What happened to all the FUNNY movies? They seemed to fizzle out in the 80's or 90's. Some of my favs were Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, My Cousin Vinny, Young Frankenstein, Throw Mama From the Train, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Blazing Saddles and The Bird Cage. I'm sure I missed some, but "funny" movies just aren't funny any more.

TOMMY BOY. "That's gonna leave a mark!

Bridesmaids but even that is 2011.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles" is one of my favorites.

Martin/Candy had such a spirit together.

Really sucks that they never got to work together again.

I would guess that your sense of humor perhaps hasn't changed since then? I've seen plenty of movies I think are hilarious; to me, anyway.

I laughed so hard at this one that my ribs hurt the next day:
The Secret Life of Pets"

We had classics in our time and you do have to hunt for them - but there are still good ones occasionally.

Mel Brooks who wrote several of them is in his 90s now doing a comedy act in Las Vegas as we speak. John Candy who I loved is gone. Billy Crystal doesn't do movies anymore. I think Gene Wilder died. And my fave Robin Williams is gone. Now your comedy actors are The Rock, Adam Sandler, Tina Fey, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon in their own movies-The New Ghostbusters.
Funny is in the eye of the beholder-we lost some major comedy stars

Billy Crystal is still acting. (Believe it or not). [imdb.com]

Didn't know bout Jumanji-remake of his pal Robin Williams

Have you seen Burn after Reading and the Hangover movies?

Seen Hangover movies-. Sex and humor.

I was thinking of Monty Python and the Holy Grail recently. The best!

And The Life of Brian.

I think we just got old and they do not serve our kind of humor anymore... My Cousin Vinny and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, my two favorite comedies of all time!

Who do you mean "we"? 🙂

Most movies now are action/comic book crap that I have no interest watching. I miss rom coms too.
