That is one of my all time favorites.

I don't think I have seen that one? Is it one of those you rent from "The Back Room"?

It was one of those that you would go and rent a vcr from the store days.

I think the first movie that I watched from a store and had to rent a vcr was Escape From New York. That was many moons ago. Porky's was one of my favorites also from years ago.

I think one of the oldest one I recall seeing on VCR (way back when you rented the machine because you were too poor to buy one) was the movie "Sudden Impact" with Clint Eastwood

The Eastwood movie I like best has gotta be The Outlaw Josey Wales....

Suggestions for My Cousin Vinny and Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World are very good. 2 of my favorites.

How about Porky's? Simply hysterical. The scene in the principal's office may be the all-time classic scene.

comedy is really hard to debate because sense of tastes really vary. I think the ones up there are a great selection.

I went with Young Frankenstein, but hard to argue against some of the others.

Couldn't quote kornbread.

The Outlaw Josey Wales IS the best Eastwood movie.  Period.

Idiocracy has been on tv every night.

Ergo, the wife & I have been quoting it ad nauseum.

"Go away, I'm 'batin'..."

What no American Pie, Porkeys or 1941?

Could you imagine the controversy if someone made Blazing Saddles today?

Yes.  It would be ugly.

I would still laugh my ass off and still pay money to see it, though.  One of the funniest movies ever made.

Plus, I will never lose my sense of humor -- even for the sake of being politically correct.

Nope. But it works as double-reference in that regard.

That is an obscure reference. I've never seen to many Paul Newman movies.

You're missing out! Among his best:

Hombre
Hud
The Hustler
Cool Hand Luke

Amen!!!

Newman?  Ahhhhh.....I have to go with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and the Sting.

Dang that man was a great actor -- and so good looking.

Actually, has anyone ever seen The Verdict?

I've seen it. I do love me some Paul Newman and he was excellent in it. I'm also a fan of the late Sidney Lumet, who directed that and other fantastic movies (12 Angry Men, Dog Day Afternoon, and Network, among others).

I just recently saw Newman in The Hustler, which I also really enjoyed.

I'll probably watch Cool Hand Luke tonight. It's funny, because I bought it last Friday and now this came up. I guess I'm going to have to educate myself and I'll get back to you guys and gals tomorrow.

The Brothers Solomon is hilarious.

It stars Will Arnet and Will Forte as two brothers, who want to have a baby. Enter Kristen Wiig... and a lot of stupid... and enjoy.
