Whats your favourite 'Scary Movie'? (the actual movies called 'Scary Movie')

I have yet to single you out, Storm. That's why I refer to people as the majority.

As for Chris' point, it's simple.

Movies like "Caddyshack" are classic examples of comedy that may have a few raunchy jokes here and there, but rely more heavily on stuff like situational humor, individial comedic performances, or in "Airplane!", sight gags.

Movies like "American Pie" and "Euro-Trip" are classic examples of "comedy" that totally rely on teen humor, sex, and a cast of B rate actors which kids can identify with to sell their movies.

Does anyone remember John Hughes, here? It's a shame that people lump "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club" in the same genre as "American Pie" or "Euro-Trip".

Two totally different plot devices, two totally different eras, and I guaran-damn-tee you that any of Hughes's movies are better than today's pathetic excuse for "teen comedy".

well all i no is that i agree cadyshack was f'ing awsome, but i also think that euro trip was awsome to. i just dont like your deffinition of repectible taste. like scary movie 3 good have been goood without sex and what not, but all they did to make jokes was micheal jackson and beat the hell out of a kid. thats not funny. if they but other jokes in there that were funn ythen sure why not.

Using Airplane vs. American Pie

By raunchy jokes here and there we have stuff like the lady over the P.A. system at the airport unloading zone talking about getting an abortion, as opposed to Jim’s Dad talking about stroking the salami when he was younger.

By situational humor we have scenes like Striker’s Saturday Night Fever music flashback scene vs. Jim “going the distance” twice with Nadia.

By individual comedic performances we have the woman who spoke jive or Lloyd Bridges manning the madhouse at the air traffic control “I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue” vs. Jason Biggs sticking his schlong in an apple pie.

And by sight gags we have the inflatable auto-pilot scene (classic) or the s*hit hitting the fan visual, instead of Stiffler getting whizzed on from above (part two).
