3x3: favorite laughter in movies

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

I think that @Kelly_Wand might have been referencing this laughter:

Well, it was a killing joke.

Can’t find a clip. but I always thought the scene in Planes, Trains and Automobiles where they bond and get drunk had some infectous laughter.

But obviously the best laugh in movie history belonged to the great Burt Reynolds.

“Soothing, relaxing,… vibrating home.”

There’s a smaller one earlier, but that’s the main one.

I offered to arrest myself for this one, but I think I managed to successfully defend it. It’s the laugh of a sociopath who has no empathy. It’s strictly mechanical. It actually sounds like a tiny bell ringing.

Dreyfus doing his best Dreyfus.

And as I mentioned on the podcast, watch that whole scene for a two-and-a-half-minute single-shot masterclass in blocking.

I don’t know how the fuck I forgot this, considering it’s one of my all time favorite movies:
