I do need to do up a more accurate tally as I believe my totals are a little screwy, will have no bearing on the winner though, who has shit in by the length of ten straights.

This may change by the odd number here or there but my quick calculations show that I received votes from 19 members including myself, who all voted for 113 different films.

To narrow this list down I have eliminated any film that received only 1 single vote, I've placed slightly more importance on the number of votes received rather than the highest single vote total (if that makes sense).

What that will mean is that there may be one film that did not get eliminated as it received 2 votes, however the total points from those 2 votes is actually less than some films that received 1 vote.

At some point tomorrow I will post the list of films that did not make the final cut, that is all the films that received 1 vote in total.

While it makes sense, it potentially could mean some people get no movies (even their #1) in the countdown, which is sad panda.

Ok taking Mush's point into consideration, those films that could only garner a single solitary first, second, third or fourth place vote will be included in the countdown, leaving us with...

3 of mine down. Old School, Taladega Nights and Jackass.

If it was a top 15 I would have had votes for Super Troopers, South Park and Step Brothers. Shame to see them fall short :(

Four of mine missed the cut....Hercules Returns, The Jerk, The Sleeper and Mrs Doubtfire. As I put my votes in a few weeks before Robin Williams' death, it wasn't a sympathy vote. :p

Got The Meaning of Life at No. 54 - would have thought it would be higher than that.

Same goes for Hercules Returns - last year a few people mentioned it in the What Movie Have You Seen thread. Looks like they didn't vote.

can't believe some of these movies aren't even in the top 15.

The Great Dictator was the most aggressive satirical comedy about an actual person ever made, and The Trouble With Harry is arguably one of the first black comedy films ever made.

Shame on you all

I had four cut. Dr Strangelove and Horse Feathers I thought might make it.

I thought True Romance was funny, but it was a long shot

True Romance is one of my favourite movies of all time, and I guess there were a few funny moments, but didnt have it down as a comedy.

Had In Bruges though, pleased to see it get somewhere

also had In The Loop cut
