Answer 1

Favorite Answer

It seems like you should try some Mel Brooks movies to fit your Screwball Comedy theme, i.e. Spaceballs, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, etc.

But it also seems like you like feel good movies. I love watching older movies, such as most Audrey Hepburn movies.

I would also recommend La Belle Vita, or Life is Wonderful. It's Italian, so you would have to watch it with subtitles, but it's a thouroughly good movie. Also, try watching Some Like it Hot, with Marilyn Monroe. It's a very funny movie with one of the best endings.

Answer 2

The boondocks saints, the Great Outdoors, CADDYSHACK, blazing saddles, national lampoons family vacation, Jay and Silent Bob strikes back, Dogma, Uncle Buck, The Cowboy Way, Kingpin , The big Lebowski, splash, dazed and Confused, footloose, Big, The Wolf of Wall Street, Sleepy Hollow and From Hell both Johnny Depp movies there awesome movies, lonesome Dove if u have over 6 hours 2 watch it but well worth it, and Dances with Wolves, and Robin Hood Prince of thieves, that's just a few of them that I could just think right off my head and I have everyone of them actually I have about a lil over 200 movies if I had time I would of named them all oh and just got lone survivor got to see it
