No Tommy Boy or O Brother Where Art Thou??? sad list.
“We thought you were a Horney Toad.”
I have watched 4 Woody Allen movies, and none of them were funny.
It must be a New York comedy thing. Just like Monty Python and British comedy.
Because what New Yorkers think is funny, and what the British think is funny is NOT what I think is funny.
I would definitely vote for O Brother— saw it multiple times in the theater, even before buying the video and the music CD. "Do nawt seek the traysure!"
I guess Bob Hope films are before this list compiler's time, too.
Someone upthread mentioned Christmas Story, My Cousin Vinnie and The Russians Are Coming, which really should be on the list for American audiences. I rather liked Hairspray with Travolta and Walken; and one of my obscure faves from long ago is The Milagro Beanfield War with Rubén Blades. Another undersung fave is Something to Talk About with Julia Roberts, Dennis Quaid, Kyra Sedgewick, Robert Duvall and Gena Rowlands.
And for Euroweenies, it would be hard to beat the romantic drawing room romantic comedy A Room with a View, or the ensemble comedy Love Actually. Let's not forget Peter Sellers in Chauncey Gardner.
