  Actually, I like Ishtar...
  I liked the Bob Hope road movies, even before he died and
  it suddenly seemed ok to like them. Some of my faves.. Soapdish,
  Rhustlers Rhapsody, the first Muppet Movie, Viva Max, Pink Panther,
  A bunch of Cary Grant comedies, that should do for starters.

      Hey, AH - seems like you are about to get your usual beating, one you usually get over the lists. I hope you have been sufficiently toughened by now!

      That is so common... you try to do people some good and they throw mud at ya!

        VK - I'm definitely a toughie now from that intial barrage of opinionated 'mud'. Have to disagree with your 'usual beating' comment however, more than a few
        have liked some of my old sci-fi lists, with exception of you, of
        course. That's cool with me though.

    The ONLY ones I would put on any list of mine are "Annie Hall" and the two Mel Brooks films. Most of the rest are pure garbage.

  "Blazing Saddles"
  Cheech & Chong: "Up In Smoke" or "Next Movie"
  "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World"
  "Pink Panther"
  "Odd Couple"

  "Forrest Gump" & "Finding Nemo" were good movies but come on now great comedies. Well at least they had "Holy Grail".

    In fact you can count almost all of Billy´s films, not only the one he directed but the one with Brakett he co-wrote.
    And all the Lubitsch films. A shame that nobody´s seems to mention them.
    For me he is one of the greatest ever. A great humanist and an humour of the finest. Ever.

• IMDB? - grantv 20:34:38 08/23/04 (4)
  In Reply to: So much wrong with the IMDB top 50 funny movies... posted by Bas Horneman on August 23, 2004 at 16:33:37:

  Never heard of the IMDB, but I have a few favorites that come to mind....
  -So I married an axe murderer. Mostly only the scene where the father (Mike Myers in disguise) is picking on the younger son.
  -Naked gun movies
  -Austin Powers movies
  OK, I'm drawing a blank. So what is the IMDB anyway?

    In Reply to: IMDB? posted by grantv on August 23, 2004 at 20:34:38:

    not the Naked gun stuff though!!...but yea one would expect a lot more of the recent movies to be in the top 50...like
    the Austin Power stuff and American Pie...or other schoolboy humour movies that I like. Ghostbusters...comes to mind...especially the scene where Murray does ESP experiment.. Wayne's world. Hey maybe even a Jim Carry movie? Some brilliant scene's in some of his stuff...like dumb dumber..when they laugh when putting chili on the guy's burger..etc, etc.
    To infinity and beyond!!!
