Re: Funniest Films Of All Time?
Despite missing MIDNIGHT RUN - that's a good list. It has movies from many different time periods - which are all pretty funny. Also covers different tastes in humor.
The think I hate are the lists that begin at 1985 - as if the world did not exist before that.

Yes. There are at least a hundred honorable mentions. NAKED GUN, THE COURT JESTER, TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, CLERKS, and ABBOT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN to name a few."I ask every producer I meet if they need TV specs they say yeah. They all want a 40 inch display that's 1080p and 120Hz. So, I quit my job at the West Hollywood Best Buy."

Re: Funniest Films Of All Time?
It truly is a solid list. But I can't help thinking about the comedies that had acres of potential but felt short of greatness. Films like LOST IN AMERICA, MOTHER JUGGS & SPEED, THE HOT ROCK, and THE LONELY GUY.sigpic
It's ruff bein' me.

Re: Funniest Films Of All Time?
How surprising wonderful it is to see a recent top 10/50/100 movie list that actually has movies that were made before the 70's! I'm shocked!SIX-GUN GORILLA: LONG DAYS OF VENGEANCE.

Keaton's THE GENERAL (1926)
If you've not seen it, the Internet Archive gives a poor man's version, (with a terrible soundtrack).
The Kino blu-ray version offers three soundtracks, (my preference being Robert Israel's score, derived from silent film music), as well as an excellent HD print from the original 35mm negatives. One might get a better price elsewhere for this blu-ray.
Update on Easter Sunday:
Kino-Lorber is having a Spring Sale, (with 30 to 40% off the regular prices). The "Ultimate" blu-ray edition of THE GENERAL is US$24.47. A real bargain, (with free shipping to the U.S. and Canada for orders of US$50 or more)!!JEKYLL & CANADA (free .mp4 download @ Vimeo.com)

"Pulp Fiction" doesn't belong on the list."A screenwriter is much like being a fire hydrant with a bunch of dogs lined up around it.- -Frank Miller

Re: Funniest Films Of All Time?
There are about 300 comedies that should be in that list.
I'd add BLUES BROTHERS and THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS.TimeStorm & Blurred Vision Book info & blog: https://stormingtime.com//
