The MOFO Preliminary Discussion of the Top 100 Comedies

57 movies have three or more ballots.

Can't I didn't warn y'all. I suggest large investments into pesticides and magnets sooner than later.

Submitted a list, don't wanna miss out on another one!

Credit to Diehl for taking this on and good luck, and amazing job by Yoda to give us that ballot creator and automated list PM, makes life so much easier.

Excited to see the variety of films here, definitely one of the most eclectic lists I've ever compiled and I'm guessing most people will be in the same boat.

31 ballots, just shy of 400 total films.

This is shaping up pretty well. Keep sending those lists in!

I included a few comedy/dramas and a couple of comedy/romances (not quite rom-coms, but they have romantic elements), so hopefully those are acceptable too.

Yup, the criteria and how to balance those kinds of things are up to each individual.

I haven't been checking this thread, or actually the forum, a whole lot lately... but I'm gonna try to assemble this now. Daunting task, especially when crossing genre lines, which I'm sure has been the issue with most people. Generally speaking, I'm gonna try to stick to what I consider more "pure comedies", instead of romcoms or comedy dramas. Personally, I also won't include animated films, and probably no musicals either, just to make it easier for me to come up with a coherent list. I'm up to 60-something now, but I'm gonna try to trim it down.

Yeah, I've got a rough outline in my head but need to pare it down still.

I'm mostly just going with the things I found funniest, with "funniest" meaning some mix of laughter and long-term admiration. Not as much with the "best overall films that can be reasonably described as comedies" thing, even though I understand why someone would want to go that way. But I won't really be giving films any (or, more realistically, many) points for being good in non-comedic ways.

All i can reply is to note that the sky is blue, and all the leaves are green. The sun, well, she's warm like a baked pa-tay-tah!

Oh, i shiver in antici-pation to see what makes the count.

The idea that someone can't get 25 films on a ballot seems especially absurd as I sit here agonizing over a list of like 68 flicks, trying to get it down to 25, only to be reminded of 30 more that could possibly make my list as I catch up on this thread...
