Anyone in northern NJ knows that it's been raining nonstop for the past few days. I spent the whole time watching some of my favorite comedies like My Cousin Vinny, White Men Can't Jump, Role Models...etc. What're some good comedies you guys are into? Could be new or old
Best comedy for a rainy day indoors?

In addition to movies, you should watch all the seasons of Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. The FUNNIEST three shows in the history of television (and I've seen Cheers, Frasier, Becker, Taxi, I Love Lucy, Mary Tyler Moore)

It's a funny one..............
Won't it be weird when in like 15 years a movie such as Pineapple Express or Role models would be considered old
The moment in Kung Pow where the old man nods his head and says 'No' had me in stitches. Why did everyone hate that film?
It'd be even weirder if people considered them to be good...
Yep. It's going to happen to you.
The films I grew up with, the ones I consider the "best" comedies for
a rainy day are "old" to you. It won't be too long before your best
comedies for a rainy day will be considered old and some younger
person won't even want to look at them.
But I gotta tell you; I'll be glad when the 20 year old "Reservoir Dogs"
finally gets on the "old" list and new writers stop imitating it.
