I've been curling up and watching a lot of films lately, having never been really bothered about watching movies.
I want to see comedy films, but I'm having trouble finding good ones.
I'm watching some for 20 minutes or so before realising they're shit and that I've wasted my time on them.

So, if you please I would like to know what comedy films, I mean films that are comedies and not just catagorised as such, you could recommend.

But please don't suggest ones I've already seen thank you coz that's just pointless and not helpful at all.

Are you looking for classic or comedies from the last few years?

Maybe an idea to list the ones you've seen?
 

Watch Anchorman followed by another viewing of Anchorman

Anything by Judd Apatow is currently my favourite new comedies (minus Drillbit Taylor...which he didn't write...but still Produced and sucked none the less). Forgetting Sarah Marshall was hilarious, Superbad ect.. ect..
Oh yea! And here is one movie no one seems to have ever seen when I mention it Half Baked. I'm not a pot smoker but maaaaaan the movie is funny. I've seen it several times and it still good for a laugh.

Anything Curt, so long as it's genuinely funny.

Ground Hog Day, Scrooged, and Rushmore is a remarkably good Bill Murray trilogy

Kentucky Fried Movie an often forgotten classic.

Surprisingly funny in a crappy sort of ironic way. Hudson Hawk.

Surprisingly jsut funny Bill and Ted (both films, no really they are funny in a bone headed sort away.)

The ASDA of satire.
"Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you."� Which is exactly what happened to Winston Smith. His rebellion was not one that was foolish and too outspoken. He silently tried to defeat the Party for his personal happiness, and in the end it cost him everything he had fought for, and his love for Julia. He had learned to love Big Brother, which was his ultimate fear when trying to live a life of individuality. The Party had defeated him.

I totally agree with Monkey Beard on Anchorman...

Try Dodgeball too. Silly but amusing, and some classic one liners.

Conspiracy theorist.

"Every joke is a tiny revolution," thought George Orwell. "Whatever destroys dignity, and brings down the mighty from their seats, preferably with a bump, is funny."
