I have been sorting out my library of movies and tv programmes and came across a film I must have watched about 100 times and still find it funny every time I watch it.
The film I am talking about is TWIN TOWN, if you have never seen it, watch it, in my opinion one of the funniest films I have ever seen.
Just out of curiosity, what is the funniest film you have ever seen? Has to be Twin Town in my opinion, but then I am from the Valleys and understand the black humour.

I have seen it and i think its very funny ;D ;D :y

The location for much of the filming was in Swansea and surrounds, and whilst many thought it to be hilarious (including moi), it apparently ruffled a few feathers in this fair city.
Fatty Lewis, Greyo etc etc - excellent stuff :y

I never knew until a few months ago that the guy who played Mr Mort, who was waiting in the car with the twins whilst his wife was in the doctors getting the tamazepam was no other than Ronnie Williams, of Ryan & Ronnie fame, sadly, he will not be in the sequel as he committed suicide a couple of years ago. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Carry ons, Police Academies,.. Dumb & Dumber is a scream even when you know what's going to happen! ;D

Carry On films I liked, especially the old Black and White ones, have em all here, along with all Will Hay films, Dumb and Dumber was very predictable, Police Academy was good, well the 1st one was hilarious, but wore thin as they progressed, but yes, all good films.

Spot on Di, that scene was actually filmed under the M4 elevated section near Pentyla, Port Talbot.
I've also heard that there's a sequel in the offing. :D ;D

Twin Town Sequel
The director of cult 1990s black comedy Twin Town is aiming to reunite some of the cast for a follow-up he is writing. Directed by Kevin Allen it starred Rhys Ifans, his real life brother Llyr and a host of Welsh character actors.
Allen, who grew up in Swansea, said he felt the time was right to revisit some of the characters and the city.
"I would say it's a follow-up. It's Swansea 12 years on," he said.
"I've changed and the city has changed - the landscape has changed a lot. It seems like the right time."
He said he had spoken to the Ifans brothers and they were keen to revisit their roles.
"Bringing the twins back is the obvious continuum. They are both well up for it."
He said he and his writing partner Paul Durden had yet to sit down and start the script but he had some ideas of where he wanted the characters to go.
"We have the money to write it and then we'll go and make it," he added.
The Lewis Bros, as played by the Ifans Bros, closed out the first film by heading off to Morocco and, apparently, the sequel concept has them returning as Muslim fundamentalists. It has the working title of Fatty Al Akbar, a pun on the Arabic takbir ‘Allahu Akbar’, meaning God is Great.
A script for the sequel is to be written in 2010, and has a estimated release date for sometime in 2011.
So, yes, it looks like there WILL be a sequel out next year. Can't wait personally, but usually sequels are never up to the originals standard.

Who's the actor that plays the roofing supremo Brin Cartwright then?
Is it William Thomas per chance?

Another hilarious film, but this time centred on the Emerald Isle, is 'Man about dog'
It didn't seem to hit the big time, but it's a brilliant tale centred on three Belfast lads who live on their wits - literally!

I just watched Van Wilder 2 whilst getting hacked of with the Sky box.
Gave me a good laugh, especially the umberella bit in the dog show scene. ;D ;D

You could also try another Welsh classic
VERY ANNIE MARY. Really Good. Llyr Ifans was also in that, along with Jonathan Pryce and Ruth Madoc.

Twas filmed in our neighbouring Garw Valley.
My parents former neighbour, Grafton Radcliffe starred as the vicar, and my uncle was seen in the local male voice choir, who were drafted in for that scene. ;)

He played the Mayor, and was credited in the film as Radcliffe Grafton, maybe an error but that is what he was credited as.

I stand corrected missus - you're absolutely spot on! :y

All brilliant films mentioned above, I like Blazing Saddles, remember my father being in tears watching the farting scene.

Tell you another good laugh - 'The Money Pit' starring Tom Hanks and Shelley Long.
And the building contractors, Shirk Bros; what a carry on!

Cant remember, but Texas Chainsaw Massacure's and Clockwork Orange were, and possibly The Entiyt, but they have all been shown on TV since.

One of my favourite scenes in Twin Town is this one with Keith Allen.

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven. :y :y :y
I was so pissed off when they cut to adverts during the Live Earth concert in 2007 just when all the bass players came out on stage for the "bass off"
