Well it's been a long time since I have rented a movie.So this weekend I'm gonna stay home and chill and watch a movie or two.Something new that I haven't seen already.

So if you have seen a really funny one let me know.

My 2 favs are Blazing Saddles and Dumb and Dumber laugh.gif

Yossarian
Watch it!

He's gonna whip it out! biggrin.gif

I don't know when I've actually seen a good belly bustin' rolling on the floor comedy. Meet the Parents was good. There's a real oldie "Texas Across the River" that I remember leaving me in stitches, but I doubt you'd be able to find it in your local outlet. It was made in the early seventies.

Any of the "Naked Gun" series are pretty funny.

So many funny quotes from that. Back before we went PC crazy...

Mel Brooks is wack.The History of the World is killer too.

It's been awhile since I have seen a pink panther movie hummmmm.
Maybe thats it.

Would really like to see something that I haven't seen already.

Never heard of "Texas Across the River".But will do a search on it.
If it looks funny I will try to find it on the internet somewhere.

I guess they just don't make them like they use to.

Dicky Roberts thats the one with David Spade who was a childhood movie star
and wanted his childhood back.I remember seeing the previews back when it came out.Lots of cameos.Sounds good...

I have heard Dumb and Dumberer was a big let down.Compared to the first one Romulus how was it?
Heather
Are you kidding me? Naked Gun? I thought they were horrible. Anger Management and Dumb and Dumberer were a big disappointment for me. When I want to laugh I go for Chris Rock and Denis Leary's stand up.
GMAN
Here's a newer one. Second Hand Lions (Robert Duvall & Michael Cain ) not exactly side spliting but comicial... The Jerk (Steve Martin) always makes me laugh
Yossarian
As a matter of fact, I was a big fan of F-Troop! Larry Storch was d' man! blink.gif

Heather, you have no taste for the finer things in life. biggrin.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif (just kidding!)

"Hey, Nice beaver."
"Thank you, I just had it stuffed."

If you are looking for old movies to rent, try Wonderbook over by KMart. I think they have a copy of every video ever made! Dumb and Dumberer was the most pathetic sequel ever made. Secondhand Lions is very cute and amusing, but not an out and out comedy. You can get it, as well as School of Rock, at the library, assuming they are in! Visit library to check the catalog and see if there is anything you are interested in!

What do you mean staying home and watching a movie? I thought you were going to your rib place!

Way off thread, but there is a fly tying workshop at Renfrew soon.

...and I thought Wonder Book and Video was my little secret.

ribs=3/27 night

What is Renfrew?

I have tied a few flies mostly wooly buggers and poppers, easy ones.Takes up too much time with my fat fingers.But it sounds interesting.

And last really funny movie I saw was old school...

"Hey let's go streakin'" Frank the tank
momsapilot
Mmmm fly tyin' and ribs!

Renfrew is in Waynesboro, PA Renfrew
Beginners 15 and up, 3/27 9am-noon, $15 pre-registration required. 717-762-0373.

Actually, I've referred several people to Wonder Book since they have an excellent collection. You just have to be patient enough to browse through everything!
Yossarian
Wonder Book is like some old public library's big old attic!
I haven't been in there for years, maybe a visit is in order. wink.gif
GreedyXJ
Well I was at Best Buy Friday and bought a classic one...Fast Times at Ridgemont High...
laugh.gif
Yossarian
That IS a classic, greedy. Should have picked up Porky's also! laugh.gif

GreedyXJ
Anyone seen the Lady's Man?Tim Meadows from SNL.Funny or not?Thanks.
christopher
I wasn't a fan. The stint on SNL was much better than the movie, but it does have it's moments. Will Farrell is in it, too.
