Airplane is right up there all right, Shirley. I also really liked Galaxy Quest, and let's not forget some of the oldies, like Duck Soup.

Weekend at Bernies, and Weekend at Bernies 2.

That's the sort of humor that will get you by for the times ahead.

"Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex *"

One of Woody Allen's early efforts; a series of skits, some very funny.

"Young Frankenstein"

Mel Brooks best movie.

Both these movies featured Gene Wilder.

Perhaps the funniest scene in all moviedom is from Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles where Gene Wilder is facing down a whole bunch of bad guys with pistols pointed at him. Wilder just grins with his arms folded across his chest - pan to bad guys having all their guns shot out of their hands in a flash - pan back to Wilder: still grinning, still with arms folded.
