Top 5 funniest films

Trying to find something really funny to watch this evening that we haven’t seen. Suggestions please!

Mine are:

Hot Fuzz
Blues Brothers
Shaun of the Dead
Ghostbusters
The Cabin in the Woods 
Galaxy Quest

Life of brian
holy grail. 

This Is Spinal Tap

Mallrats

Office Space

Mike and Dave need wedding dates(extended cut)

Dumb and Dumber

Tropic Thunder

Only 5? This is difficult!

Kind Hearts and Coronets
Hot Fuzz
Back to School
My Cousin Vinnie
Young Frankenstein

Would all be up there, but there are loads of other contenders.

Have you seen What's up doc? 
Excellent homage to screwball comedy and very fun.

Five is too restrictive, but some contenders in no particular order:

Hot Shots Part Deux
Spaceballs
Tommy Boy
Airplane
Analyze This

Napoleon Dynamite
Bad Grandpa
Step Brothers
Anchorman
Tropic Thunder

For those of you struggling with 5, just be unable to count, like Sticky. 

Awesome suggestions so far, I’m sure we’ll find one amongst that lot - thanks!!

And WTP - no - maybe we’ll check that one out!

The Producers
Bedazzled
School for Scoundrels
Playtime
Top Secret!

I don't think these have been mentioned:

Airplane! I can find something new in it every time. 
The Naked Gun.
The Naked Gun 2.5 (these two are a bit mushed together in my memory).
The Hangover (funnier than it has a right to be)
The Man With Two Brains (I last watched this on VHS so it's been a while). 

I like TV format comedy (and stand up or sketch type things) but I always struggle with film format comedy, it seems much harder to do the kinds of things I like about comedy in that over produced glossy type format and I also find that many films which are trying to be comedy come across as a bit needy. I also can't watch anything that is trying to be funny based on a Jim Carrey, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell stereotype of character as I guess i just don't get goofy slapstick and silly faces etc. This all makes me sound very dull I know, but overthinking is kind of my only real strength in life

So I'll offer my top five films which make or made me laugh for various different reasons

Shrek
Shaun of the Dead
Wallace & Gromit Curse of the Were Rabbit
Donnie Darko (some excellent script writing in that)
Airplane

Hot Rod
Blazing Saddles
Elf
4.  Tbc
5.  Tbc

The Jerk
Dr Strangelove
Princess Bride
Young Frankenstein (or Blazing Saddles)
Some Like it Hot

Some great suggestions from others

1. A Shot In The Dark
2. Mousehunt
3. Young Frankenstein
4. Stir Crazy
5. Anything featuring Laurel & Hardy

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Trading Places
Mallrats
The Naked Gun
Blazing Saddles

I have a maths degree you know!!

(Which means I canjust about count to 2π then I'm out...)

Anyway, I'm not taking one off my list. But I'll add a bonus in The Wrong Trousers. I'm not sure if it counts as a film but it's utterly perfect. 

Late entry for National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, surely perfect for this time of year. 

Anchorman 1
Semi Pro
Popstar
Happy Gilmore
There's Something About Mary (and anything else by the Farelly brothers) 
Zack and Miri Make a Porno
The Vacation (and anything else National Lampoon) 
Heartbreak Kid (remake) 
Coming to America

Withnail and I 

Braindead
It's a Gift

Spinal Tap
Galaxy Quest
Young Frankenstein
Laurel & Hardy with the piano
Life of Brian

A lot of mine already mentioned so I'll go for Bowfinger. 

Young Frankenstein
 Dodgeball
 There's Something about Mary
 Horsefeathers
The Proposal
