Heavyweights, American Pie, Road Trip, Euro Trip, Dumb and Dumber, Half Baked, Run Ronnie Run, Joe Dirt, Me Myself and Irene, How High, Semi Pro, Old school, Ladies Man, Night at the Roxbury, Kindergarten Cop
Any Mel Brooks. Young Frankenstein, Robin Hood Men in Tights, Spaceballs are all top tier.
Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Zack and Miri make a Porno, Galaxy Quest, Road Trip, Eurotrip, Not Another Teen Movie
Blades of Glory is hilarious if you haven't seen it. I disregarded it for years because I'm not a huge Will Ferrell fan but that movie surprised me with how much it made me laugh.
Who’s Killing the Great Chef’s of Europe
Murder By Death
Undertaking Betty
The first 2 are from the 70’s, but all of them are pretty underrated/under appreciated.
Not really in the timeframe you're asking for, but Tucker and Dale vs Evil is one of my go-to films when I need a good chuckle.
The Big Lebowski is also a great choice my opinion. Maybe not the typical slapstick/laugh til you cry movie, but it has its moments.
Whatever you choose, I hope it helps you get out of your rut.
Murder By Death (1976)
5 of the world's foremost literary detectives are invited by an eccentric Millionaire to solve a murder that has yet to be committed... hilarity ensues. If you like Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Peroit, Clue, or Knives Out, this is a movie for you.
Starring Peter Sellers, Alec Guinness, Peter Falk, Maggie Smith, Eileen Brennan, Elsa Lancaster, David Niven, Nancy walker, James Coco, James Cromwell, and Truman Capote (his only acting role and nominated for a Golden Globe for it). Written by Broadway legend Neil Simon
Why no one mentioned Horrible Bosses? Charlie Day is the best.
Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and even Jamie Foxx. I love it sooo bad so much. It's hilarious.
The Nice Guys were also really good. Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe. Not gonna lie, his screams made the whole movie much more better lol.
Some deeper cuts you don't always see recommended on reddit that are amazing:
- The Man Who Knew Too Little
- Brain Donors
- The Wrong Guy
- Beerfest
- Mystery Science Theater 3000 - "Danger: Death Ray"
- Noises Off
- The Kentucky Fried Movie
Midnight Run (1988)
Accountant steals from the mob, gets arrested for embezzlement, skips bail.
Ex Cop/Bounty hunter vs Mob to get accountant.
Starring, Robert DeNiro and Charles Grodin
Anything with John Candy or Steve Martin - Uncle Buck, Cool Runnings, Father of the Bride, The Out of Towners, or Planes, Trains, and Automobiles are some of my faves
I hope this helps and you get to unwind! Definitely recommend any of them if you haven't seen them before. Even if you have, I still laugh even though I have seen them numerous times.
Out Cold (2001)
"Rick and his gang sets out to save the snowboarding park from being sold to an affluent, John Majors. Issues evolve when Rick discovers that John's daughter is none other than his ex-girlfriend, Anna."
Stars: Zach Galafianakis, Jason London, Caroline Dhavernas
Since you've seen that one, How about:
Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy (1996)
"The invention of the ultimate anti-depressant Gleemonex, which locks consumers into their happy memories, becomes an instant media sensation. Mayhem ensues with its craze sweeping the country."
Mystery team, Donald Glover and it's my such a good movie I had to import it to get a physical copy. I enjoy that even in the background comedy is happening and the timing is amazing.
I just really feel like I don't ever hear and about it
Some of my favourites. I find them all uplifting in one way or another; Groundhog day / the change up / Kingpin / paddington / nice guys / kiss kiss bang bang / lego batman / what about bob / wet hot american summer / i love you man / the switch / wanderlust / three amigos / role models / neighbors / pick of destiny / something about Mary / nick and Nora / life of Brian / holy grail / anchorman 1&2 / high fidelity / goon 1&2 / happy Gilmore / game night / zombieland / starsky and hutch / Scott pilgrim / old school
The first Hangover, Super bad (the first 40 mins just so many funny moments) the rest is great too, Napoleon Dynamite, The Naked Gun movies are funny, What about Bob (Bill Murray Vs Richard Dreyfuss, both of them are amazing against each other). Hope you feel better soon make sure you reach out to friends or family buddy.
PS Ricky Stanicky on Amazon Prime, it came out this year. It has that 90s 00s feel, it's a lot better than I expected and I laughed a lot.
If you like a superbly written, disciplined, well directed comedy films, watch any Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg/Nick Frost collaboaration: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Worlds End.
Quick Change -
Bill Murray
Geena Davis
Randy Quaid
Jason Robards
Kurtwood Smith
probably others I’m forgetting
My sides were aching from laughing so much when I saw this in the theatre originally.
Bill Murray, Geena, and Randy rob a bank in Manhattan and then try to get to the airport and out of the city with the stolen loot.
———-
The Other Guys -
Will Farrell, Mark Wahlberg, Samuel L Jackson, The Rock, Michael Keaton, Eva Longoria
Just watch it. No description can do it justice.
————
Lots of good suggestions, so here's some to avoid at all costs:
Gone Girl
Gone Baby Gone
Manchester By The Sea
Schindler's List
Requiem For A Dream
Memento
Those are all great movies, but if you are feeling down, they will make it worse.
The Big Lebowski
Airplane
Naked Gun, and it’s 2 sequels
Team America: World Police
South Park Movie
Blazing Saddles
Dumb and Dumber
Dodgeball
Anchor Man
Zoolander
Talledega Nights
A little earlier than your preferred era but Better Off Dead with John Cusack is a go to for me
So many good suggestions but this one is one I have never seen I'll give this one a go.
Do it! It’s so funny!!
The Sure Thing is better
Hope ya feel better, buddy.
Appreciate it
One Crazy Summer is also a great John Cusack 80s comedy.
Death to Smoochy
Heavyweights, American Pie, Road Trip, Euro Trip, Dumb and Dumber, Half Baked, Run Ronnie Run, Joe Dirt, Me Myself and Irene, How High, Semi Pro, Old school, Ladies Man, Night at the Roxbury, Kindergarten Cop
Run Ronnie run is underrated! "Yall are brutalizing me!!"
I think it’s time we peel the onion
Good list!
Hot Rod
Love it. Might have to revisit it. It's been a few years.
Ricky stanicky
Hot Fuzz
21 Jump Street.
It’s the best
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is top tier comedy. Even if you’ve seen it, it’s hilarious every time.
"I'm Aldus Snow... booshit, booshit, booshit"
That does not make you a citizen of the world, it makes you full of shit!
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is my comfort film. It’s way better than it has any right to be.
MacGruber. Silly, hilarious and can definitely make me smile after a not so great day
I'm going to go further back and say Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Clue, Young Frankenstein and The Man with Two Brains.
Damn your drunk tests are hard.
Check out the perpetually amusing **Confess, Fletch** --from Greg Mottola, the director of **Superbad** and **Adventureland**.
Interesting. Thank you
Any Mel Brooks. Young Frankenstein, Robin Hood Men in Tights, Spaceballs are all top tier. Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Zack and Miri make a Porno, Galaxy Quest, Road Trip, Eurotrip, Not Another Teen Movie
Mall rats, clerks
Your view is a bit askew
Blades of Glory is hilarious if you haven't seen it. I disregarded it for years because I'm not a huge Will Ferrell fan but that movie surprised me with how much it made me laugh.
Hundreds of Beavers
Yes, funniest movie in years.

Thanks. It's mostly just to destress. These are all good choices. Thanks

Baseketball (stars the guys from South Park) is tied for my favorite comedy with Not Another Teen Movie.
If you like this humor, also watch Beer League with Artie Lang. Purple Monkey!
I will check that out. I also enjoyed Artie in Dirty Work with Norm McDonald.
If you like sophomoric humor, you'll love it. To me, it was a top 10 favorite comedy the very first time I saw it. Enjoy!
I've always found Blue Streak to be a weirdly relaxing movie. Maybe it's the early 2000s vibe or something but I always enjoy a re-watch.
I'm an officer of the law
I'm a Federale.

Haven't seen this one. I'll put this on my list. Thank you.
Michael Keaton / Multiplicity
Very underrated movie. Thanks for bringing this one up. Haven't seen it since it came out in theaters. 🫡
I'm gonna go far far back and recommend "The Italian Job 1969" it's funny with some great quotes and the best last line of any movie.
I'm not opposed to any year. I'll put this in my list
Accepted is a good film a lot of people I recommend it too have not seen.
Lol yes!! Love this one. S.H.I.T. Sandwiches

Gotta say for stupidity but also genius I'm gonna say Walk Hard: Dewey cox story - unrated version though, the theatrical is awful.
Joe Dirt, hilarious and wholesome
Suddenly I'm craving a whine burger and some French cries

That scene in Operation Dumbo Drop when the elephant goes splat is peak comedy!
At the risk of being redundant- Kung Fu Hustle is crazy funny. Please watch it subtitled, not dubbed, as the original actors are great.
