I imagine the answer will be yes. It'll take a few days, though. Maybe a week or two.

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

Dr. Strangelove was an honorable mention. Although uneven (which is a complaint I have with the majority of Kubrick films), its comic high points are fine enough that I included it on the list that...

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

Airplane was my 4. Sure, you could look at it as a film whose jokes get thrown out in rapid fire fashion. But unlike most modern spoof films that seem to hang the film around the jokes, Airplane...

Young Frankenstein was my number 6. Mel Brooks at his finest in a film dealing with the Frankenstein legend, but done with enough verve and nerve that it circles around Dracula: Dead and Loving It...

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

Like others, I'd thought we'd be seeing Monty in the top 3 at least. I did have that one at #5 by the way.

Holy Grail is the equivalent of a Bugs Bunny/Animaniacs cartoon for 90 minutes. There's...

Ghostbusters had some good laughs. The third act doesn't quite do it for me, though. No vote.

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

Liked Groundhog Day well enough. Didn't make my list.

You know, I wish we had another workplace comedy or two that made the list. Kind of a shame really that it didn't.

I kind of lean towards Breakfast Club, The Royal Tenenbaums and City Lights being the ones to miss.

I think The General and The Big Lebowski are 50/50. To make room for another surprise, perhaps...

I liked Being John Malkovich. Not enough to make the list, but it's worth it for the scene where John realizes everyone looks just like him.

I haven't heard of Playtime, let alone seen it.

I've heard of Brazil, but I haven't seen it.

I should see both of them at some point.
