My FAVORITE comedy! A lot of people don't like this movie and it's won awards for how terrible people say it is, but I liked it a lot. Random goofy humor makes me laugh!

Looking forward to the results....

[Foggy]

If this gets to the 12th of October and the OP doesn't pop up, someone give me a PM and I'll work out the results, but I'll give those results to someone who can post proper results on the forum (since I'm working from Uni and on an iPad)

[Bluray_ne1]

Too bad I missed the deadline.

I think I would have had just about every Farrelly Brothers movie in there.

Cheers.

I thought this thread had died. I am looking forward to the results, and I'm hoping it causes less frustration amongst members that the greatest films of all time thread did (which was an amazing effort by the way, some people just took it all wrong).

[Foggy]

Working on results now!

[djgeneral]

I always want to participate in these sorts of things, but I can never make lists. Not that I don't have time, but I always find it so hard to rank things fairly. How do you guys do it?! lol

[Slicker1]

1)The man who knew too little. Bill Murray's best.
2)Weekend at bernies. Terry Kiser was awesome funny.
3)The woopee boys. Paul Rodrigues best, and great funny cast.
4)The blues brothers. John Belushis best.
5)Coneheads. Dan Aykroyds best.
6)Bullworth. Warren Beatty comedy best.
7)Framed. Jeff Goldbloom comedy best.
8)Bringing up baby. Hepburn's best.
9)Blazing saddles. Mel Brooks best.
10)Running scared. Billy Crystals best.
11)My blue heaven & the jerk. Tie, both Steve Martins best films.
12)Multiplicity. Michael Keaton at his comedy best.
13)Up in smoke. Cheech & Chongs best.
14)A fish called wanda. Kevin Klines comedy best.
15)Ferris buller. Matt Brodericks best.
00)Ace ventura. Jim Carreys best.

[Foggy]

Got all the points together, I'll be tallying them up later.

[JavaJulien]

Damn, to late to update then. I finally saw Fargo this week and wanted to add it to my list.

[Foggy]

Results have been sent off, a member of the forum should start posting them soon

Happy to see that somebody else has "Waiting..." as part of their top comedy lists. That movie COMPLETELY caught me by surprise when I was just up late one night and saw it on TV, thankfully uncut as it was REALLY late, and I love it. For those who haven't seen it, it's basically a version of Office Space but set in the food service industry as opposed to the office worker industry. Just an overall great movie.

And while this list of mine is really not in any particular order, and too late for this poll, below are the 15 movies that I would say are my all-time favorite comedies.

Dumb & Dumber
Spaceballs
Half-Baked
Waiting...
What About Bob?
Scary Movie
Ntl. Lampoon's Vacation
Ntl. Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Office Space
Mallrats
Airheads
Baseketball
A Christmas Story
Clue
Howard Stern: Private Parts

[Lehnhart]
