Re: The Movie Forum's Top 100 Comedies Countdown
Could be a good sign that The Titfield Thunderbolt didn't make the one-pointers list, now it might just need 30-40 people to have each placed it last on their ballot for it to make the list proper - and with a mere 42 one-pointers from 89 total ballots that's certainly still perfectly possible :)
Toot - toot! |
Phantom of Liberty was mine.
I don't do any of this strategical stuff. That's just where it landed. For some reason the denying the audience an ending tickled me more-so than all the denied attempts to eat in The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie, and the the "spew shit in public, only consume (food) in private," feels like such an accurate metaphor for how exchange of ideas for me that will always be cemented into my head as a film that exists. Now excuse me, I need to go wipe my mouth. |

My 1-pointer. Completely neglected skewering of beauty pageants by mostly neglected director Michael Ritchie. |
Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown
The movies that I have seen that are other people's one pointers
Paul - If it's the alien movie with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the movie was alright Club Dread - Not a bad movie Meet the Fockers - A decent sequel to Meet the Parents Free Guy - Loved this movie it felt like I was watching GTA online lol Weekend at Bernie's - This movie was alright, I have not rewatched this movie in ages Scary Movie 4 - Better than the 5th movie imo None of these movies are not on my list either |

I’ve seen only 10 of the 1 pointers.

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown
Tickled is my one pointer; a somewhat disturbing documentary that I found hilarious.

Would you say it tied you down and tickled your funny bone? Because I don't believe you. Let me film you watching it. /Only vaguely aware of the premise |
Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown
I am surprised my one pointer didn't show. Good taste to whoever else voted for it.
But Monday until the official beginning reveal!?!? I have a feeling this will go into next year. The next countdown might be over before this. |
Let's see, the ones I've seen... also a count of 10.
Meaning to watch Red Rocket at some point this year.
The Phantom of Liberty
The Toy Rejected Pink Flamingos I love You Phillip Morris Ruthless People Weekend at Bernie's Knick Knack Seven Samurai Austin Powers in Goldmember Stroszek |
Seen a bunch of the 1 pointers with my favorites being Ruthless People, Overboard, Stroszek, and Seven Samurai, but I wouldn't consider the latter to be a comedy. I really want to see Short Cuts.

High five to whoever had I Love You Phillip Morris. My last place is a film I think will actually make the countdown, so we'll see. Looking forward to the reveals on Monday! |
I'm taking which one pointer was mine to the grave.

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown
Maybe it says something about why I didn't submit a ballot, that I've only seen three of the one-pointers (and one of them isn't even comedy, in my opinion). At least none of the other names ring any bells (I know a couple more, but I'm pretty sure I haven't seen them).
Pink Flamingos Seven Samurai Austin Powers in Goldmember |
One Pointers:
The Phantom of Liberty Something's Gotta Give Red Rocket Paul Tickled Club Dread Freaked Night of Something Strange The Fate of the Furious Knick Knack The Toy Mother, Jugs and Speed A Day at the Races American Babylon La guagua aerea Meet the Fockers Megamind Rejected Pink Flamingos I love You Phillip Morris Short Cuts Le Grand Amour The Imposters The Grass is Greener Teen Beach Movie Ruthless People Living in Oblivion Smile Beat the Devil Artists and Models Overboard 1987 Free Guy Boeing, Boeing Weekend at Bernie's The Whole Nine Yards Heavy Trip Scary Movie 4 Seven Samurai Austin Powers in Goldmember Brewster McCloud Dolemite Stroszek Yup, one of those was my 1 pointer...and it wasn't Beat the Devil, A Day at the Races or Artists and Models. Though I do watch a LOT of old moives...any guesses as to which is mine? |

Pink Flamingos Seven Samurai Austin Powers in Goldmember Rejected is the Don Hertzfeldt short, I'm pretty sure it's the one with, "my anus is bleeding," though maybe I'm mixing it up with another Hertzfeldt short in the bitter films collection. Strozceck is a Werner Herzog movie that I wouldn't think of as being a comedy, but also a movie that isn't inconceivable someone else might view it through the lens of being a comedy. There is a dancing chicken. |
