July 4, 200619 yr Ace Ventura in the top ten? To me great comedies are ones where more than one person is given the chance to be funny, not regulated to watching one person try to be funny.
July 4, 200619 yr 46. The Incredibles Uhhh, was this even a comedy? Not any more so than any other Pixar creation....
July 4, 200619 yr The Aristocrats is better than the 93rd best comedy of all time. No Network? Napoleon Dynamite shouldn't even be sniffing that list. Dr. Strangelove should be higher on the list. This list can kiss my lily white, White Sox loving, comedy fan ass for three reasons: NO CHAPLIN NO BUSTER KEATON NO MARX BROTHERS They did give some respect to the great Mel Brooks which is good. Animal House is good, but I don't think it was the #1 comedy of all time.

July 4, 200619 yr QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 11:55 PM) I still believe to this day that Anchorman was 10x funnier than Napoleon Dynomite. both sucked. as does this list...
July 4, 200619 yr Ace Ventura in the top ten? To me great comedies are ones where more than one person is given the chance to be funny, not regulated to watching one person try to be funny. like #76.... That should crack the #40
July 4, 200619 yr wow i expected a much better list than that...shrek at 3? wedding singer at 8? ARTHUR at 10!? this list just flat out sucks.
July 4, 200619 yr QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 10:30 PM) This list is terrible... Absolutely terrible. Annie Hall 28? Dr. Strangelove 53!? These are two of the best films ever period, let alone among comedies. Edited July 4, 200619 yr by BobDylan
July 4, 200619 yr QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jul 4, 2006 -> 01:09 AM) Nor was "Bananas" in there, or "Casino Royale." If it's any consolation: Bananas was 78.

But a Top 100 with no Fletch? Ridiculous!!!! QUOTE(bmags @ Jul 4, 2006 -> 10:53 AM) animal house isn't even that funny... dazed and confused shoulda been way higher. Animal House is damned funny! I think part of the reason it was #1 is that is was somewhat ground breaking as well. I'm also disappointed Hollywood Knights didn't land on the list. I thought some of the movies were ranked in precarious spots, but opinions vary so that doesn't bother me so much.
July 4, 200619 yr 36. Good Morning, Vietnam That ain't no comedy, man. It's a serious drama with a few laughs thrown in here and there. You're not gonna find it in the comedy section at Blockbuster. I counted about 50 movies on that list that I will never see. While I'm no movie expert, I did find the strangely absent "Super Troopers" to be hilarious, and "Major League" ain't listed despite the fact that it is a hell of a lot funnier than "Bull Durham" on the strength of Uecker alone. And as LCR stated, the Marx Brothers stuff will induce tears from laughter.
July 5, 200619 yr I wouldn't exactly consider American Graffiti to be a straight comedy. This list is pathetic.

I disagree, Bull Durham is a well rounded movie while Major League (though a favorite of mine) is, well, just a comedy.
July 5, 200619 yr Horrible list. (ZOOLANDER?!?!?! Dodgeball!?!?) Team America absolutely blows.....hard. Half Baked isn't funny either. Cheech and Chong's movies were better (and not listed either.) No "Major League," "Blazing Saddles," or I'm gonna git U sucka" = bulls***.
July 5, 200619 yr QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jul 4, 2006 -> 12:28 PM) That ain't no comedy, man. Looking at that list, I can already see 5-10 movies that don't fit into the "comedy" list.
