Old School
Starring Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson and Will Ferrell, Old School is rude, a bit crude and hilarious from beginning to end! This is the story of newly separated Mitch, and his friends Frank and Beanie; men in their thirties who attempt to recapture some of their youth by turning Mitch’s house into a fraternity at their old college. For those of us who like to guffaw like teenagers from time to time, this movie will most definitely fit the bill!
Mean Girls
Mean Girls is the coming of age story of Cady, a naive new student at the local high school. She befriends The Plastics, a group of Mean Girls, who turn on Cady in the blink of an eye when she falls for Queen Bee Regina’s ex-boyfriend. Cady vows revenge, until she finds herself having become a mean girl herself. A story about friendship and remaining true to yourself, this movie is a must see!
Airplane
The first time I saw Airplane as a kid, I’ll admit that I didn’t understand all of the humor. I’ve since re-watched it again and again, and still laugh hysterically every single time. When an airplane crew are struck by food poisoning, it is up to a former war pilot to land the plane safely. This film helped launch Leslie Neilson’s comedic career, and helped define slapstick comedies… so do yourself a favor, and watch this movie pronto!
Monty Python And The Holy Grail
Follow King Arthur in 10th century England, as he travels the countryside looking for knights to join him at the Round table in Camelot. Along they way, they encounter the Voice of God, who send them on another quest: The search for the Holy Grail. As ridiculous as it is hilarious, don’t miss this classic silly comedy!
Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy
Follow the story of top-rated anchorman Ron Burgundy (played by the hilarious Will Ferrell) in the male-dominated world of broadcasting. Burgundy is on top of the world, until a driven ambitious woman (played by Christina Applegate) is hired as a new anchor. With a supporting cast including Seth Rogen, Steve Carell and Chris Parnell (to name but a few), this movie is a must-see!
Caddyshack
With a spectacular cast including Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray and Chevy Chase, this classic movie still packs a comedic punch every time. Follow the endless hijinks at Bushwood Country Club, and be prepared to laugh out loud time and time again!
I have to say love Hilarious movies love Airplane my hubby love Caddyshack thanks for sharing
HA! These are a classic. No matter what you pick you’re going to have a good laugh. I’ve seen all of these and I’ve definitely enjoyed them.
Great list. I tend to stick to my classic favs when I go on a binge watch like Breakfast club, Dirty Dancing, 16 Candles, Empire Records. I love streaming so I can always find exactly what I want to watch.
You reminded me that it’s been a while since I have watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I need to watch it again soon.
Just what I was looking for. I’ve been in the bed sick all week and I’m on a hunt for funny movies so I’ll quit having a pity party. I’ll check all of these out.
I just love the movies on your list. Mean Girls is one of my most favorite movies.
I totally agree with your list! I watched airplane so many times back in the day that I broke the VHS tape! My friends and I are still using references in conversation from Old School, “the trust nest” and “you’re my boy, blue”. lol Great movies!
These are all great comedy movies. Airplane and Old School were two of my favorites back than for sure. Thanks for sharing these awesome old movies.
Love, Love, love Airplane. It’s a classic. Just saw CHIPS last night and that was a spoof in the same vein as Airplane.
I remember seeing Airplane in the theatre as a teen. OMG I never have laughed so hard before or since!
I need to watch this again! Thanks for the list and the memories!
