Withnail and I

Dr Stangelove (or How I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb)

Big Lebowski.
Airplane.
Life of Brian.
Planes Trains and Automobiles.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Definitely to all of these. Life Of Brian is one of the greatest comedies of all time.

As nands suggests Dr Strangelove is great although with an underlying message. Withnail and I or any of Kevin Smiths films are pretty humourous although you may wish to skip Jersey Girl.

This Is Spinal Tap is an awesome rock mockumentary, it does require a bit of attention to be paid though, you can't just dip in and out on a first viewing.

Shaun Of The Dead and to a lesser extent Hot Fuzz are good.

Van Wilder: Party Liason is quite entertaining in a light fluff sort of way - don't bother with the second one.

for modern ones:
40 year old virgin
superbad
knocked up

old classic:
airplane
life of brian

 

[Kol]

Some fantastic suggestions. I hadn't thought of the old classics.

What other modern ones are there? I do like Will ferrell and Steve Carrell, so naturally the ones above and Anchorman are already owned. Blades of Glory was alright.

 

[semi-pro waster]

I find it difficult to recommend any films with Will Ferrell in them but Old School is decent enough if you don't already have it. Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle is along similar sort of frat boy humour lines so might appeal.
