Definitely The Big Lebowski.
I've never seen that! Love Jeff Bridges.
Definitely a shout out to Dr. Strangelove. And Old School. 40-Yr-Old-Virgin was friggin' funny too. Oh and Jackass the movie - well I kind of alternated btw laughing and grimacing. There you go - now you know my level of humor hehe.
Noises Off. I laughed my ass off in the theater.
Fatal Instinct
A paraody of Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct, and several other thriller/detective stories. Some of the lines that Armad Asante say had me rolling...he is the most straight, straight man I think I've ever seen in a comedy.
Me, Myself, and Irene
Murder By Death
The Cheap Detective
Anything written by a Monty Python alumni
Anything written by Christopher Guest or Eugene Levy

love harold lloyd, even better than chaplin imo
L'Atalante is something of a surprise pick to me, Light Wizard.
While it has some amusing sequences, I didn't think of it as a comedy particularly. But how ever you classify it, it is quite possibly the best movie I have seen this year. Okay, I got to it a little late.....
Weirdest film
I recently saw Miss Castaway and the Island Girls and was in for a surprise. Not becasue it was a good film, but because it was weirder than I ahd imagined (with Joe Millionaire and Michael Jackson in one film, that say something). I found it actually entertaining because it tries to glue a record number of references to other films in the flimsy plot. The films that I noticed were:
Raiders of the Lost Ark (the Ark)
Jurassic Park (Jurassic Porc)
Austin Powers (Mike Myers look-a-like)
Airplane (nervous co-pilot)
The Sixth Sense (I see dead people/celebreties)
Miss Congeniality (A miss that's with the FBI)
Castaway (PedEx packets on desert Island, etc.)
Caveman (People transporting giant egg)
Planet of the Apes (the Apes)
The Perfect Storm (the Perfect Storm)
ET (toy, UFO)
Star Wars (robot)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (people in UFO)
Titanic (lifebuoy and "I'm the King of the World")
Jaws (giant shark)
And some I am not sure of:
Lord of the Flies (pig hunt)
Die Hard (reporter in plane toilet)
Time Bandits (pulling giant plug)
I am sure you can add to that... can you?
