The bad black guy in Robocop had one of the best laughs I’ve heard. If I could laugh like him I’d be the life of every party.
Thanks, Arthur.
Weather reports are not movies, Mike. Unless they are shown inside of Transformers movies.
What is wrong with you?

The Pink Panther Strikes Again
Quest for Fire
Hugo Weaving’s Tony Abbott impression from Matrix Revolutions
@Keith_Leith made me start thinking about the Coen Brothers, even though I disagree with his weird Barton Fink reasoning, so I remembered one of my favorite laughs from one of their movies:
The whole scene is great for laughter, but my favorite is Holly Hunter laughing after William Forsythe (Evelle Snopes) responds to them saying they’ve named their baby Junior, just Junior, with, “You mean ‘JR’ just like the TeeVee show?”
Her laugh is so real. I just love it.

Okay, okay. I know it’s a terrible movie. Just terrible. Try to bear with me.
Get a load of Michael Sheen’s laugh in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2.
It’s so infamous that he’s even gone on record with the idea behind the laugh.
I just think Arthur needs to be acknowledged in any discussion of laughs.
If I was more awake when I sent my email I would have included Forest Whitaker in Last King of Scotland. He’s got a pretty great “I’m having a good time but I might kill you anyway” laugh in that.
The Predator - Billy’s - laugh at the end of The Predator! Maniacal!
Jurassic Park
And of course the remix:
The only one I can think to add is Withnail&I
Came to post this, thanks.
Also, this, because watching it loop makes me laugh every time. Literally, every time, it’s like a contest to see how long I can go before I start losing it.

And if we want to go way back (because I’m old), I give you, from 1928, The Man Who Laughs
Fun fact: This movie was a direct inspiration for the creation of The Joker.
Damn it I forgot Labyrinth!
Also, I just thought of this one from Groundhog Day, where his seduction of Andie Macdowell begins to unravel due to desperation and creepy laughter
