I need some seriously funny movies.

Every list of funniest movies I've found doesn't cut it. If Fast Times at Ridgemount High or Mrs. Doubtfire are on it, it is not a worthwhile list (Fast Times being a much more dramatic than comedic movie).

Suggestions of great comedies?

windedsailor,
I don't know if you've seen Living in Oblivion, but if you haven't you should definitely check it out. It stars Steve Buscemi as an increasingly frustrated indie film director on the set of his movie. This goes for everyone else, too. I'd recommend it. It's by Tom DiCillo, Jarmusch's original DP, and it's from 1995.

I'll check these out Argo, but I don't know if I can trust your sense of humor because In Bruges, although a great film, may not be too funny.

And to answer your question T:

Spinal Tap
The Jerk
40-year old Virgin
Caddyshack
Something About Mary
Princess Bride
Lebowski
Wallace and Gromit
Young Frankenstein
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
South Park
Bottle Rocket
Best in Show
Birdcage
Election
Galaxy Quest
Tropic Thunder
Airplane!
Superbad

OK.

I have to recommend "Vampire's Kiss" to anyone i think might appreciate it. it's not necessarily a comedy, but funny as hell. Best Nicholas Cage performance by far; blows Leaving Las Vegas away. should've been his Oscar role.

Moving on:

Office Space
A Fish Called Wanda
Groundhog Day
Grandma's Boy
Happy Gilmore

I love Ace Ventura:Pet Detective and Liar Liar too, though i understand they aren't for everybody...

i just saw Hancock with will smith and thought the first half was very funny- it disintegrated after that though

It's funny. These are all funny.

I don't movies are subjective at all. Either you have good taste or you don't.

Some more:

Spaceballs
Spies Like Us
Meet The Parents
History Of The World Part 1.
Blazzing Saddles
Robin Hood Men in Tights (really)
Fletch
Trading Places
Coming To America

Anyone ever seen What's up, Tigerlily? It's such an odd concept I had to watch it twice but it really was funny.
