Fun, Light-hearted Movies You Enjoy

[Merlin the Elder]

I'm always on the lookout for good movies. What are some fun ones you enjoy? A few of my personal favourites:
Bottle Shock (2008) - about the time when California wines were determined to be contenders. Alan Rickman, Bill Pulman, and Chris Pine.
Pass the Ammo (1988) - televangelists at their worst. This movie bombed at the box office...made about $180,000, but should be a cult favourite. It's out of print, but you can watch it on YouTube. Tim Curry, Bill Paxton, Linda Kozlowski
The Philadelphia Story (1940)- One of the classics. Kate Hepburn & Cary Grant

I've always enjoyed the "Fred & Ginger" movies, and of course Bringing Up Baby with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn.

Been seeing Labyrinth on tv a lot over the last few weeks, plus I saw for the first time in years, The Dark Crystal.

Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou

Oscar (Stallone at his VERY best...Tim Curry as you never thought to see him) FARCE warning...tongue in cheek and FUN!

These come to mind... I could keep listing but I would be here ALL NIGHT!

[Merlin the Elder]

Haven't seen Oscar in many years. I'd forgotten that one.
Monty Python movies are (or should be) on all fun movie lists by default.
Young Frankenstein and History of the World: Part 1 are a couple I left off my earlier list.

I Agree with Young Frankenstein.  Fantastic movie...

Add Blazing Saddles and the greatest movie no one has ever seen...
