Here is roughly my top 10, this is a very difficult list to make. If you don't want to make a top ten then make a top five.

1. Caddyshack
2. The Big Lebowski
3. Animal House
4. The Royal Tenenbaums
5. Plains, Trains, and Automobiles
6. There Something About Mary
7. Billy Madison
8. Meet the Parents
9. Best in Show
10. Office Space



Honorable Mention: Kingpin, Dumb and Dumber, Happy Gilmore, Vacation, Christmas Vacation, Austin Powers, Old School, Anchorman, Groundhog Day, What About Bob, Election, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Trading Places, American Pie, Wedding Singer, Airplane, Stir Crazy






That is an impossible list to make, if you try I bet by the end of it you will have made a couple of adjustments. I'm sure I forgot something, but I doubt that I forgot anything that I personally would have in top 10. Before I hear about forgetting Monty Python or Blazing Saddles, I didn't forget, I'm just not that big of a fan.

That movie is obnoxious to me. I thought it was funny when I was 14, but it has done nothing but get less funny every year I've been alive since. Cable Guy, Me, Myself and Irene, and Dumb and Dumber are Carrey's best comedys, IMO.



Speaking of Cable Guy, that defenitely belongs on my Honorable Mention list.

Seen it, that is probably the darkest comedy I've ever seen. I have an account with Blockbuster online and they just mailed that one out to me a couple of days ago, haven't seen it in years. Very good dark comedy, and very dark at that. I never thought that it was possible to laugh about pedophilia, unless it had to do with Michael Jackson of course.

Ridiculous.

I need to watch Old School again. I am not sure if it's the same class as Dumb and Dumber. But I will rewatch it to make sure.

I still laugh at Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and I have seen that movie about 50 times, literally. It's a classic from beginning to end. Steve Martin going off on Mrs. Poole at the car rental counter still cracks me up. Of course the hand between two pillow scene is funny as hell. And how about them driving to Chicago in the burned up rental car?

The movie I can't get enough of lately is Elf. That movie is an instant classic, imo. Buddy calling that children author an angry elf has me rolling everytime.

I think all the Matt Stone-Tre Parker movies (Team America, South Park Movie, Baseketball, Orgazmo, and Cannibal the Musical) are very underrated as a comedic series. The Austin Powers movies are extremely overrated. I found nothing in any Austin Powers movie funny. Absolutely nothing.

Boomerang is also underrated. Yes it is very chick flickish, but the excessive use of the word pussy evens it out.

In no particular order, just what comes to mind as I type, some are just parts of certain movies that I thought where classic.


1. Eurotrip (mainly for the robot fight sceen)

2. Army of Darkness (Bruce Campbell is the one-liner master)

3. McHales Navy (Bruce Campbell, again)

4. The Legend of the Drunken Master (Not only does Jackie Chan show off some of the best fight sceens ever in his career, but he is hillarious when he's "drunk")

5. Space Balls

6. Porky's

7. Kung Fu Hustle (pretty damn good choreography for a comedy)

8. Dazed and Confused

9. Animal House (Germany bombed Pearl Harbor!!)

10. the Lady Killers

11. Blues Brothers

12. Orange County

13. Stand By Me (not really a comedy but the part where he tells the story about the fat kid making everyone puke was pretty damn funny)

14. Super Troopers (only the first 15 min. though when they are pulling those kids over)

15. O Brother Where Art Thou (cows??? I HATE COWS!!!!!)

Watch it again, maybe you weren't in a good mood the first time you watched it. The first time I watched it, I only lauged a couple of times, but if I watch that movie now I laugh the whole way through. Seriously, if you like Life Aquatic, you should love Tenenbaums. It is by far Wes Anderson's best movie. Give it another chance Spicoli, I think you'll like it.
