Could I have some genuinely funny movies please?

It's been said, but if you haven't seen The Big Lebowski already, it's likely one of the best comedies ever written.
Burn After Reading is good too. In fact, every Coen brothers comedy is good (as are all Coen brothers films in general).
And naturally every Python movie, though I imagine you must have seen them already too given that you're so out of obvious options that you turned to us for help.
The original Death at a Funeral is also hilarious. Take care that you find the original rather than the awful American remake mysteriously released three years later. Apparently executives thought the film would do better in America if it were blatantly terrible.

oh yeah that movie! that was frigging hilarious. almost as funny as Kung Pow. which you should also see.Gxas said:
most mel brooks films are great the first time through. i particularly liked Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles.
another good comedy you should go see is the second rush hour movie. it improves upon the first i think, and it doesn't seem like a cash in because it is genuinely good, and it takes place right where the last one left off. well, about a week later, but still. very much worth watching, and so is the first rush hour. third i liked, though i can understand why some would not, and it was kind of a cash in, but hey, i liked it. thought it was pretty good
I cannot recommend this movie enough. I have watched it at least 6 times and it's still just as funny as the first time.Da Chi said:
I've seen most of the things people have said before and they're all good. You have a lot of awesome movies to watch.
Clerks 1 and 2, anything by Simon Pegg,most Will Ferall movies are funny, and I don't know about everyone else but I thought Scott Pilgrim was a hilarious movie.
if you like old exploitation flicks, or at least aren't offended by them, my dad showed me "I'm gonna get you sucka!", and i thought it was frigging hilarious, especially the finale which makes no sense whatsoever, and includes a creative 4th wall break. in case of any flak i might catch for this, im not racist. i hold no animosity towards any specific ethnic group, and it was my father, who is a black man, who showed me this. so yeah, not a racist, just thought it was a funny movie.
another funny one would be sex drive. i didn't think it would be too funny by the commercials, but the main character is so tactless and has such bad timing in the movie (not the actor the character), that he winds up in a ton of funny situations, and the supporting cast is hilarious. especially his elder brother (epilogue makes his brother's actions and general demeanor throughout the movie even funnier)
