I haven't seen it in years but I always felt it was overrated. My favorite comedies are probably The Big Lebowski, Dumb and Dumber and This is Spinal Tap, strictly in terms of what makes me laugh most anyway.
I've always thought that Dumb and Dumber is how comedy should be done at all times. Lebowski is in my top 5. Was never a huge fan of This is Spinal Tap, though.

Airplane! was the best comedy movie.

Then you need to watch it again. I try to pop that in about once a month. I still laugh my ass off watching it.

Dumb and Dumber is incredible. The jokes come almost as fast as in a Zucker or Mel Brooks "screwball" comedy, and the quality is much higher.

I saw 25th Hour when it first came out and was unimpressed. But I was also most likely stoned. Maybe I'll give it another look.

I have Dumb and Dumber in a three way tie with Caddyshack and Blazing Saddles for funniest movie ever.

Saw Doubt, Charlie Wilson's War and Capote in the last two weeks. Not necessarily here to comment on the films, rather than on Philip Seymour Hoffman. He's almost surely the best actor we have today. I absolutely hate biographies, especially of people that I know/knew of, and he took one of the most cartoonish characters off all time and was believable in portraying him. Astounding.
