Comedies that are funnier a few years later

[narc]

<p>Have you ever had the experience of watching a movie that you don't find particularly hilarious, but then you rewatch it years later, give it another chance, and all of the sudden it's hysterical?</p><p>For me, Innerspace is one of those movies. I find myself quoting lines from it, even though I don't think anybody else will necessarily get them because they're humorous enough to me anyways. For me, it's also about the character actors - the triple threat of Victor Scrimshaw, Mr. Igoe and Robert Picardo's The Cowboy are I think some of the most underrated comedic villains.</p><p> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.robertpicardo.com/filmography/inner3.jpg" border="0" width="268" height="179" /></p><p>I should totally have that made into a sigpic.&nbsp;</p>

Zoolander was that to me.

<p>Kids in the Hall was that for me, big time. </p><p>I never got it at first, but a couple years ago when they used to replay it on Comedy Central ad nauseum, I started watching again and it was hysterical. </p>

<p>I was too young to appreciate Real Genius, but the older I got, the more quotable lines I got out of that movie...Val Kilmer was a damn good comedic actor between that movie and Top Secret!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>and Martin Short is too underappreciated and too under-utilized.. I'm always laughing whenever he's on tv/movies etc.&nbsp; I think he's funnier than any of his contemporaries like Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, et. al.&nbsp;</p>

Schindler's List. Originally it was too soon, now ok.

Naked Gun now that I know Norberg deserved all those beatings he took.

Also, &quot;The Freshman&quot; with Matthew Broderick. I think the highlight of the film for me is when the German guy sings, without warning and for no apparent reason, &quot;My heart swims in blood&quot; in German.

<p>Office Space.</p><p>I saw it in college and didn't like it much.&nbsp;It wasn't until I had worked in an office, that I really got the movie. So much of it is crap you experience working corporate America.&nbsp;I still quote it all the time.</p>

[NewYorkDragons80]

Space Balls barely broke even when it first came out, but now it's legendary

<p>the gold rush by charly chaplin</p><p>now i get the whole shoe eating bit</p>
