I really enjoy all of them for what they are. I'm torn between J&SBSB and Clerks.

It took me a few watches (since I was 15 or so when I first saw it) and some maturing for me to like Clerks, but I just watched it the other day, and it's really really funny. I don't know if it's the age increase or the fact that I've seen it 3 times now, but I was laughing out loud quite alot.

I loved Smith's movies in college. I'm almost 29 now and just don't find him all that funny anymore. Chasing Amy's still a pretty good flick though...

Well, I can't really vote - Clerks is the only stand out here but it wasn't really that great and some of Smith's other films had better moments - so..........uh..........Clerks?

I would usually pick the low-brow humor of Mallrats, but I just love the dialouge of Clerks

I'm going with Chasing Amy. It has just as much humor as the rest of the list, and a lot of emotion that really hit me. It was very touching for me, and still very enjoyable. Jason Lee, and even Affleck shines in this one. I also believe it contains the best J&SB moment throughout the VA saga, the Diner scene.

I'll say one thing though, after seeing this movie... I've refrained from using "gay" unless it's in its literal form. Don't wanna end up like Banky.
