Funniest pre-1980 movie you ever saw (comedy, Alan Arkin, Peter Falk, Robert Morse)

[LauraC]

Definitely, Slap Shot, followed by the original Out-Of-Towners. But neither would make my Top 10 Movie List.

Some Like it Hot....pure class.

[BigSwede]

I like swedish comedies from the 30s and 40s.
Also there were some good ones in the silent era.

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is the funniest movie ever made, and anyone who says different, I challenge you to a duel.

ANIMAL HOUSE is classic.

BLAZING SADDLES is fantastic until the last 15 minutes, when it all falls apart.

TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON is probably seen as politically incorrect these days, but I've always enjoyed it.

MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. Also falls apart in the last act, but the first 3/4 of the movie is great.

And I know I'm showing my American masculinity here, but THE THREE STOOGES never fail to make me laugh.

Car Wash hands down, the kids (under 30) I work with have never heard of the movie.
