Pounding at a thick stone wall won't move it, sometimes, you need to step back to see the way around.
How Steve Martin (who in his own right is quite funny) could allow himself to destroy such classics by recreating them but putting himself in the lead role is beyond me. The two Steve Martin versions made me angrier than any comedy film should.

Isn't that an exaggeration? I agree that Forrest Gump was a terrible movie, but was it really the worst thing that could happen in the history of the world?
I recommend The Producers as a great comedy. (The original one that is, with Gene Wilder, Zero Mostel, and Dick Shawn.) The tastes in this thread seem to running a bit broad though, so maybe Blazing Saddles would be better? It depends which you like more: irony or farce ... although both movies definitely have great examples of both.
