I've kind of been out of the loop regarding movies.  Rarely go to the cinema, and half the time, its with the kids to watch a kids movie.  The other reason is not much has interested me.

But one thing has bothered me, and I'm wondering whether anywhere here might have some recommendations.  I do enjoy a good, witty comedy, but I've enjoyed very few, if any, new ones over the past, oh so many years.

I'm someone who enjoys screwball comedies, the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker movies (Naked Gun, Flying High, etc), some of the Police Academy, Monty Python.  John Candy was in some good movies, Uncle Buck, Planes, Trains and Automobiles.  Other favourites are Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, This is Spinal Tap, Mrs Doubtfire.  Tropic Thunder was a good one, more recent, but even that is well over a decade old now

It seems there were many from the 70s, 80s and 90s but I haven't noticed many coming out in more recent years. I think the last I saw was "Office Party", which was ages ago, and OK.

Anyone seen or know of anything good and new worth watching?
