Id like to start this thread to help others possibly find some good comedy gems that are not the usual suspects people normally throw out. So i don't want to hear recommendations like Dumb & Dumber, Office Space, Tommy Boy, Airplane, Holy Grail etc. Those are all very well known comedies and im sure most here have seen all the above.


Ill start with 2 great ones that always bring a smile to my face as well as many laughs.

Undercover Brother. It seems like I'm the only person in the world who has seen this.

How to Marry a Millionaire

Marilyn Monroe is pretty underrated as a comedic actress; she's hilarious in that movie, playing a all-but-blind girl who refuses to wear her glasses (because, obviously, "guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses").

The Ocean's trilogy (more specifically, Ocean's 11).
Snatch
Along Came Polly (Mostly for character mannerisms, not the actual setups and punch lines).

Nothing to Lose - Martin Lawrence and Tim Robins make a good duo.

4 Rooms - Tim Roth gives a great performance. Just turn it off for the fourth room if you don't like Tarantino.

PCU - Jeremy Piven before anyone knew who he was.

When I was a kid, maybe 8 or 9 years old, PCU used to be on HBO all the time. I don't know how many times I watched it growing up. Of the 90s college stoner movies, that one aged pretty well. Still a pretty good watch even today. Made me a Piven fan from a very young age.

Philip Seymour Hoffman stole the show

Agreed. First time I saw it, I wasn't real familiar with PSH, and thought he was just trying to be Jack Black, but more incorrect I could not have been. PSH's character in that movie is great. Alec Baldwin is great in it as well.

LET IT RAIN!!

Some good picks so far (I second four lions), but some are like the guys who post shit like "am I the only one who thinks "actress x" is hot?" While they name someone who is clearly good looking
