ST Poll: Your Top 5 all time film comedies

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Sep 7 '12, 07:52

I heard an awful list this morning on the radio, and need to erase it from my memory.

Responses:

Their list is supposedly based on laughs per minute. -- nm - LMS Sep 7, 08:24 2
- Yeah, I should have said that. Kinda silly though. *Every* comedies goal is to keep you laughing the whole time. -- nm - Inigo Sep 7, 08:28 1
  - Not really. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 08:31
Airplane, Meaning of Life, Young Frankenstein, Porky's, Something About Mary -- nm - ceregon Sep 7, 08:22
Airplane, There's Something About Mary, Naked Gun, Anchorman, Spinal Tap - Inigo Sep 7, 08:22
Not sure of my entire list but the one I do not see listed here yet that is in my top five is Harvey. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 08:21 2
- (the movie my cat is named after. as he was invisible for weeks when we got him, plus, he looks like a Harvey) -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 08:22 1
  - I just love that movie. In my top 10 faves. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 08:23
High Fidelity, Shaun of the Dead, Groundhog Day, The Hangover, A Christmas Story -- nm - Don Homer Sep 7, 08:20 2
- aw crap. A Christmas Story would be my #1. - Kim Pine Sep 7, 08:23 1
  - I know! This is one I can't believe I left off my list. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 08:27
Groundhog Day, National Lampoon's Vacation, The Philadelphia Story, Office Space, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. -- nm - kelly Sep 7, 08:18
the Goldwyn Follies -- nm - peglegpete Sep 7, 08:15
i can't believe no-one said Zoolander, i love that movie. -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 08:14 2
- I did! -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 7, 08:18 1
  - *high five* -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 08:20
This is the hardest list in the world to make.I can come up with a long list of 16 and it's really tough to cut from there... - Kim Pine Sep 7, 08:14 7
- Gun to my head, I guess I'd pick Ghostbusters, Anchorman, Better Off Dead, Tenenbaums, and A Fish Called Wanda. - Kim Pine Sep 7, 08:22 5
  - "KKKKKKKKen. Come to kkkkkkkkkill me?" That one is just outside the top 5 for me. -- nm - Inigo Sep 7, 08:24 1
    - i just watched this again a few weeks ago. it's still wonderful. -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 08:29
  - switch! A Christmas Story, Ghostbusters, Anchorman, Better Off Dead, Tenenbaums. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 7, 08:23 2
    - If I endorse one of these, are you gonna mark that one off the list too? *narrows eyes* -- nm - Inigo Sep 7, 08:26 1
      - Heh heh. Noooooo. Of course not. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 7, 08:27
- It kills me to leave off Grail and Princess Bride but they are 6 and 7 for me. -- nm - spamlet Sep 7, 08:16
Wedding Crashers, Something about Mary, Ground hog Day, Hangover -- nm - Epiphany Sep 7, 08:13
Hard to choose - Blazing Saddles, National Lampoon's Vacation, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Holy Grail and Spaceballs. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 08:09 2
- I had you pegged for a Cheech and Chong movie. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:09 1
  - Meh. Up In Smoke was funny but not in my top 20. Half Baked would probably be my favorite stoner comedy. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 08:13
Off the top of my head, probably Caddyshack, Three Amigos, Galaxy Quest, Super Troopers, Dodgeball, Office Space, Anchorman - Banzai! Sep 7, 08:04 5
- Crap...Vacation, Clerks, Josie and the Pussycats, About a Boy, 40 Year Old Virgin. This is tough! {nm} - Banzai! Sep 7, 08:05 4
  - Josie and the Pussycats????? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:06 3
    - I know, right? But it is a smart, funny, snarky movie inside a bubble gum pop wrapper. {nm} - Banzai! Sep 7, 08:07 2
      - I enjoyed it, but I would not put it in my top 20 comedies, for sure. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:08 1
        
        I think part of my love for it is how mainstream it is not. It never makes any lists, so I give it extra credit. I'm weird. :) {nm} - Banzai! Sep 7, 08:13
Their list: 1) Airplane 2) The Hangover 3) The Naked Gun 4) Superbad 5) Borat -- nm - Inigo Sep 7, 08:02 6
- I could see a real case for 1-3....it's #4 where things go wrong. - Will Hunting Sep 7, 08:05
- The first 3 I can agree with. Superbad was OK not great and I never saw Borat -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 08:04 3
  - I loved 1 and 3. The rest are just recency effect, imo. -- nm - Inigo Sep 7, 08:09
  - I tried to watch Borat once. Made it through about 20 minutes. {nm} - Banzai! Sep 7, 08:06
  - you have to see Borat. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:05
- honestly, I do not think that is horrible, all things considered. - groiny Sep 7, 08:02
Spinal Tap, Groundhog Day, Fletch, Anchorman, Wedding Crashers -- nm - volnelk Sep 7, 08:00 8
- With a lifetime achievement award for times watched and enjoyed to Princess Bride. -- nm - volnelk Sep 7, 08:02
- Oooh...take Holy grail off my list and put Fletch on. -- nm - Jim Sep 7, 08:01 6
  - Fletch over Holy Grail? What are you smoking there Jimmy Bob Jimmy? -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 08:05 4
    - I take points away from Holy Grail for the cop out ending. Fletch was hilarious from start to finish. -- nm - Jim Sep 7, 08:10 2
      - Oh, but Blazing Saddles doesn't have a copout ending? -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 08:11 1
        
        yeah, the worst part of the movie by far. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:15
    - I am not a big fan of Monty Python. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:06
  - It's all about ball bearings. -- nm - volnelk Sep 7, 08:02
Blazing Saddles, Airplane, Major League, Strangelove, Clerks - spamlet Sep 7, 07:59 1
- Clerks is a good call. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 08:01
Caddy Shack, Animal House, Vacation, Spinal Tap, Groundhog Day -- nm - CQ Sep 7, 07:59
Animal House, Dumb and Dumber, 40 Year Old Virgin, Anchorman and the South Park movie are a good start -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 07:56

    - or just kick himself just because. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 07:58
