Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen of My Favorite Comedy Movies

1. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum… Zero Mostel at his best. Best Song - Everybody Ought to Have a Maid.
2. The Producers - the original with Zero Mostel (of course) and Gene Widler.
3. Elf and Kicking and Screaming - Will Ferrell is the best!
4. Trading Places - Dan Akroyd, Eddie Murphy and Jamie Lee Curtis are too funny!
5. Stripes, What About Bob? and Groundhog Day Who doesn’t love comic genius Bill Murray
6. Happy Gilmore - my favorite Adam Sandler Movie
7. Tommy Boy - What a comic duo, too bad Chris Farley is not longer with us.
8. Napolean Dynamite - I’m training to be a cage fighter
9. Strange Brew - Eh?
10. National Lampoon’s Vacation and Christmas Vacation - Classics!
11. Young Frankenstein - Sed - a - Give?
12. Monty Python and the Holy Grail - We are the knights that say Ni!
13. The Court Jester - I am a huge Danny Kaye fan! This is one of his best works!

Honorable Mention - Uncle Buck - John Candy was the best!

Of course this is just a few of my favorites!

    Fun list! I loved all of those! We could have a Thursday 13 on quotes from that movie! Good choice for the week!~

  2. A Knight's Lady Says:

    LOVE Danny Kaye. I have to agree with you, Court Jester is my favorite too.

  3. Dayngr Says:

    Great list!

  4. Anni Says:

    Very different sense of humor than mine. Monty Python is probably the only one that I would think about seeing, and Uncle Buck, because Dennis Cochram is in it. I think of “Funny Thing” as a musical, and have only seen it on stage.

    This is a great list. And I can remember watching A Funny Thing/Forum with my mom when I was a kid. Danny Kaye is terrific but I think my favorite movie of his is White Christmas. Great TT and happy Friday.
