I don't think Rosencrantz and Guildernstern are Dead gets enough love, to be honest. As it's described by wikipedia as "an absurdist, existential tragicomedy" I guess it was less likely to appear on...

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

I think the one film I'm most disappointed about not making it, besides the ones on my list, is In Bruges. I only watched it for the first time after submitting my list or I would have voted for it....

I think The Big Lebowski was somewhere on an early version of my list but in the end I decided I didn't remember it well enough to include it over some of my other picks. Obviously it did not need my...

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

Monty Python and the Holy Grail was my #8. I don't think anything has ever been funnier than this film, the first time I watched it. It's got a lot of rewatchable appeal, of course, but that first...

The Death of Stalin was too horrific to be funny for me, but it looks like it gathered a few votes. In the Loop was never as funny as The Thick of It... but there are definite shades of the same kind...

Hot Fuzz was not on my ballot but I'm not at all surprised to see it ahead of Shaun of the Dead. I appreciate lots about it, and it's funny in parts but I just don't enjoy it as much overall as a...

Finally some more British films and some more from my list :)

Monty Python's Life of Brian was my #7. Very silly, very funny with some smart points to make, many of which are still sharply...

What We Do In The Shadows was my #5.

Super happy to see it here on the list, especially so high. I rewatched it recently and it was such great fun, not too long and just such a funny and inventive...

My list remaining:

1. Withnail and I
2. Fingers crossed it'll make it
3. Surely it will
4. Never had a chance
5. Really thought it would, but running out of hope
6. Thought it might scrape...

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

Borat certainly did make me laugh, although I didn't feel it quite sustained the humour for the full runtime and I doubt it would hold up well on a second viewing. I've seen Dumb and Dumber eons ago...

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

Still only one film from my list has made it so far, and I only have reasonable faith for four of the others.

There are a lot that I haven't seen or don't remember well enough to comment. Mean...

Heathers was not on my list, but it was pretty close.

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

I did not like Napoleon Dynamite when I first watched it, although many of my friends thought it was brilliant. Then watched it again and found it very funny. I don't know what this says about me or...

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

Clueless is a good film, a fun updating of Emma. I didn't include it on my list, although I did consider a couple of versions of Emma. I really don't think successful comedy director Amy Heckerling...

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

Well that's my streak broken, I've never seen either of these. I like Steve Carrell in The Office, though, so I'll try to check out The 40 Year Old Virgin. I'm not sure the other one looks like...

"We've gone on holiday by mistake."

Withnail & I gets short shrift around here for some reason; perhaps it's just too British. I think it's a classic, always amusing and endlessly quotable....

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

I thought we'd be kicking off with something more obscure, but we're going straight in with the big hitters it seems. I've seen all six of the films revealed so far, which I really wasn't expecting...

High five!

I Love You Philip Morris was my #25

Jim Carrey is good in this as a persistent con man who pulls off a series of cons and prison escapes. This mostly made my list for one particular...
