STUFF THAT MAKES ME SMILE


STUFF THAT MAKES ME SMILE

People often ask, “Cranky is there anything that makes you smile?”

Stupid question, of course there is a lot that makes me smile, here are a few that come to mind along with a comedy movie list just to create a little controversy.

These things make me smile:
A Prius at the gas pump

Whistler Ducks

A pro golfer mishitting the ball

The Patriots losing to the Giants

Cleavage that jiggles

Chris Rock

Farts

Grandchildren

Melissa McCarthy

Blog comments

Labrador puppies

Mrs. Cranky


Ten funniest movies ever (In no particular order):

Caddyshack

My Cousin Vinnie

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

The Jerk

Arthur (Dudley Moore)

DodgeBall

The Nutty Professor (Jerry Lewis)

Trading Places

Young Frankenstein

Spaceballs

I know, a lot of you are asking:

“How could you leave out ‘Airplane’ or any of the ‘Police Academy’ movies?” I could never watch those movies all the way through from beginning to end…very funny stuff but only in small doses.

Except for the campfire scene, I just am not a fan of "Blazing Saddles." And for you "Animal House" fans, I watched it recently... Meh!

  1. I like My Cousin Vinnie and the Jerry Lewis version of The Nutty Professor, but I can't stand Dudley Moore, not in anything.
    I like Blazing Saddles too, when that first came out we bought it on VHS and my youngest son watched it every day of every school holidays until it broke, so we got him a new one...and so on until dvds were invented, then we bought him the dvd version. He's 33 now and still watches it.

  2. How about My Big Fat Greek Wedding? I don't watch many movies, so I'm not qualified to pass judgement on many on your list, but I enjoyed MBFGW. Actually, just typing MBFGW is sorta funny. Have a great weekend. I hope you find much to smile about. :)

  5. Cute kitten photos Joe? Surely cute kitten photos make you smile ....

    Definitely the camp fire scene in Blazing Saddles and last night I watched The Sure Thing, a very early John Cusack film which made me laugh out loud several times.

  7. I agree with you on Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Young Frankenstein, but can't say I'm with you on the others. I'd add Vacation, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Bridesmaids, Tropic Thunder and my all-time favourite funny movie, Without A Paddle!

  10. I remember the first time I saw Woody Allen in "Sleeper" I laughed so hard I hurt the next day. "Animal House" never fails to make me laugh. I love walking around the U of O campus and seeing the places filmed in the movie. I also recently smiled at a YouTube video of a goat that went on a hunger strike and wouldn't eat for six days until reunited with his best friend, a donkey.

  13. Ok, I just had to see what makes Cranky smile. Patriots losing to anyone does it for me.
    A perfect list of guy movies, haven't seen one of them. Sorry. The Gods Must be Crazy was my speed.

  16. I've gotta agree with you on The Jerk. Not claiming they're top ten, or even appropriate viewing, but some of my recent favorites are The House Bunny, Bad Teacher, and The Heat. Surely you can laugh at The Heat. It has Melissa McCarthy!

  17. I'm a big fan of all the movies you mentioned but the OLD movie that STILL makes me laugh the most is "It's A Mad, Mad World."
