this list that I didn’t even find all that funny the first time I saw them. Maybe I expect too much from comedies because I want a laugh in every scene. I guess it's the Airplane! effect. These movies are the ones that made me laugh out loud the most:

5. Saved! (2004) - "Us Christian girls have got to learn to protect ourselves. I mean, sure Jesus could restore my physical and spiritual virginity, especially if I lost it to some rapist, but who wants that? I’m saving myself for marriage and I’ll use force if necessary."

4. School of Rock (2003) – “Dude, I service society by rocking, OK? I'm out there on the front lines liberating people with my music!”

3. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) – “I’m in a glass case of emotion!!!”

2. O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) – “Oh, George, not the livestock.”

1. Best in Show (2000) – “And to think that in some countries these dogs are eaten.”
