Comedy Preliminary Poll!! Vote "7" Films Only!! - Blu-ray Forum

CZAR · 02-01-2010, 07:55 PM

Ok here is the Comedy preliminary poll! Choose the top 7 movies as only 7 will advance. I am gonna have this poll opened for a few days and I will continue to make all of the polls over the next few days so the voting can take place. Remember vote for the 7 u want to see make the tourney. Base it on how u feel. Remember its not best or fav poll, its overall and all up to u! Also remember only actual votes will count so dont just list your picks without voting or your votes wont count!

Also remember that its hard to list every movie in the genre as it would be to long so I am listing based on website hype or recent polls that Ive seen. Remember only top "7" advance anyway so if a movie u recognize isnt on the list then just pick the 7 from what is listed. There are a lot of categories and certain movies can fall under a diff category. Have fun guys! Let keep it goin......Got Em!!

Czar you had better have some great ones like Some Like It Hot on here!

master_8ball · 02-01-2010, 08:06 PM

Hey Czar, I am not one to complain... but these last few sets have me confused...

Why mix the genres?

How can you have:
Star Wars A New Hope in the same poll as Shrek?
Pee Wee's Big Adventure in the same poll as Indian Jones?
Casablanca with Hitch or True Romance?
Blazing Saddles with Blood Diamond?

These last few polls have reminded me of that old song on Sesame Street... one of these things just doesn't belong.

Foggy · 02-01-2010, 08:08 PM

I've just voted, very hard choice. Had to go though what I voted for.

I'm guessing with no offense to Czar it's probably because he hasn't seen half the movies and is going by internet research.

Blazing Saddles and Pee Wee's Big Adventure should both be in this poll.

Rob71 · 02-01-2010, 08:22 PM

Airplane
Animal House
Caddyshack
The Naked Gun
P.C.U.
Spaceballs
Trading Places

Bluray_ne1 · 02-01-2010, 08:29 PM

Pretty good list.

I would have added "There's Something About Mary", "National Lampoon's Vacation", "The Jerk" and "Groundhog Day" too.

jhiggy23 · 02-01-2010, 08:30 PM

No National Lampoon's Vacation, one of the major comedy classics, along with Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and My Cousin Vinny being omitted was too much for me.

I do like seeing A League of their Own on there. An excellent film that makes me laugh everytime. Can't vote though.

that's my all-time favorite "sports" movie! And my all time favorite "baseball"
movie if there were polls on those genres

vegeta88 · 02-01-2010, 11:14 PM

Lots of good films there.

Aiplane
The Big Lebowski
Caddyshack
Dumb and Dumber
The Naked Gun
Tommy Boy
Young Frankenstein

Some of the best comedies there. It's funny, Caddyshack is hilarious but the film, as in the actual storyline, sucks. All the side characters make the film a classic. Naked Gun I voted for as a series. One of my favorites is not there, The Jerk but maybe it isn't as popular as I thought.

Diesel · 02-01-2010, 11:15 PM

I guess I'm not a big comedy fan (or at least not of most of those movies).

I only see 3-5 on the list I even like.

Guess I don't get to vote in this one if we can only pick 7.

Dexter Morgan · 02-01-2010, 11:46 PM

This goes to show you how subjective comedies are. There are currently 9 movies within 3 votes of first place.

Gideon · 02-02-2010, 12:08 AM

Voted for 6 of them. "The Jerk" would be my seventh.

Duffy12 · 02-02-2010, 12:14 AM

Thanks for including 'Bringing Up Baby' CZAR.

I am pleasantly surprised.

Al_The_Strange · 02-02-2010, 02:25 PM

What?!! No "Airplane II?!" No "Austin Powers" sequels?! No "Life of Brian?!!"

Ah well, what you got on here is a decent selection anway

. My picks are:

"Airplane!"
"Animal House"
"Dumb and Dumber"
"40 Year Old Virgin"
"Hot Fuzz"
"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (personal favorite comedy!)
"Spaceballs"

DBLN8 · 02-02-2010, 04:00 PM

No Blazing Saddles?
