Spam my Comedy Countdown ballot!
 
We have about two months until the Comedy Countdown deadline is up June 2nd. It's looking like a movie is going to have to be on several ballots to even make the countdown so...

...my ballot is wide open at this point. Give me some of your favorite comedy recommendations that I might actual watch and if I love them they'll make my ballot and hopefully garner enough total votes to make the countdown!

To get an idea of what type of comedies I like take a look at my comedy list here

Ah I forgot all about Waynes World, that's a good one! I don't log my movies so even if I've seen it, it's still helpful to be reminded:p I haven't seen BASEKETball thanks.

It won't let me click on your comedy list. It says I don't have permission.

I think I've seen Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, but not sure, I'll have to ask the wife, at any rate Steve Martin is tops with me. Not seen the other two, thanks!

You linked to the page you manage the list from. Scroll to the bottom of that and you'll find a box with a URL for you to copy/paste to share it with others (or you can click on View List and then copy the URL of the page that takes you to, same thing).

No because I have a huge dislike of America comedies and I haven't watched many foreign ones. Just Danish ones of ATJ which stars MM

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is probably a lock for my ballot. My Cousin Vinny must be good because I hear it mentioned from time to time. I did see Crocodile Dundee and really liked it, it's also an interesting look back into mid 80s culture and mindset.

I'm betting Arsenic & Old Lace will make the countdown, I have other Cary Grant films I like better but it's a classic. The Out-of-Towners looks fun at least the 1970s original does.

I forgot about Captain Fantastic, that was an HoF nom and I enjoyed it. I have yet to see Rushmore but hear good things about it. Some of the others I haven't heard of, you're very well watched.

Yeah I forgot about Repo Man, that's a good one, I haven't heard of the others.

Yikes, didn't know there were others. I was referring you to the Neil Simon/Jack Lemmon film (1970)
