New Research Lists the Funniest Movies of All Time. But What’s Missing?

What's the funniest movie you've seen this year? Did the old phrase "laugh a minute" apply?  The movie subscription service Lovefilm has released new research they say confirms the comedy "Airplane" is the funniest movie of all time.

A panel of members of the service recorded the total number of times each film generated a laugh, then divided it by the films' total length in minutes to calculate the precise "laugh a minute" rating.

Using the "laugh a minute" score, here's the top ten funniest movies:

• 1. Airplane - 3 Laughs A Minute
• 2. The Hangover - 2.4 Laughs A Minute
• 3. The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad ! - 2.3 Laughs A Minute
• 4. Superbad - 1.9 Laughs A Minute
• 5. Borat - 1.7 Laughs A Minute
• 6. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy - 1.6 Laughs A Minute
• 7. American Pie - 1.5 Laughs A Minute
• 8. Bridesmaids - 1.4 Laughs A Minute
• 9. Shaun of the Dead - 1.3 Laughs A Minute
• 10. Life of Brian - 1.2 Laughs A Minute

By the way, the funniest movie for our family is The great Outdoors.I really enjoyed Planes, Trains, and automobiles, too. Maybe it was a John Candy thing but those movies made me bust a gut!
