goose Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) This thread is inspired by KJ's comments in the Top Ten IYO thread. I tend to focus on drama when asked about the greatest films off all time. But I live Comedies, too. So what are your top ten comedies of all time?

Nova Carmina Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Will there be more repetition among great comedies than among great dramas? There's lots of overlap in these lists (and will be in mine, too!); maybe a sense of humor is what makes a Rush fan? Airplane!CaddyshackMajor LeagueThe RutlesA Fish Called WandaMonty Python/Holy GrailThe Life of BrianBlazing SaddlesYoung Frankenstein with Blues Brothers/Animal House/Dr. Strangelove rotating in and out of the top ten 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

condemned2bfree Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Nuts in May This looks like something I'd enjoy! https://en.wikipedia...iki/Nuts_in_May It's a great study in characters, understandably not to everyone's taste. A slow burner. The character 'Finger' is Ozzy Osbourne's brother I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
