Funny, memorable quotes from comedy movies can be applied to everyday situations, making them timeless and circulating through cultural references for decades. The best funny lines are easy to remember and have flawless delivery, enhancing the humor and making them even better when delivered by talented actors. Some hilarious lines from comedy movies are even better without context.
The best lines in comedy movies or any other films are often the ones that can be applied to everyday situations, the ones that make someone laugh when they randomly pop into their head, even without context. Comedy as a genre is huge, and the ability to make people laugh is impertinent. A good comedy is timeless, and no matter how old a film is, a funny line will be remembered, from Ace Ventura to Shrek.
It's worth noting that there is an almost unlimited number of funny lines to pick out...

It’s New Year’s Eve once again over at Trailers From Hell, so you know what that means, fellow cineastes: it’s Val Kilmer’s birthday!
As such, our Kilmer Birthday Committee (of one) will continue its annual tradition of watching one Val classic in celebration. Tonight’s entertainment: the criminally under-seen and intensely silly Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker adventure comedy Top Secret! (1984), a mash-up Elvis musical/spy caper parody picture. This relentlessly unserious entertainment carries special significance for Kilmerphiles, as it brought the world Val’s first-ever feature film role.
Now when Val Kilmer makes his celluloid acting debut, he’s not just some featured extra, or the 12th lead, or whatever. Don’t be silly. He’s the star, damn it.
In Top Secret!, that means he’s Nick Rivers, a Presley-esque rock and roller who finds himself inadvertently at the heart of an attempted hostile overseas takeover. This raucous...

DVD Review: "Hitler's S.S.: Portrait Of Evil" (1986) Starring John Shea, Bill Nighy And Tony Randall
By Doug Oswald
“Hitler’s SS: A Portrait of Evil” is a 1986 made-for TV movie telling the fictional story of Helmut (Bill Nighy) and Karl Hoffmann (John Shea), brothers who become a part of Hitler’s rise to power in Germany. The movie opens in 1931 as we meet the brothers, their family, friends and associates. Hoping they can sway and minimalize the radical elements through their intellect and character, Helmut and Karl willingly join the Nazi Party.
The Hoffmann brothers are eager participants in the Nazi party early on as their mother Gerda (Carroll Baker) provides worried commentary. Factory worker Karl joins the Sa while his university student brother Helmut is coaxed into joining the SS by fencing instructor Reinhard Heydrich (David Warner), much to the objection of his mentor and Jewish professor Ludwig Rosenberg (Jose Ferrer). Tony Randall is interesting appearing as a comic performer for the Nazis known as Putzi.

We rewatched the classic 1980s comedy, Top Secret! It took surgeons two weeks to wipe the smile off our face...

"Yes, I am Albert Potato"
If you're laughing at the quote above, then it's fair to say that you're already a Top Secret! fan. But if you're wondering what that actually means, then chances are you've missed out on one of the very best comedies that the 1980s had to offer.
Now the classic comedy Airplane!, rightfully, has been the beneficiary of some hugely forensic work, just to try and keep on top of its many, many background jokes. In fact, one DVD edition had a special feature just to point out all the things you may have missed on your first, tenth or fiftieth time around. Turns out there were...

Hey, remember that movie that played constantly on Comedy Central about a decade ago? No, not Half-Baked, National Lampoon’s Vacation, or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. That’s right. Top Secret! is now re-released on a special "I Love the 80s" Edition of the DVD.
The brain-child of Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker, the people behind Airplane! and The Naked Gun, Top Secret! is a double-header parody of both Elvis movies and war movies, featuring American rock and roll star Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer in his first movie) traveling to East Germany to give a concert. Through a series of unfortunate events, he gets caught up with Hillary Flammond (Lucy Gutteridge), a member of the East German resistance, who is trying to break her father (Michael Gough) out of prison with the help of her comrades. As the film-makers wholeheartedly admit themselves, that’s about as far as the plot goes.
