In the 80s, I thought DC Cab was funny. Saw it again a few weeks ago. Not as funny as I remembered.

Volunteers with Tom Hanks was pretty good.

The Night Before with Keanu Reeves and a young Lori Loughlin

Real Men with Jim Belushi and John Ritter

Better Off Dead as others have mentioned

Is that the one where Belushi recruits Ritter to do some secret agent stuff? Had never heard of that but I caught that late one night and actually enjoyed it.

Better Off Dead, The Lost Boys, License To Drive. I know they've been mentioned but those are the favs.

Speaking of Tom Hanks and Jim Belushi, I really liked The Man With One Red Shoe. Plus Carrie Fisher in leopard spot undies!

Those aren't comedies. I was just ****ing with you guys. By all means, carry on.

Anyone remember the movie "After Hours"? It's a Martin Scorcese comedy (dark comedy, I suppose) about a very ordinary guy in New York who goes out to meet a girl he doesn't really know, then loses his keys and his wallet and spends the rest of the evening just trying to find a way to get back home. It's a great movie that didn't get much attention, probably because the humor and the characters were definitely offbeat. Worth watching, especially for anyone who really lived the 80's.
