The MOFO Preliminary Discussion of the Top 100 Comedies

I'm finding it hard to believe if like 50 ballots are submitted that there won't be at least 100 with 2 votes.
Yes, but if those two votes only total five points....so what?

Would #100 really be that low? That's pretty doubtful. I'd bet at least 40 points. I guess we shall see.



I personally think this should be done as a Top 100, that's what we do at MoFo...I mean it's about the community and people want to see their favorites make the comedy list. It's not like this is being submitted to AFI.

Image if the Western countdown had only been a Top 50, then all of these great westerns would've been left off, which I think would've been sad as that was a fun countdown.

Don't Be A Menace to South Central while Drinking your juice in the hood is one vote I didn't cast and wish I could have back.



This is very difficult. Some films I've laughed hard at, are films that I probably shouldn't be laughing at.
Wait until we get this list started, we'll get movies that we thought were funny and the ones that weren't some will crucify the movie because it's not a comedy movie lol

I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
I'm finding it hard to compile a list for this one. It's not just deciding how good a film is, it's also deciding how much it is a comedy.

My preliminary list is sadly lacking in foreign comedies so recommendations welcome.

I'm having the same problem, so as I watch movies, I've been keeping two separate lists. One list is movies that are listed as comedies and that I liked enough that they could make my list of favorite movies, and the other is movies that are the funniest that I've watched.

I'm hoping to somehow merge these two lists when I narrow it down to my top 25.

'Come and See' (1985) is a comedy right?



It's hard for me to find movies that actually make me laugh out loud, maybe a chuckle here and there. So I think, I'll go with movies that seemed mentally funny aka witty or irrelevant...stuff like that.
