Favorite Ironically funny movies!

My top 5.

1. American Psycho

2. Starship troopers

3. Predator

4. Conan: The Destroyer

5. Equilibrium

Movies that were not intended to be funny but had you laughing the whole way through. These movies are in my opinion the all stars of this type of film. They exhibit the most memorable dialogue, characters, and plot to have ever graced the silver screen...in an ironic way.

What do you think? Do you agree? What are you favorites?

Actually,your no.1 film on that list "american psycho" was supposed to be funny. Both the Brett Easton Ellis Book and the movie were meant as both black comedy and satire of a certian generation/mindset. So there is really nothing ironic about it being funny. What is Ironic is the amount of people from filmgoers to critics that missed the point and took it at face value as a thriller/horror movie.mattykovax

American Psycho was suppose to be funny.

Also Village of the Damned would be my pick.

Intentional or not, many took it as a thriller/horror movie. I believe the people who saw it as a satire or saw it being ironically funny were the same people who appreciate ironically funny movies. The thing thats weird about the movie is that its listed on some of the "top scarry scenes" like vh1 and yet it was pretty humorous..

:lol: your list is ironically funny because american psycho is a comedy.LoG-Sacrament

Well the point of this thread for me was to discover other movies that I could watch with the same sort of humor. American Psycho is listed on many sites including IMDB as being "crime, horror, mystery, thriller" so the assumption that it wasn't intended to be funny isn't a bad one.

Well to be fair even if it is a satire that doesn't mean that the public is stupid if they don't find it funny. But yeah, Starship troopers is also a satire so if the point of your posts were to get me saying "you know you were right" I'll give you an extra bit of cheese to feed on. Two of my movies were satirical and not ironically funny I suppose. Either way I laughed my tail off.

Twilight. I laughed my ass off at the horrible acting and special effects.Isbrealiompie

Same. I still laugh at some "intense" parts :lol: Also, the exorcist. I've never actally seen the whole thing, but I really laughed at the parts I did see.

Well if I find it funny then I'm atleast picking up on the humor that comes with satire. Either way, like I said to the other guy I'll just say that you were right that it is satire. I'll also give you another scrap to feast on which is that starship troopers is also a satire so two of my five are satires.

Schindler's List.karriston

Dude that's f'ed up.

I'd go with the Saw movies just because of how stupidly over the top they are.

Schindler's List.karriston

Agreed, every part with Liam Neeson in the beginning half of the movie was hilarious.
