knightni Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Here's what I'd like to do: I'd like to do a top 20 list of the funniest movies in the last 50 years. PM me a list of your 20 favorite/funniest comedy movies since 1958 numbered 1-20 and I'll do a compilation. Ideally, I'd like at minimum 20 lists if possible. Deadline will be April 21, the next Sox day off. Hope this works out as well as I think that it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Dr. Strangelove Blazing Saddles Airplane Serial Animal House RV It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World The Graduate Annie Hall I'll think of a few more. I assume no comedy DVD, concert appearances, etc. are permitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Why only the past 50 years? Is it because we know nothing touches the brilliance of the Marx Bros.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I sent knight my list I told him that Duck Soup and Night at the Opera were only excluded because of the 1958 cutoff. :cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marx brothers were a staple of my childhood! Unfortunately, none of my students laugh when I make any jokes from there. Uncultured buffoons! Sanity Clause?

WHEW! More something I just tossed out there to see if you'd catch it, after seeing you seconding w3hat I had PM'd knight about having to exclude Marx Brother films. Though for some reason you never seem to get picked on as one of the old guys, and that's starting to torque me off a bit.

Flash Tizzle Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Just my opinion, but I think you should limit it down to Top 10. It's difficult, for me atleast, to think about my Top 20 comedies without doing research and actually putting effort into it. Sure, the lists will be more extensive; but far fewer will casually browse this thread and add their input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
