"100 Funniest Movies"...Bravo TV's List?
 

This special debut Friday (5.26) and completed Saturday (5.27). I didn't see it all, but I didn't like the ordering too much. Putting some of the more recent successful comedies like "Meet The Fockers" and "Wedding Crashers" in the top 25. No way MTF's is that highly ranked on any list.

Well, their #1 was "Animal House" which I can get behind, but of all time or whatever year they decided to start at?

Anyone have a complete list? I don't think it is published yet, but maybe someone jotted them down. I am particularly interested in where "Young Frankenstein" was ranked as a few critics have said this is the funniest film of all time.

AFI disagrees putting it at 13 with "Some Like It Hot" at #1. I don't even think SLIH was on their list or any Marx Brothers movies. Maybe they didn't go back that far. Anyone know if there was a certain year they started from as oldies weren't there at all I don't think.

Anyway let me know. TIA.

I just shut the special off when Legally Blonde was listed as number 29.

Meet The Fockers?

Surely that was a type and was supposed to be Meet The Parents. Right?

Meet the Fockers in the top 25, NO SALE.

I watched it but only to get an idea for some films I haven't seen. I guess I'm in the minority in hating Animal House. The only time I laughed was when Bluto is giving his inspirational speech...

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
"Germans?"
"Forget it, he's rolling."

Excuse me......The Wedding Singer in the top 10? :hscratch:
Young Frankenstein #56 :jawdrop:

exactly! one horrible list! thanks ho!

What About Bob? #43
Meet the Parents #52
Meet the Fockers #25

WTF!

Ghostbusters #76??? At least they got #1 and #2 right.

THE BLUES BROTHERS is at #69 but THE WEDDING SINGER is #7?! Fuck me with a garden rake...

no Coming to America on the list= a fraud

I'll make the statement that this is the worst list ever.

Every list is the worst ever. This is no different ;)

Ok, one more...no Trading Places? Worst list ever!

Just some of the many crimes on the list:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail lower than Mrs. Doubtfire

National Lampoon's Vaction lower than American Pie

The Blues Brothers below Kingpin

Naked Gun lower than Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

This is Spinal Tap lower than What About Bob?

Meet the Parents lower than Meet the Fockers

Spaceballs, The 'burbs, Men in Black, Ed Wood, Army of Darkness not even on the list, but Eddy Murphy's The Nutty Professor and Sister Act are.

Edited to Add: Pixar barely even made the list with only The Incredibles charting at #46, but Shrek is #3.

Unless I'm missing it, there's not much love for John Candy.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles?
Uncle Buck?

Personally, Robert Zemeckis' Used Cars would be very high on my list. That is one of the funniest films I've ever seen.

Also, did not see Stir Crazy - The funniest film Richard Pryor & Gene Wilder made.

BTW, has anyone watched Airplane lately. I remember it as so funny back when I first saw it in the theater, but now it really seems dated. (I always wonder too - Are kids watching the film today wondering who the old guy in the taxi is? -smile- )

The fact that Zoolander is on the list negates its validity, imho.

Also, Spinal Tap at #64? That really should be in the top 20 (at least)

This is Spinal Tap lower than any movie on that list is a crime.

This list is comedy treason. I watched it in amazment.

Uh, where is Duck Soup? Or any movie made before the 1960's for that matter?

Even worse, There's Something About Mary in the top ten? That has to be the most unfunny piece of shit ever put to film. Blues Brothers was way funnier. Shit, even Zoolander was way funnier.

Well, I can't go with you on that one...

There's Something About Mary was funny once, the first time. It has no replay value in my opinion.

Spinal Tap at 64 just broke my spirit. :(

Dated, yes. And hysterical. One of a handful of movies that I can put in and laugh at just about every joke that made me laugh the first and second times. It just never gets old.

Anyway, this list is almost as funny.

Dr. Strangelove #53? Do they know comedies existed before the 70s? These people ever heard of Peter Sellers? Charlie Chaplin? All those '30s comedians? No Ladykillers '55?
This really has to be near the top of the worst lists ever made, even other film lists had some sort of semblance among their criticisms, this is just ghastly.
