I started thinking about it and made my own list (couldn't boil it down to 10 but neither could she so that's cool).
In alphabetical order:
My list would include:
- Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
- Animal House
- Dogma
- Empire Records
- Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
- Harold & Maude
- High Fidelity
- The Jerk
- Juno
- Thirteen Going On Thirty
- When Harry Met Sally
- While You Were Sleeping
There are ten very funny films but I'd also have to include a few films some might not consider because they could also be included in other categories: - Elf (Holiday classic)
- Evil Dead 2 (Horror comedy...maybe I should include Shaun of the Dead also.)
- The Goonies (This is not a family movie but is always put there in video stores. I'd call it an action comedy.)
- Muppet Treasure Island (This is a family movie but is also one of the funniest films I've ever seen.)
- Back to the Future Trilogy (Is this a comedy and not just a sci-fi action film? Yes.)
And then maybe I'd want to mention: - Airplane
- Being John Malcovich
- Knocked Up
- Mallrats
- Rat Race
- That Thing You Do
I have a strong feeling that Forgetting Sarah Marshall is going to be on my list. Richard Roeper gave it the best review I've ever heard him give anything and said it's an instant classic that he would include on his funniest movies of all time list. It comes out this Friday.
Anyway, those twenty-three films are in my top ten comedies. I know I left something out...hmmmmm.
