                                           Movies

The Full Monty (1997)- I absolutely love this movie! It made me laugh and it was a heartwarming film about unemployed men trying to make a go at being strippers Smiley Very Happy

Strictly Ballroom (1992)- A talented, campy and flamboyant male dancer needs a new dance partner and a shy/nerdy girl is his pick.  An unlikely duo shines on the dance floor.  A very funny and heartwarming Australian rom com.

There's Something about Mary (1998)- Ben Stiller's character reconnects with his high school crush played by Cameron Diaz and there are a ton of guys who want to be with her.  Very funny and raunchy!

Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)- A hilarious mockumentary about Mid-western beauty pageants.  Kirstie Alley at her finest! 

Office Space (1999)  -a relateable and darkly funny comedy about working in an office environment.  You'll never look at staplers the same way again! 

Best in Show (2000) such a funny mockumentary about dog show competitiors- twisted humor and laugh out loud funny!  I love the late Fred Willard! 

 



@SportyShorty07 Welcome!🥰 I have only seen one on your list thus far, and am looking forward to watching several of them! I SO appreciate that you provided a brief description of each!!!😁

 

THANK you SO much for caring to share!🤗

@SandySparkles  I'm so glad that you've enjoyed the recommendations from all of us! It was such a great idea for you to come up with this forum thread because I'm taking note of a lot of the movies that people listed and I'll try to watch some too Smiley Very HappyHeart.  Now I just need to make some popcorn and watch a movie today.

Re: Need Recommendations For A Comedy Movie Or Series, Old Or New.😊

@SandySparkles - I like the series of The Naked Gun movies featuring Leslie Nielsen, who is a brilliant comedian, in my opinion. He can make you laugh until you cry. The movies are:

The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!

The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear

The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult 

 

Apparently, Liam Neeson is going to star (as Frank Dreben, Jr.) in a new Naked Gun movie set to be released in 2025, but I cannot believe he could possibly be as funny as Leslie Nielsen. We shall see. 

 

I also like a couple of movies with Melissa McCarthy, also a very physical comedian with a gift for comedy  I adore her movies Spy, The Heat (also starring Sandra Bullock), and she is also great in Bridesmaids. Some of the scenes will almost make your sides split you will be laughing so hard.
