Anyone up for a smile?

If you know me, I laugh at almost everything. Even if it is not funny, somehow I just start laughing and sometimes I can't even stop; it is like a daily routine. If you went a day without laughing, something horribly terrible had to have happened because to me that is just impossible. I guess I haven't had anything too traumatizing happen to me, but even so I would bet on my life that I still would end up laughing at something for some reason. Laughing enlightens your soul, brings the real you out; it is even a fact that that laughing is one of the healthiest things you could do for yourself. Point made, one of the biggest ways to get a little giggle is by sitting down, relaxing, and watching a comedy.
I couldn't name or count the number of the comedies that I have seen. It varies from the cheesy, unrealistic ones to the classics. To me, they all just make me want to smile and love life. Even the movies that have no point at all and make some people question why they were even made are the funniest ones that I have ever seen. For example, Napoleon Dynamite.
I remember going to the theaters with my friends, and seeing that movie. At first I had the same impression that everyone else going to see it probably had; this is the stupidest most pointless movie ever. That movie was probably one of the first movies I had ever watched that actually made me laugh more than I ever had before. Today it is old news, but I remember it being such a huge deal to so many people. Tons of quotes were made famous from it, and today I still see those t-shirts with the famous "vote for pedro" saying. I wouldn't say that movie is my all time favorite, but it sort of symbolizes the beginnings of my comedy years. And as we all know, an extra funny movie involves some extra funny actors/actresses.
Those of great skill, from Will Ferrel to Angie Ostrowiski, make you laugh till you cry. The movies without them just are't the same. If I had to pick one of my favorites, it would have to be Jim Carrey. Ever since I saw Liar, Liar, he has had me hooked. There are a lot of people who think he tries too hard, or is just straight up not funny, but I would have to differ. The way he carries things out to the extreme and makes a total lunatic out of himself just makes him so much more funnier. Along with that, he stars in one of my favorite comedy movies, Ace Ventura. Not only is he a crazy character, but he reminds me so much of my dad; if you knew him, you would know what I mean. But no matter which movie you pick ot which character you like the most, anything that is funny is the best choice. I mean c'mon, who doesn't like to smile?
