This is the best comedy movie I have ever seen. Any recommendations?


I have seen basically 95% movies in imdb top250 and have 1900+ movies in my watchlist which represents the movies which I have seen.

Do you have any comedy recommendations besides other Guy Richie movies or Tarantino (seen them all). I usually do not find "comedy" movies to be very funny, since the humor in those is over the top and forced. Comedy works best for me, when it is not a main genre. For example drama / comedy or action / comedy or crime / comedy. Those movies with funny misunderstanding situations and with lack of swearing toilet humor are the best! Help me find me some :(

Type of comedy that I find very funny:

Snatch
Bad santa
The Nice Guys
Crazy, Stupid, Love.
Office space.
Silver Linings Playbook (first half)


Types of comedy movies that I find mildy funny:

Matchstick Men
Groundhog Day
Clers 2
Napoleon Dynamite
Horrible Bosses
Naked gun
There's Something About Mary
21 Jump Street
Lock stock and two smoking barrels
The Proposal
Spaceballs
Ace ventura (most of JC movies)
Fawlthy towers
Fish called Wanda
Top Gear (original presenters)
Most of chaplin movies
Mrs. Doubtfire
The 40-Year-Old Virgin


Types of comedy movies that I did NOT find to be funny:

The hangover
Scary movie (later parts too and similar spoofs)
Ted
Airplane!
Police Academy
Anchorman (Will Ferrell not funny, maybe in person is, i don't know)
Monthy python (don't hate)
Austin Powers
Animal House
Central Intelligence
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Caddyshack

Mike Judge's other movies are worth checking out. Idiocracy has some more broad humor, but it also makes fun of that broad humor.

Most of the Coen Brothers movies are worth it, too. "A Simple Plan" is along those lines, too.
