best classic comedy

well one of my favorite movies is National Lampoon's Vacation, they have sequels that are really good too but the originals the best i say. Chevy chase is a fuckin legend.
Whats the best comedy from before the 90s you think?
Probably some you gna say caddyshack and airplane i dont think ive seen those i thought id call em lol.

 

if you haven't seen caddyshack or airplane, you probably should. in the spirit of airplane, naked gun is also worth mentioning.

off the top of my head, my vote for favorite pre-1990 comedy goes to blues brothers.

 

Animal House
48 hours
Cheech and Chong: Up in Smoke
Major League
Naked Gun

 

From the 90s?

I liked 'Groundhog day' 'My cousin Vinny' 'Austin Powers' 'So I married an axe murderer'.

Edit: Oops - Whats the best comedy from before the 90s you think?

'Withail and I'.

 

season related id have to go with a Christmas Story

 

Week-End At Bernies...



Cheers Glen.

 

Animal House...

I'll say "Up in Smoke" as runner up.

 

blazing saddles

 

shyyt i forgot cheech n chong. And chistmas story. That was my moms favorite movie like im pretty sure number 1. That jester at the top of the slide gave me horrible nightmares when i was little.
And i said pre 90s odon.
Thanks guys i might have to check these movies out havent heard of a lot of em.

Oh and butch cassidy and the sundance kid is pretty loke.

You guys know its a national lampoon movie right?

 

...forgot about 'Weird science'

...not really a fan of 'Animal House' : /

 

I guess my classic goes back farther than the above mentioned movies. I would say

It's a mad mad mad mad world

or

The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming.

 

^^^ Both great movies. Having watched them both recently I noticed that they were much more hilarious when I first saw them in theaters...
