Something riotously funny. She enjoyed The Mexican, with Brad Pitt, if that gives you any idea.

15. That's a great one too!
I cringe at the idea of the remake. Broadway's different.

18. For those who like Britcoms, I recommend
The Wrong Box (1964) with Michael Caine, Peter Sellers, Ralph Richardson, John Mills, and a host of others, a Victorian era farce about two rival families trying to inherit the same money

or

Clockwise (1985 or so) with John Cleese playing, well, can you imagine Basil Fawlty as a school headmaster? He runs his school like Captain Bligh until his life begins to fall apart when he takes a wrong turn in a train station.

Anyway, how about "Napoleon Dynamite"?

22. The Mexican would've been fine with Pitt
Or Roberts for that matter. I thought James Gandolfini and JK Simmons were the true assets of a pretty forgettable movie.

21. The Pink Panther
Dr. Strangelove, although not really comedy more of a satire, it still was enormously funny.



Peter Sellers was a genius.

24. Meet the Feebles
By Peter Jackson (went on to do LOTR). Movie about low-brow derelict puppet theatre. Perverse but hilarious.
