Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

Dr. Strangelove made my list. It’s an excellent film but more satirical and clever than outright hilarious. But probably my favorite Kubrick.

Damn 40 points separated these two! It wasn’t even...

Everyone loves to point out that Venkman brought a knockout drug to a date but forget that he tortures an innocent person to impress a woman in his first scene. :D

Ghostbusters was my #1. It was tough choosing between this and BttF because they’re both as close to perfect as movies can get. I ultimately decided BttF was a slightly better movie overall but...

No movie was on and off my list so many times as Blazing Saddles. It ultimately didn’t make the cut for me but clearly didn’t need my help making the top ten. The whole third act in the studio back...

Here comes the fuzz! Hot Fuzz was on my list, but not as high as Shaun of the Dead. I admire that Nicholas Angel, the hero cop of the movie, doesn’t kill anyone. He shoots to wound and drags everyone...

Yeah I’m aware but Guest did write and star in it so I still lump it in with his others.

Edit: It’s kinda the same thing with Holy Grail for me. I don’t think of it as a Gilliam movie despite him...

Spinal Tap was my one-pointer. I don’t usually like Christopher Guest movies but this is the exception. It perfectly encapsulates the pretension yet incoherence of musicians and rock docs in general....

WOW Naked Gun is high. It’s a silly, hilarious movie, I haven’t seen it in so long though.

I don’t really like The Blue Brothers. I don’t get it. Not my generation I guess.

I’ve only seen pieces of Life of Brian.

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

Caddyshack is very funny, mostly due to Murray, Dangerfield and Knight. If you’re looking for a cohesive film this isn’t it.
