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.

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.

I hate purity, I hate goodness!I don't want any virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones.

But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.

I totally agree with Monkey Beard on Anchorman...

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

"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."
