Okay, with Bunny and me feeling down, and maybe others, too, we need some fun!  So tell me what movies, books, or tv shows have made you laugh. What are some good, forget-your-cares,  no-tears-but-tears-of-laughter things can you recommend?

There are really many feel good movies that I've seen throughout the years and I'm sure you've seen them all but here they are:


It's complicated
Pretty woman
(the one with Helen Hunt and jack Nickolson)
Mrs Doubtfire
Forrest Gump
War of the roses
First Wives Club (hawn, Midler, keaton)
Private Benjamin
Overboard
Somethings Gotta Give (keaton/Nicohlson)


Of course there is always the TV series:


Golden Girls

Billy Crystal (who I think is very funny) wrote a book - 700 Sundays. It was very enjoyable. The Crystals had a very funny family and a good life.

Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books make me laugh out loud. Some are funnier than others. They are just so silly and fun. Can You Keep a Secret (Sophie Kinsella) was pretty funny too. I listened to it and it was read by a Brit and that really added to it. I also think Harlen Coben's books with the Myron Bolitar character are rather humorous.

I'm movie challenged so I can't even think of funny movies right now.

I think the Office is funny. DH and I always liked watching old re-runs of the Honeymooners - they were always good for a laugh.

I agree, some of the old shows were the funniest.

Yeah, I'm in awe of how he can keep going and going, hardly slowing his paddling cadence at all - at least it appears so in the videos he's done.
