In no particular order:

Blazin Saddles
Airplane
Harold and Kumar get the Munchies (aka Harold and Kumar go to White Castle)
Shaun of the Dead
There's something about Mary

I nearly put The Phantom Menace on the list but I decided it was more of a tragedy.

I watched Harold and Kumar but they weren't all that funny IMO.

I'll put Austin Powers at 1, 2, and 3, so the other two I guess should be, erm...

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry
Madagascar

But I'll say, British comedy shows are hell of a lot funnier than these movies.

I'm going to have to stop posting while under the influence - I like all those movies but now I'm stone cold sober they are by no means my top 5 - they would all be in the top 20 though!

The real top 5 would be:

Blazin Saddles
The Big Lebowski
Clerks 2
A Fish Called Wanda
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (it's where my name comes from!)

Grosse Point Blank, Life of Brian and I'm Gonna Git You Sucka would all feature highly too.

You're the first person I (sort-of) know who appreciates this film, or has even heard of it! I saw this in a cinema with a bunch of mates, one of whom has the most infectious laughs - made it all the more enjoyable!

1. The Groove Tube
2. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
3. Airplane
4. Planes, Trains and Automobiles
5. The Life of Brian
