Gimme Seven

on

I have two things working against me today -- It's Friday and a lot of people are turning their attention to Hurricane Rita so I will keep things short and sweet. So gimme me your top 7 comedies. You can do more or less but just give me a list of movies that make you laugh.
I'll go first.
  1. "Animal House"
  2. "Caddyshack"
  3. "Old School"
  4. "The Big Lebowski"
  5. "O Brother Where Art Thou"
  6. "Wedding Crashers"
  7. "Sorority Boys"

I know that #7 might be a head scratcher for some of you but that movie just cracks me up.

P.S. I just found this on collegehumor.com and it is Jon Stewart's skit from the Emmys. Very funny stuff.

    Caddyshack
    Local Hero
    Young Frankenstein (must be watched with a crowd, on your own, somehow...meh)
    The Full Monty
    The Snapper

    I seriously forget about Slapshot, and it is a classic. I will have to look up a couple of those because I am not familiar with them, Withnail & I and The Snapper.

    I knew I should have made it a top 10 list but some movie is always going to miss the cut. Princess Bride and Office Space are also excellent choices. Bad Santa maybe the top 20. I think Billy Bob creeped me out so much in that movie that it tainted my feelings for the film.

    Wayne's World
    Stardom
    Just Married
    School of Rock
    Napoleon Dynamite
    Melvin Goes to Dinner
    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

    (Hehe, Bad Santa didn't make the cut, but if we had to do top 7 movie scenes, "Fuck me Santa fuck me Santa fuck me Santa" would be high on the list!)

    Okay, I've given this some serious thought. I'm sure there are omissions. Seven isn't a lot after all:

    This is Spinal Tap!
    Office Space
    Slapshot
    Raising Arizona
    Caddyshack
    Young Frankenstein (Abby somethingorother ...)
    A fish called Wanda

    By the way, the word verification: fcckn

    the best line in any movie is in A Christmas Story...

    "Do you like the Wizard of Oz? I like the Tin Man,"

    "Don't bother me, I am uh..thinking"
