I love comedies from the 80s, they had a more innocent vibe to them, comedy today is too jaded. Summer Rental is another favorite of mine Seems like it's all about shock value...most of the time it's not that funny. I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain. |

User ID: 43520842 United States07/18/2013 04:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know I'm an old fart, but what's happened to comedy movies? I was watching Ghostbusters the other day with my kids and that movie is hysterical. I just don't find the newer crop nearly as funny. Quoting: *Rhombus* What's your favorite comedy from the 70s-90s? Agreed. Too much of today's live-actor comedy movies are just too stupid to be funny. Ghostbusters was epic. The Blues Brothers and Blazing Saddles were awesome. Dragnet with Dan Aykroyd was pretty good. Today, the best comedies are cartoons like Despicable Me. That was a hilarious movie.
