Funny Movie List

The countdown is 8 days.  My surgery is Monday December 14th.  For the last few days, I have been thinking of how I will handle the down time and recovery.  And I need help,  I need names of funny movies that I can watch while I am recuperating. 

Let's make a few clarifying requests.  I am not into slapstick like Benny Hill or Monty Python.    Here is a list of movies that I think are comedy that I like:
Men in Black
Ghostbusters
The Princess Bride
Groundhog Day
You've Got Mail!
Mama Mia!

I probably have dated myself here.  I am open to suggestions.   Please comment and suggest something.


thanks in advance,

  8. For comedy, I can't believe that no one has listed my all time favorite.

    The Frisco Kid

    For romance, I like the oldies
    An Affair to Remember (ok, so it is really corny.)
    Random Harvest (even older and cornier)
    Love in the Afternoon (you get the idea)

    For more modern romance, I like
    Baby Boom
    As Good as it Gets
    Something's Gotta Give

  9. You can never go wrong with Chris Farley or any of the movies from the cast of SNL. If I was looking for a good laugh that would be my choice hands down.
