Good stuff folks, and thanks to Diehl for hosting and Yoda working his behind the scenes magic. I assume they collaborated like two kids in a trenchcoat standing on top of each other to sneak into an...

I'm at 6/10 or so on this movie, but I would agree that it's a lot better than its awful initial reception would suggest. Eddie and his comedy heroes in period costuming? Plenty to enjoy there.

I think the uglier elements in Revenge of the Nerds stick out more because the movie is otherwise much warmer and more genial than the average '80s fratboy sex comedy. It has a real affection for a...

I don't consider Ghostbusters to be riotously funny, but I think a lot of its impact comes from the way the irreverent interplay between the leads undercuts the grandeur of the proceedings. It's a...

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

I voted for Bringing Up Baby. If you don't find Mr. Bone the big game hunter funny, I can't help you.


I also voted for The Jerk. If you don't find Navin R. Johnson, sounds like a typical bastard...

I watched Dirty Rotten Scoundrels a lot as a kid (we had it on VHS), but am genuinely surprised to see it appear on this list. Not a movie I thought had much of a following.

I enjoy Spaceballs, but there are multiple Brooks movies I'd rank above it. I hope some of them appear higher in the countdown, but one of them has not.


Tropic Thunder is pretty hit or miss,...

After y'all did The Producers dirty I was worried The In-Laws wouldn't make it, so glad to be proven wrong. Peter Falk gives one of the funniest performances I've seen in a movie.

Snatch is one of Guy Ritchie's better movies but I haven't seen it in years. Have not seen Best in Show.

I loved MASH when I saw it but it's been years and I didn't feel comfortable voting for it.


I'm not crazy about Dazed and Confused, but Link later has tended to leave me cold.

Step Brothers is one of two movies where I think Will Ferrell is actually well used, mostly because it casts him as an obnoxious, unlikable ******* and dunks on the idea we would ever root for him....

I think a lot of the humour of The Producers comes from its total commitment to depicting these two loser characters in all their pathetic glory. It might not have as many laughs per minute as, say,...

When I watched a bunch of Chaplins last year, The Kid was the only one that left me cold. I guess Chaplin found the kid shuffling around in baggy pants a lot funnier and more endearing than I did.
