I’m attending the Toronto International Film Festival this week, so thought the time was right to bring out a list of films that are (as far as I can tell), just straight-out fun, no deep thinking required. Because sometimes you just need to lie back into a soft sofa, put your feet up, and laugh your ass off.

• Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (69, dude!)
• Caddyshack (Get in the hole!)
• Airplane! (Roger, Over, Roger)
• The Producers (original with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel – Never put your own money in the show!)
• Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (I know you are but what am I?)

If you’re not sure you can do this if it’s not on a to-do list, you can check off your way through AFI’s “100 Years, 100 Laughs.”

As you can see, my list (and sense of humor I guess!) is biased to pre-1990. What would make your fave five list?
