    I would have pegged both Airplane and Caddyshack as 70s movies that dribbled into the 80s

    Carter was still President when both films were released.

    F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off...


    If I have to try and think about the hardest I've ever laughed at a movie, I'm probably going to forget the top 10. But the ones that stick out in my mind are the puppet-fucking sex scene in Team America: World Police; the back-to-back hilarious sex scenes in MacGruber; and the scene in Pee Wee's Big Adventure in which he's on a hog outside the biker bar, they're all saying goodbye to him, he twists the throttle, immediately crashes into a billboard, and they cartwheel a dummy Pee Wee out from behind. The timing and execution of that last gag is so impeccable that it gets me every tim.

    Taken in their entirety, though, Naked Gun and Airplane are in a dead heat from this list.

    I was a wee lad in the 80's but have seen most on the list of nominees. 80's is not a super strong decade if this is the best of comedy, IMO.

    I almost wrote in Pee Wee’d Big Adventure as a joke.

    You shut your dirty whore mouth.

    80’s the greatest decade of the last two centuries.

    The 80s were a glorious time to be a Kalifag. It kinda sucks now. No offense @RaceBannon
