Recommend some "clean" comedy movies

[Kai Lord]

I'm trying to add more Comedy DVD's to my collection, but don't want any laced with profanity, nudity, or gross out humor. Napoleon Dynamite is probably a perfect example of what I'm looking for, but how many movies are like that? Meet the Parents is pretty good too. Can anyone help me think of more?

My son thinks "Master of Disguise" is high art. I find it painfully idiotic. So most kids will probably love it.

If you like romantic comedy, try the movie "Return to Me." David Duchovney (sp?) and Minnie Driver with a great supporting cast.

It's a romantic comedy/drama (pretty light on the drama but good). There is a little salty language from one of the supporting characters (played by Jim Belushi) but it's nothing I haven't heard on basic cable TV.

I feel sure that this is already part of the collection but I always enjoy watching Shrek and Shrek II. Something for both kids and adults in both...

The Muppet Movie
Spongebob Squarepants Movie
Clue
The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle
Young Frankenstein
Rustler's Rhapsody
Vegas Vacation
Hudson Hawk
Murder by Death
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Galaxy Quest
Elf
Noises Off...

Those are all in my collection.

There was a great comedy movie in the '80s called Crazy People (IIRC) about some lunatics who start an advertising company. I think it starred Dudley Moore.

It's not suitable for kids only because there are lots of references to big '80s advertising campaigns. There's no violence, profanity or sex to speak of.

Another possible film is the action comedy The Princess Bride. There is some violence but it's rather cartoonish. Again, no profanity or sex to speak of.

"Jaguar: For guys who want handjobs from beautiful women they don't even know."

There's a little profanity in it.

But it is a very funny movie.

disney movies are always good for kid-friendly/clean humor, if you don't have them already, my top choices are:

Animated:
Aladdin
The Emperor's New Groove (highly underrated)
Lilo and Stitch
EVERYTHING by Pixar:
- Toy Story I and II
- A Bug's Life
- Monsters Inc.
- Finding Nemo
- The Incredibles
Hercules (which is entertaining, but requires forgetting everything about classical mythology)
The Aristocats
Most of the "Pooh" movies are surprisingly good

Live Action:
The Princess Diaries
Disney's The Kid
Roger Rabbit
The Parent Trap (both the original and the remake)
