That's definitely my favorite comedy of all time.<p>"I love Steve Martin and that kind of silly nonsense comedy. I'm a huge Steve Martin fan and I think that's one of his best.<p>"And you know a movie's good when there are so many great quotable lines in it. I'm always quoting that movie, though I can't think of a line now because I'm on the spot! I just love that movie.

That's easy: '<a href="http://movies.nextmovie.com/being-there-/M0-001-000009424-8" target="_blank">Being There</a>.' It's not just a comedy. It's a deeply touching drama. It really crosses genres in an amazing way. When I first saw it, I was totally amazed. In that movie, Peter Sellers isn't just an actor, he is like... a savant. That role required someone with a special talent and he nailed it. And Shirley MacLaine? Also amazing! I just really, really love that movie."</b><p><em>Penn Badgley currently stars as Dan Humphrey in the hit TV show "Gossip Girl," and will next be seen on the big screen in the Sundance thriller "</em><a href="http://movies.nextmovie.com/margin-call-/M0-001-000017680-7" target="_blank"><em>Margin Call</em></a><em>."</em></center><p><i>Credit: Getty Images / United Artists</i>]]></media:description>

Ashton and Natalie were great in it, but Greta Gerwig really took that film to a whole new level of humor. She was just so funny in that! I really loved that comedy and I think that had a lot to do with her role in it.<p>"She was brilliant in '<a href="http://movies.nextmovie.com/greenberg-/M0-001-000000846-3">Greenberg</a>' too. That's another one of my favorite comedies of all time.<p>"I actually had a fitting with Greta yesterday at Chris Benz and while we were talking it just reminded me how great she is, so I think Greta's comedies are my favorites right now. They're kind of my obsession at the moment!"</b><p><i>Sophia Bush currently stars in "One Tree Hill" and will next be seen in the feature film "<a href="http://movies.nextmovie.com/chalet-girl-/M0-001-000020109-7">Chalet Girl</a>" with Ed Westwick.</center><p>Credit: Getty Images / Paramount</i>]]></media:description>

'<a href="http://movies.nextmovie.com/blazing-saddles-/M0-001-000000237-1" target="_blank">Blazing Saddles</a>' is one of his best. I love, love, love 'Blazing Saddles.'<p>"Gene Wilder can make you laugh and break your heart in an instant. I think he's one of the few people ever who have been able to rival Charlie Chaplin in that regard. And 'Blazing Saddles' really is hilarious.<p>"Gene Wilder and Cleavon Little are a perfect comedy team. I've watched it so many times and it always makes me laugh. When a movie touches you like that time and time again, it becomes a true classic."</b><p><em>Evan Rachel Wood is currently starring in the HBO mini-series "Mildred Pierce" and will next be seen on the big screen in "The Ides of March" with George Clooney and Ryan Gosling.</em></center><p><i>Credit: Getty Images / Warner Bros.</i>]]></media:description>

							<media:description type="plain"><![CDATA[<b><center>"I really love '<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097481/">Harlem Nights</a>.' It has Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Redd Foxx and even Arsenio Hall. It's legendary! Sugar Ray has got to be one of the greatest characters of all time, and then when you team him up with the rest of the cast? It's just, genius.<p>"I love that the premise sounds serious -- about gangsters and casinos and corrupt police in the '20s-- but then it just totally turns everything on its head and ends up being this hilarious movie. Plus, seeing Richard and Eddie dressed up in those suits with those mustaches -- it's pretty much worth watching just for that!<p>"I could watch it a hundred times and I still laugh every time. To me, that's what makes a comedy really great."</b><p><i>Selita Ebanks is a Victoria's Secret Angel who recently tried her luck on "The Apprentice."</center><p>Credit: Getty Images / Paramount</i>]]></media:description>

It's a classic one-liner comedy, brilliantly delivered by Chevy Chase. I mean, there's drugs, scandal and Chevy! What else could you want in a comedy?<p>"And, more recently, I also like '<a href="http://movies.nextmovie.com/old-school-/M0-001-000007750-6" target="_blank">Old School</a>.' That's a good one. I knew it was good about five minutes in, but then it just keeps getting better. I like it when Will Ferrell gets the tranquilizer dart in his neck. Oh my God, that is so funny. I rewound it so many times when I first saw that, I was literally crying I was laughing so hard."</b><p><em>Michael Fassbender currently stars in "<a href="http://movies.nextmovie.com/jane-eyre-/M0-001-000013206-1" target="_blank">Jane Eyre</a>" and will next appear in "<a href="http://movies.nextmovie.com/xmen-first-class-/M0-001-000018308-3/info" target="_blank">X-Men: First Class</a>," which hits theaters June 3.</center><p>Credit: Getty Images / Universal</em>]]></media:description>

It always makes me feel happy.<p>"It always comes on TV, so it's easy to find. It's one of the movies that comes on and you don't mean to actually watch it, but then you can't change the channel and then it's ninety minutes later and your sides hurt from laughing so much."</b><p><i>Reshma Shetty currently stars in "Royal Pains" and will be seen next in the film "Not for Nothing."</center><p>Credit: Getty Images / Paramount</i>]]></media:description>

It's the funniest.<p>"My favorite scene is when Paul Rudd is really annoyed, but he's trying to look cool still, but he's picking up trash so he can't really look that cool. I'm not doing the scene justice with my description, but it's amazing.<p>"The whole cast is hilarious.

I love the corny lines. I love Chevy Chase in that movie, though Dan Aykroyd is pretty good too.<p>"The whole concept of two poor guys who think they're spies but are actually decoys for a nuclear war is just sick and hilarious. A story like that takes someone like Chevy Chase to pull it off though. He really made it work. He's great in that movie.<p>"I also love '<a href="http://movies.eventful.com/history-of-the-world-part-i-/M0-001-000004356-3" target="_blank">History of the World: Part 1</a>' with Mel Brooks.

It's just fantastic.<p>"I'd never seen anything like 'Tootsie' before. It was sort of the first of its kind. It's so heartwarming and so funny as well and the setting in the soap world.

It's a Preston Sturges movie with Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck from the '40s.<p>"It's just really funny. I mean: A) Who knew Henry Fonda was that funny first off? and B) Barbara Stanwyck is probably one of the most talented comedic actresses of that century and this is one of her funniest performances. And besides those two, there are a million other reasons.<p>"Henry is this guy coming back from Amazon on a ship and, of course Barbara, a con artist, just latches right to him. And there's the standard parts where they fall in love and then they fight, but it's just so fresh the way they deliver the story. Even today it's fresh!

It's a classic.<p>"I love how serious Gene Wilder is in it — he's really that way in all his comedies — which is why I love Gene Wilder! But in 'Frankenstein' in particular, it's like life or death to him and that passion magnifies the humor. Dr. Frankenstein is a serious guy, so it's not every actor who could find the humor in that part. The fact that Wilder could get there, that's what makes the comedy as a whole shine for me.<p>"Sometimes one actor can carry a whole comedy. That's Gene Wilder in this one... It's always funny. That's a movie that will be funny forever."<p></b><em>Amy Ryan currently stars in the hit show "The Office" and can be seen in theaters in "</em><a href="http://movies.nextmovie.com/win-win-/M0-001-000017451-7/info" target="_blank"><em>Win Win</em></a><em>."</em></center><p><i>Credit: Getty Images / Fox</i>]]></media:description>

It's kind of an older one, but I love it.<p>"First and foremost, I just love the clothes! That era of fashion is so polished and sophisticated. Somehow it makes the comedy stand out that much more when everyone looks like they should be acting so sophisticated because of how they're dressed! But more importantly, it's a film that just has great humor. I mean, it's from the '30s and the humor still works today. The banter between the characters, the way they needle each other, we do it just the same way today! Some things never change!<p>"When a film can survive that many decades and still be funny, that's really something special. That's the mark of a truly great comedy. It's definitely one of my favorites.</b><p><i>Kelly Rutherford currently stars as the very sophisticated Lily van der Woodsen on the hit show "Gossip Girl."</center><p>Credit: Getty Images / Universal</i>]]></media:description>

Alan Arkin is very good. I mean, he plays a dentist! A dentist named Sheldon! Can you imagine anything funnier than that? Just the idea of it is funny. The way he and Peter Falk play off each other, it's just pure comedic genius. Their timing is, well, it's perfect.<p>"It's an old film now, but the humor holds up today.

<p>"My favorite comedy of all time? That's easy: '<a href="http://movies.nextmovie.com/being-there-/M0-001-000009424-8" target="_blank">Being There</a>.' It's not just a comedy. It's a deeply touching drama. It really crosses genres in an amazing way.</p>
<p>"When I first saw it, I was totally amazed. In that movie, Peter Sellers isn't just an actor, he is like... a savant. That role required someone with a special talent and he nailed it. And Shirley MacLaine? Also amazing!</p>
<p>"I just really, really love that movie."</p>
<p><em>Penn Badgley currently stars as Dan Humphrey in the hit TV show "Gossip Girl," and will next be seen on the big screen in the Sundance thriller "</em><a href="http://movies.nextmovie.com/margin-call-/M0-001-000017680-7" target="_blank"><em>Margin Call</em></a><em>."</em></p>
