This Is the Funniest Film Ever Made

I normally don't like many comedic films, but I have to say that Top Secret gets my nod as the best comedy of all-time. In terms of slapstick, I cannot think of a movie that is more absurd than this one, yet the Zucker Brothers, per usual, use exaggeration and sarcasm to the utmost extreme.

I remember in college when I always watched this movie and only about half of the people in the room thought it was funny. They'd have rather watched Zoolander.

That is what is wrong with my generation.

Best shootoutscene ever, especially when chocolat mouse ( hah ) obviously sprays and prays with the thompson and only east germans fall dead.

This film has my second favorite comedic moment of all time: I'm embarrassed to say it was a moment involving the men in the cow costume (but not the moment you're probably thinking of).

My #1 comedic moment goes to a certain tailgating scene in Lost Highway (not a comedy, but a load of dark humor in that scene).

This film has the second best comedic moment on my personal all-time list. Based on the number of times I audibly laughed at the scene.

The first goes to a moment in Lost Highway (most defnitely not a comedy but has a scene that is comic gold in my book).
