Animal House was a national college campus phenomenon. It spawned one of the greatest beach music songs of all time and it was supped to be 50's era doo wop spoof, but it was good!

Wait until Otis sees us, he loves us!

If you don't agree with everything on the list, or especially if you think something's been missed, remember the words of the Dude: "Yeah, well ... you know, that just like, ah, your opinion man".

Airplane is still my #1, but maybe that is because I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue.

What about Mel Brooks’ “The Producers”? The original, not the remake? Speaking of Mel Brooks, what about “Blazing Saddles” or “Young Frankenstein”?

“Groundhog Day”

Seriously???? It was mildly entertaining at best....It was Oppressively monotonous, redundant to absurdity, had a mindless plot and was written unremarkably at worst.

“Neighbors” was a vastly more novel and funny movie and didn’t even make the list.

Most telling that none are recent. There is no such thing as funny these days.

How does someone make a list of funny films and not include Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor in Silver Streak, George C. Scott in Flim Flam Man, or Woody Allen's What's up, Tiger Lily?
