Katie's Top Ten Comedies

1) "Dumb and Dumber" What can I say about this movie? I, along with most other people of my generation, have had it memorized since I was in middle school. The most quotable movie ever, and still hilarious today.

2) "The Princess Bride" Hilarious characters and writing. I love that it is family friendly, too. Some of the funniest one-liners of any movie ever.

3) "The Big Lebowski" Okay, this one's not exactly family-friendly, but MAN is it funny. I love the Dude as a character, and any movie that requires me to drink a white russian every time I watch it is okay by me.

4) "Step Brothers" I know this one might be a controversial pick amongst Will Ferrell fans, but Gib and I agree that it is hilarious. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are SO funny together. If you don't like it, you have to call me "Night Hawk".

5) "Three Amigos!" Really a classic. This movie is so funny that it's worth having "My Little Buttercup" stuck in your head for DAYS after you watch it.
6) "Airplane!" I love this movie. No matter who you are or what kind of humor you like, you WILL laugh at this one. I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.

7) "Blazing Saddles" Mel Brooks is a genius. (Apparently, I am not, since I just tried to spell it "genious". Yikes.) I love spoofs, and this one is perfect.

8) "What About Bob?" Bill Murray is so good in this movie. "I'm a sailor! I sailed!" If you haven't seen it, take baby steps to the movie store and get it.

9) "Waiting for Guffman" I really love all of Christopher Guest's 'mockumentaries', but this one takes the cake. The characters are so ridiculous.

10) "Elf" Another family-friendly one. Will Ferrell, Christmas, syrup, and smiling. What more do you need?

Honorable Mentions (in no particular order):
"A Fish Called Wanda"
"The Jerk"
"Liar, Liar"
"The Sandlot"
"A Christmas Story"
