Im bored and i want to see if people agree with me on this;
- Anchorman
- Grandma’s Boy
- Old Skool
- Road Trip
- Meet The Parents
Btw, this is a sort of work in progress I think. If anyone has better suggestions that would be great because my mind is totally blank.

Hey. This is an interesting list. Maybe you should adjust the headline to “Top 5 funniest Movies Since 2000″ because all of these films are very recent. Not that these films aren’t funny… I loved Anchorman and it is probably one of the funniest films in recent memory. But here’s a few other films I think should be worth considering: Borat, Superbad, Meet the Fockers, Zoolander, Dodgeball, Harold and Kumar, The 40 Year Old Virgin, and this might just be me, but I think Finding Nemo is hilarious.
But if it’s not just since the turn of the millenium, then I feel these films could be on your list: This Is Spinal Tap, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Princess Bride, Annie Hall, Animal House, Groundhog Day, and Clueless.
Those are just some of my suggestions. Everyone’s funny bone gets tickled differently. Let me know what you think.
Hmmm
Have to disagree
1. O’ Brother Where Art Thou
2. The Big Lebowski
3. Trading Places
4. The Commitments
5. South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut
Hey guys, you know what… I am totally ashamed of myself that i missed out some classics like Monty Python and Trading Places, Animal House and all the Woody Allen comedy stuff. shame shame shame…..
Keep the suggestions coming and we should post a reviewed list of the best films since…since….well lets see where it goes!!
Cheers guys

Oh, wait, can I take out Trading Places and replace it with Little Miss Sunshine?
I loved that movie!
Actually, a top 5 is just too difficult, maybe we should do Top 5s for each decade, that would be much easier…
Go rent, or even just buy, Wet Hot American Summer. Hands down, THE funniest movie I have ever seen. I literally have seen it AT LEAST 100 times, and I still crack up
You forgot Limmys comedy -
soon on telly folks.
Mark that is a brilliant idea btw. Lets do that, what decade to start from though because some really class comedy from the 50′s and 60′s (Some Like It Hot) etc….
Sasha, i have literally never heard of Wet Hot American Summer. Is it a porn movie? come on admit it! ill look it up. meanwhile, any suggestions yourself?
Dark Raven, oh aye…. everybody don’t forget Limmy! He’ll be on telly at some point!

Mark…i bow down to your movie knowledge. I thought I was good but to just pull all them and list them is something else so commendations for that.
im in shame, i put up a lazy effort of five movies…. ill put up the revised list.
I blame it on a misspent youth, and the fact that my student flat was round the corner from a video rental…
hahaha, what excuse have I got then?. I have one of those minds and i love movies. what uni did you go to?
Went to Dundee 1998-2002, then came home to Aberdeen for a Masters in 2003.
Loving movies is nothing that needs an excuse, unless it’s the wrong kind of movies…
I realise this may turn into a conversation in the comments section, happy to continue chatting about movies via email, you can get me at mmcdonald@aberdeencity.gov.uk
aye your probably right there.
How could you guys leave off “The Jerk”?
