My top three haven’t made the list and I don’t see them ranking in the top ten. All criminally underrated comedies
The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

Still sticking with my guesses of Unnamed Ballot Entry #2 and Ghostbusters for tomorrow.
Though if we get to the top 5, I'll need to switch from Ghostbusters to something more guaranteed to make it.

I guess we're trying to predict the remaining 12 again?
Holy Grail
Strangelove
Duck Soup
Young Frankenstein
Lebowski
Ghostbusters
Airplane
City Lights
Blazing Saddles
Hot Fuzz
Groundhog's Day
The Philadelphia Story
I think The General doesn't make it.
Will be more than happy to see Unnamed Ballot Entry #2 somehow work its way in there though.
Looking back at my predictions for the top 20, it looks like the only two to show up so far have been Life of Brian and The Princess Bride.
*pats self on the back for calling the latter*
My original predictions just kind of forgot about Annie Hall and Edgar Wright.
Maybe some real dark horses, but I guess we shouldn't be that surprised if Coming to America or A Christmas Story somehow end up in there as well (though the streak of Christmas movies seemed to end a while ago).

I watched This is Spinal Tap for this countdown because I've heard so much about how funny it is that I was sure that it would make the countdown. Unfortunately I didn't find it very funny, so I guess it's just another movie that's just not my type of humor.

I really love This Is Spinal Tap. I'd been to enough concerts in the 70s alone that I could totally relate to what they were doing in the movie, but in a comical way. I know the deadpan style of the movie has been talked about, and I love the deadpan humor. I love it that some people, when it was first released, didn't get it and thought it was real. That's how good this movie is.
Part of the best of the movie is the discussion of their music and their albums with titles like "Shark Sandwich" (which a critic called something much more horrible ), "Big Bottom," and one of my favorites, "Smell the Glove." It's just a hysterical movie and I love it and therefore I didn't vote for it.
My list:
#4.The In-Laws
#8.Stripes
#9.The Blues Brothers
#11.Arsenic and Old Lace
#13.Raising Arizona
#14.Animal House
#18.Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
#22.Caddyshack
