I like to think of the Toy Story series as a learning experience.

It starts off all nice and cheery with youthful hijinks and adventure and then just slowly descends...

I could watch Malkovich punching Brad Pitt in Burn After Reading and never get tired of it.

22 Jump Street is even better IMO. The first scene where Jonah Hill is pretending to be Spanish and starts throwing Tattum's character under the bus for no reason always gets me.

Also, on the Jonah Hill vibe, Get Him to the Greek is pretty great too.

Those "what, actually?" moments are when brilliant comedies pull away from the mediocre ones that play it safe and predictable.

The entire hot wife gag was also incredible.

Also Ferrell's rant at the office when he finally stands up for himself.

Vinny Jones is also just the best. My favourite is the extra scene at the end credits of him completely unloading on the French drivers.

Also this guy is great.

Haha, get him to the Greek was awesome if only for one scene:

Don't think anyone has mentioned this one yet. Malkovich going through the portal into his own body is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Scott Pilgrim vs. The World yet. Still one of my favorite absurd comedies.

Another one that popped into my head and Im sure many here have never even heard of it is The Sting.

Just a fabulous movie that was made almost 50 years ago now. Won 7 Academy awards including best picture. Lots of laughs along the way.

Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Charles Durning and many more.

I havent seen it in probably 30 years myself and never even see it listed anywhere.

If you like light/fun movies its a must see.

I've recently been rewatching Kingpin. That movie is underrated.
