This was on 20 To 1 tonight.

What is everyone's thoughts?

wtf is this crap? some of them sure.. a fish called wanda should be very near the top.. certainly beating out meet the parents.. american pie.. MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING?.. KENNY?!?!?

the people that put these lists together are absolute dropkicks. they're on the mark with a few.. but honestly movies like borat and kenny are a p!ss in the ocean compared to established and timeless classics such as wanda and co.

i'm seriously never watching that show again after seeing this list... hell i've only seen it (and was disappointed with it) once before anyway.

[newtownbluebags]

The Money Pit

 

[McLovin]

Yep...Eddie Murphy's comedies are some of the best imo...

 

[newtownbluebags]

Yeah, timeless stuff MC

 

[IanG]

All the Python films are gold so it would have been hard to choose between them, perhaps a tie between Life Of Brian and The Meaning of Life would be appropriate

Let's not forget Holy Grail either.

Thing is I haven't seen all of them. I would've put Shrek in there too

 

[Marshall_magic]

Let's not forget Holy Grail either.

Thing is I haven't seen all of them.

Ahh the Holy Grail, imo better than the life of brian, would the hollywood bowl count, thats my fav python, but if it doesn't I would go with the holy grail.

What's your name?

King Arthur

What's your quest?

to seek the holy grail

What's the terminal velocity of an unlaiden swallow?

African or European

[2 True Blues]

I reckon my first time watching " Something about mary " was the best gut laugh over a movie I have had ever !!!

 

[2 True Blues]

Another funny one that comes to mind was " throw Mumma from the train " . definately had it's moments. And Trading Places was OK as well !!!

 

[newtownbluebags]

Blows the cobwebs off - Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein :lol: :crazy:

 

[Steel Dragon]

I rate a bout three of those movies.

How can you have American Pie and Animal House in the one list?!?!

You either have Animal House - and realise most 'gross-out' adolecent 'teen' movies are all derivitive.

Or you have American Pie in the list - because youve never heard of Animal House and have only seen movies made since 1995.

I reckon my first time watching " Something about mary " was the best gut laugh over a movie I have had ever !!!

I agree, I watched the dog fighting scene about 8 years ago, and I still find it extremely funny.

 

[Phillips]

theres something about mary was about as funny as a loved one suffering from cancer

I found TSAM funny the first time round :lol: :crazy:
