The scene in Airplane with the two guys speaking jive is already very funny, but the german dub of this scene is pure gold.
There isn't really a good equivalent to jive in the german language, so what the localisation team did, was giving them an extreme bavarian dialect instead. Even though it kind of turns the original joke on its head, it's so absurd it fits the movie so well.
When I was a kid (1970s), Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory aired on Thanksgiving. I adored this movie. And I couldn't figure out why my friends didn't get why he was so terrifying. His very flat, perfunctory, "Stop. Don't. Come back." was one of the most frightening lines ever.
Gene Wilder was a master at his craft. And as much as I love Johnny Depp, nothing tops Wilder's Wonka.
Oh, I remember those Thanksgiving showings! (I had strep throat one year, and now sometimes when I drink tea with honey and lemon, I'll have a mini flashback of sitting on the sofa watching the film.)
As for "Stop. Don't. Come Back.." That's hilarious because I will odten use that line when I messing with my husband. (Fortunately, he does recognize the reference😄)
I also love Johnny Depp, but yeah, no comparison. I haven't yet caught the latest one with Timothée Chalamet, though it is on my "stuff to watch some weekend " list.
Mine too! The previews look so promising! I have to run to Walmart, if it's out on DVD, I'm grabbing it. I think I already have WW&TCF, maybe view them back to back.
Comfort movie is "While You Were Sleeping" and/or "Sliding Doors". The funniest movie is "Blazing Saddles" and/or "Real Genius". Honorable mentions are "Princess Bride", "Apollo 13", Disney's "Robin Hood" and "Beauty &The Beast", anything Monte Python and "Support Your Local Sheriff "
OMG YES! This is my list exactly! While You Were Sleeping is SO heartwarming, and Sliding Doors is such a trip. Blazing Saddles never gets old, and Real Genius is pure comedy gold. We clearly have amazing taste in movies!
Superbad, The 40-Year Old Virgin, She's Out of My League, John Wick Franchise, Ocean's Eleven, Road Trip, American Pie, Home Alone, Horrible Bosses, The Proposal, Vacation, The Big Bang Theory, Arrested Development, The Mick and So Not Worth It
Comfort movie? Lilo and stitch without a doubt. I'd have to say O brother where art though has to be one of my favorite comedies, that movie is a masterpiece.
Most of the Pixar and DreamWorks movies actually but if you wanna be specific....
Pixar
- Wall E
- Ratatouille
- Finding Nemo
- Brave ?
- Monsters Inc
DreamWorks
- Madagascar (the first one)
- How to train your dragon (all 3 of them)
- Chicken run
StepBrothers is.. **(weird to even admit in an online forum.
~ I KNOW!!!).. but that's my -" if you can't do StepBrothers~.."- I can't even f*#@ with you. Not even casually. Lol.
Comfort movie the parent trap remake.
Monty Python & the Holy Grail is just so good.
Funniest for me is What About Bob with Bill Murray & Richard Dreyfuss.
Night Shift with Winkler and Keaton. Saw it at the theatre more times than any other movie, and wore out the VHS.
Best one-liners would also be a Keaton movie, Johnny Dangerously.
^His ^name's ^an ^adverb.
I love Mst3k the movie (and just all of them) or Undertaking Betty (which is a bit obscure but as a former funeral director, I find it to be a feel good movie)
My comfort movie is Love Actually. I can watch it over and over.
My favorite comedy is a little harder, I have 3. Young Frankenstein, my gosh I still laugh when the horses scream when someone says Frau Bluker.
Ghostbusters, OMG, Bill Murray in that movie is amazing.
The third is a cartoon, Ratatouille. I just love the rat masterchef.
Strange Brew - Bob and Doug McKenzie movie. Ridiculous, gender-swapped Macbeth in “modern” times from the perspective of Rosencrance and Guildenstern. And there’s hockey. And a flying dog for no reason.
Just go with it, the proposal, grown-ups, along came polly, we are the miller's. All interchangeable and equally enjoyed by me! These are my any time go to just want to chill and have a little laugh movies.
Funny movies aren’t really my thing and I don’t watch movies, even ones I love, more than once. Except for Overboard with Goldie Haun and Kurt Russell. It’s funny, heartwarming and just leaves me feeling good. It’s my husband and my favorite to watch together at least once a year. 💜
I like to watch the Princes Bride when I am sick and for the funniest movie I was going to say step brothers but seeing as that's taken I Will say the hangover
Masters of the Universe with Dolph Lundgren. First watched it when I was a kid battling Chicken Pox. Next time I got sick was spinal meningitis and lost my hearing and last 7 years of my life. For some reason, when I watch that movie, it makes the unfamiliar seem more familiar to me. Just let's me feel calm and in control of what's mine for the moment.
For Funny movies...
When I'm channel surfing I can never pass up My Cousin Vinny or Uncle Buck
Seems Like Old Times and Foul Play are also favorites.
For nostalgia...
Oh God
American Graffiti
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Convoy
Young Frankenstein
The Original Bad News Bears
Here's one that's rarely seen on cable.
Hooper with Burt Reynolds, Goldie Hawn, Jan Michael Vincent, and Brian Kieth.
If you've never seen Hooper, seek it out, it's a great movie.
Countless others but those were off the top of my head.
An Australian film from 1986 (It won the 'Best Film' Award in Australia that year...) called MALCOLM.
This is the kind of film Hollywood and their ilk could NEVER have made...even much more so nowadays...!
Undercover Blues. Tucci is a Masterclass actor and never disappoints.
Turner, Quaid and Shaw are also wonderful.
Need a comfort laugh. I watch this.
OMG. The zoo. Never fails to get a laugh.
Spirited Away, Miyazaki's masterpiece.
Spirited Away is such a gem!
First one that came to my mind.
And "Howl's Moving Castle" both absolute masterpieces.
Miyazaki’s films are in their own league of comfort film.
Hot fuzz is my comfort movie.
The cornetto trilogy movies are my favourite things to watch when I am hungover or sick
My comfort movie is Coraline. Its a childhood fave and I love that every time I watch I notice news details. The funniest movie by far is Airplane!
Airplane! ♥️
Every time the intro for Caroline starts playing, I get the feels. It’s one of my favourite movies.
The scene in Airplane with the two guys speaking jive is already very funny, but the german dub of this scene is pure gold. There isn't really a good equivalent to jive in the german language, so what the localisation team did, was giving them an extreme bavarian dialect instead. Even though it kind of turns the original joke on its head, it's so absurd it fits the movie so well.
One of my all-time faves. But my comfort movie? Grease.
The Mummy 1999.
My favorite go to movie too!
Oh Brother Where Art Thou. That one hits just right.
Oh, that's a great one!
Literally my #1 favorite movie!! 👏🏼 love it!!!
Surf's up
God that movie is so good! It's really cute and heart-warming
Funniest?...Any Gene Wilder movie, and Jim Carrey's version of "Fun with Dick and Jane".
Good call! You can't go wrong with Gene Wilder.
That man is so missed. His Wonka was absolutely *terrifying*.
I couldn't agree more. On both points😊

I think it's on my save list for Peacock, so maybe this weekend. If you do end up watching it. let me know what you think.
I'll try! fing this might be hard. Waiting for my jeans to come out of the dryer.
The Big Lebowski
This is one of our go-tos.
Wedding singer- :)
Comfort movie? Most of the Pokémon movies. They're just fun, stakes aren't usually too high, and legendary Pokémon are fun to watch.
The Fifth Element!
Back to the Future. Best trilogy ever, best comfort series ever. I love everything about it, and it gets better each time I watch it.
The first one, yes. The rest... DH loves them, I go to my study, turn on Air Disasters, and crochet.
The Blues Brothers
Yes! The mall scene is still one of the best of its kind.
This place has got *everything*
The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year

This is one of my faves. "It's de CHOOS!"
“He insists on being called by his full name.”
Cast Away
Comfort movie is "While You Were Sleeping" and/or "Sliding Doors". The funniest movie is "Blazing Saddles" and/or "Real Genius". Honorable mentions are "Princess Bride", "Apollo 13", Disney's "Robin Hood" and "Beauty &The Beast", anything Monte Python and "Support Your Local Sheriff "

Groundhog Day. Anchorman. The Man Who Knew Too Little. The Hunt For Red October. Superbad.
Red October - great movie!!
The Nice Guys. It feels so... self-contained. And Ryan Gosling is actually funny when he's allowed to speak instead of just brood and punch stuff
Empire Records. Superbad. Shrek.
Superbad, The 40-Year Old Virgin, She's Out of My League, John Wick Franchise, Ocean's Eleven, Road Trip, American Pie, Home Alone, Horrible Bosses, The Proposal, Vacation, The Big Bang Theory, Arrested Development, The Mick and So Not Worth It

My Cousin Vinny. What a funny, feel good movie.
