What's funnier than Used Cars?


I honestly can't think of ONE single movie ever that is funnier than Used Cars. I love this movie!

Uncle Buck is slightly funnier than Used Cars and I love both movies.

"Blazing Saddles" was certainly in the same league. "Caddyshack" was as well, but of course, it is all personal opinion.

reply

It is indeed all in personal opinion pal. And in my own view none of the above mentioned come close to this movie

"Used Cars" is one my all-time favorite comedies, but I have no problem putting "Blazing Saddles" and "Caddyshack" in the same league -- all three go to 11 on the laugh-o-meter. "Uncle Buck"? Not so much.

Favorite comedies of all-time: Animal House, Used Cars, 40 year old virgin, Groundhog Day, and Something About Mary.

reply

Are you kidding?

You have obviously not seen movies like for example:

Spaceballs
Blazing Saddles
Dumb & Dumber
Monty Pythons Life of Brian
Monty Python & the holy grail
Monty Pytons Meaning of Life

The list is veeeeeeery long!

reply

Ah, forgot Spaceballs, yeah that movie is a blast.

Used Cars is one of the funniest, if not the funniest I've ever seen, one that comes close for me is Young Frankenstein. Blues Brothers too.

"Favorite comedies of all-time: Animal House, Used Cars, 40 year old virgin, Groundhog Day, and Something About Mary.""

I'd have to agree. These movies are all in the same league and 40 Year Old Virgin is one of my newest favorites. USED CARS is still my king, though.

Super Troopers is pretty damn funny too.

Used Cars is one of the funniest films I've ever seen...

Wait a minute... who am I here?

Wow, I have never seen an un-funnier list of alleged funny movies ever.

The fact that this movie stars Michael McKean, and that a post in this topic refers to being "an 11 on the scale", brings to mind Spinal Tap, certainly a picture worthy of including in this list of quality and hilarious comedy movies!

I LOVE Used Cars, but i can name a few better comedies.... i would only submit titles from the era (late 70's early 80's) that have that USA character to it as a fair comparison.

Slap Shot
The Jerk
Man with two Brains

I've been spending the morning looking at all of KRs movies: Backdraft...Overboard...Captain Ron...a few others...

And this has to be the best work that Hurt Russell EVER did....say what you want about the others...but, the comedic timing...the way he hits his lines...everything about his acting ability in this movie..was par excellance!

and Gerritt Graham played a great part too...he played off of Russell Very well...and Russell played off of him too...very well.
