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.

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.

Lacit170 · 02-01-2010, 08:25 PM

i went with:

Ace Ventura
Spaceballs
Superbad
Grandmas Boy
Tommy Boy
Caddyshack
Dumb & Dumber

Well when I came out the theatre after watching I remember having that HUGE grin on my face, and I was just thinking of all the funny stuff in it, I just couldn't stop laughing though it. I still liked it the second time, I just didn't think it was as funny as I remembered it was. I think when your with an audience, that's when comedy compels.

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.

Blazing saddles is in the western poll
and
Pee Wee I thinks in the adventure one

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.

CZAR · 02-01-2010, 08:32 PM

Yea guys remember I cant get every single film. Just make due with whats there as Im sure u can get a top 7! We have 9 categories and Im sure the field of 65 will fill out nicely. The biggest category has yet to be done........Drama/War!! Stay tuned! Got Em!!

Bluyoda · 02-01-2010, 08:32 PM

Czar!!! Are you kidding?

No Monty Python's Life of Brian??????

That's got to be the best comedy ever, and it's not included here!

Not even MP's Meaning of Life????

The Holy Grail is the worst of them IMO.

How about all the other Jim Carrey flicks???

Where is Zoolander!!!?????

Ben Stiller's funniest movie?

Where is Housesitter???

Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn!!!!

:conf used:

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

assydingo · 02-01-2010, 08:37 PM

I would have voted for Hot Rod if it was on there. Other wise it seemed like an okay list considering there are so many comedies and you can't list all of them.

That is an odd film to put in a single genre, I wouldn't really be sure where it would go.

Bluyoda · 02-01-2010, 08:43 PM

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Never laughed so hard!)

Dumb & Dumber (Classic!)

Liar, Liar (It's nowhere near my favorite comedy, but the others aren't there. I can't stand the score.)

The Mask (Off the hook!)

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Young Frankenstein

Old School (This is one of my guilty pleasures! I love Will and Vince in it!)

Grand Bob · 02-01-2010, 08:43 PM

Had to go with:

Airplane
Animal House
Caddyshack
Cheech and Chong Up in Smoke
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Naked Gun
Young Frankenstein

In addition to some mentioned in other posts, would like to have seen Top Secret in the poll.

My favorite Python has always been Holy Grail, I was pleasently surprised to see it make the list.

SillyMammo · 02-01-2010, 09:02 PM

Life of Brian
Something about Mary
Supertroopers

are missing, but a good list nevertheless.
