This is still a work in progress, but hey, it's all good. These are movies that are funny, obviously. Not all of them are excruciatingly funny, not everyone will find all of them funny, and some of them may not even be meant to be funny. But funny they are.

I've seen this movie a bazillion times now, and it still makes me laugh. I love Lester's Possum Park! And in case you've forgotten, it takes 3 1/2 cups of sugar to get to the moon.

Corny, sure. But it's still my third-favorite musical movie. I have yet to see the dancing in this movie outdone. Yow. I love Don and Kathy and Cosmo, but Lena totally steals the show. "I can't STAN' him!" The movie preview in the middle of the movie is certainly the best part - if you discount Gene Kelly making love to a lamp post - that scene is SO iconic, and makes me feel SO happy. It's just one of those infinitely joyful moments to get lost in. Wow. There's very little to complain about concerning this movie - at least if you can stomach 50s corniness (which I dine on with glee - it's swell!). The dancing drags on a little long in the Broadway Melody section (certainly put there for the sole purpose of proving that Gene Kelly can dance, and that Cyd Charisse has legs that go on forever - it's completely plotless), but other than that, this movie sucks you in and doesn't let go. Gene Kelly is my hero - no one dances like that anymore, and it's a crying shame. Richard Gere in Chicago has nothing on this guy. NOTHING. Ugh. Anyway, if you want a happiness fix, and you like dancing, just watch this and TRY not to smile. You'll fail spectacularly.

I never thought I would like this movie half as much as I do. I know squat about "football," but it was really fun to watch. Not to mention the fact that John Rhys-Meyers makes good eye (and ear) candy.

Another one of those really good movies that nobody seems to have seen or even heard of. Robert Downey Jr. is hilarious in this movie, especially in the board room meeting scene, when his character is possessed. Playing five different characters in the same movie must be no easy task. And Walk Like a Man is infuriatingly catchy... I love that song... Not the best comedy or movie out there, but worth a rental, or even a purchase. Poor completely totalled Infiniti... it was such a pretty car...

Fohgeddaboutit! It makes me laugh whenever he says that... Yeah. I like Hugh Grant movies as a general rule. This one applies too, though I can't say it's my favourite. Though it has its moments (okay, mostly just a moment - the mobsters' lunch at the restaurant, and that ATROCIOUS accent - "Geddouddaheeee"), there's noticable spaces between all the big laughs. There's still little giggles, but... let's just say it's not as continually funny as some of his other movies (e.g. Music and Lyrics). Mobster hierarchy and politics are a little hard to follow, especially when everyone's name rhymes with everyone else's. But it's definitely worth the watch - enjoy it the first time around, because I have the feeling that it's one of those movies that loses something with each subsequent viewing... but that should be about it. The The End.

Ahhh... every fantasy movie you can think of spoofed together in one big green package... sweet. Yeah Fiona! This is the best of the ones I've seen, and I imagine it'll stay that way. I love that all the fairy tales in here have been turned upside down, and I love the moral, but more than anything, I love the inside jokes - and I think I've seen the majority of the movies being spoofed here. I remember shrieking with glee when I first saw this in theatres - especially with that bridge collapsing and Dragon's graceful swoop through the clouds... brings back good memories. What else can I say? Oh - and the technical goofs on the DVD make me die laughing every time - especially "Fuzzy Donkey" - aww, he's like a bunny rabbit! I sure got a deal with the first DVD I ever bought.

Not as good as the first one. Not by a long shot. Puss is cool , and I love Prince Charming's hair... but... I dunno... it just wasn't as good. Probably because it was lacking spoofs. Yes, I love the cast (yay John Cleese!) and the soundtrack seems to measure up well to the first one, but overall, this just seems to be the "sequel due to overwhelming demand." It was okay - but nothing to scream or cry over. I was expecting more - a Shrek version of Toy Story 2 (i.e. a sequel that's better than the original) - but I didn't get it. And therefore my happiness is more than just a teardrop away.

This is my mom's arguing movie, and possibly my favorite romantic comedy. I can't decide. But it's a good one, and I'm re-reviewing it, because, well, it's a Christmas movie, and it's almost Christmas. Makes sense somehow... Anyhoodles... what's to say? I love the ensemblyness of this movie (I think I just invented another word), especially the Hugh Grant and Liam Neeson parts. And I would have liked the Colin Firth parts had I liked Colin Firth. But alas, I don't, and never will. But he's standable in this movie, I'll give him that. The soundtrack is great (despite the inclusion of Joni Mitchell, whom I despise), and this movie isn't all laughs or weepiness, it's a mixture of both, so that's good. The Keira Knightly storyline is particularily touching - and I don't get touched by much of anything in movies. And Rowan Atkinson pops up and saves the day. Yay. It's pretty much all my favorite British actors lumped together in one really good movie. And it's not too sappy or Britishy (i.e. Let's buy chips with some dosh), so that's good. And I'm babbling. It's hard to criticize something you like - that's all I can say. "If-you-really-like-Christmas, c'mon and let it snow" - yurrr... lol.

Okay, this movie is hokey beyond all belief, and yet... there's Errol Flynn again, being all swashbuckly. No one is swashbuckly like Errol Flynn. Who cares if he can fall into water and come out dry in his perfectly clean bright green sparkly tunic and tights? I don't.

One of THE funniest movies ever. I have no idea why I like crossdressing movies so much. Or Dustin Hoffman for that matter. But I do. And he's really quite convincing as a girl, which I find impressive considering that he - unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire - isn't wearing a face. And I love and hate all the awkward moments at the same time - I find them excruciatingly funny and impossible to watch.

Mmmm... Rupert Everett is awesome. Very funny. The best Julia Roberts movie, in my opinion - even though I'm not a screaming huge fan of hers. This is the Rupert Everett show to me. Cameron Diaz (Ha! Fiona and Prince Charming!) is gloriously annoying in this too - the karaoke scene is beyond painful for anyone with perfect pitch. Wow... what can I say? This is well done, and even though it's ten years old now, and even though I must have seen it a bazillion times, it's still extraordinarily funny. Especially the impromptu singing at the restaurant. I get that song stuck in my head for weeks afterward. "The moment I wake up... before I put on my makeup... I say a little prayer for you." Oh man. It's official - Rupert Everett makes this movie for me. Hee hee hee... What's also great about this is that it's not a girl gets guy formulaic blah of a movie either. I won't spoil the ending... not that there's anything major to be spoiled... but it doesn't turn out the way you'd expect. It's really kind of sad, actually. Until you get that fershlugginer song stuck back in your head. Now there's a classic movie moment. Sigh.
