Re: Comedy Tournament Round #1/Group #7

Knocked Up - Squeaks by

Quick Change - Love it

There's Something About Mary

Young Frankenstein

High Fidelity - I know SLiH is supposed to be THE greatest comedy ever made, but I think it's terrible

Wedding Crashers

The Bank Dick


A Fish Called Wanda

Home Alone

Fast Times At Ridgemont High

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World - Might be my favorite comedy

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #1/Group #7

Three Amigos - By a nose.
Blazing Saddles - no contest.
There's Something About Mary - ditto.
Young Frankenstein - classic.
Some Like It Hot - This is losing? Really?
Wedding Crashers - wasn't a Swingers fan.
N/A - Haven't seen Bank Dick. Shameful.
Big Trouble in Little China - a favorite
Modern Times - One of Chaplin's best.
Fast Times - Not a dogma fan.
Tommy Boy - Farley at his best.

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #1/Group #7

#35 Three Amigos vs #94 Knocked Up

We'll see if Knocked Up is still funny in twenty years. A close one.

#14 Blazing Saddles vs #115 Quick Change

Blazing Saddles, to me, is blazingly unfunny.

#51 There's Something About Mary Vs #78 Snatch.

No match.

#19 Young Frankenstein vs #110 Election

I just don't find Mel Brooks funny.

#46 Some Like It Hot Vs #83 High Fidelity

SLiH may be better, but right now I'd be more in the mood to see High Fidelity.

#59 Wedding Crashers Vs #70 Swingers

A better film, but only slightly more watchable.

#27 Clerks Vs #102 The Bank Dick

Endlessly quotable.

#38 A Fish Called Wanda vs #91 Big Trouble in Little China

Would like to see this one again.

#54 Home Alone Vs #75 Modern Times

What's funny about Home Alone?

#22 Fast Times At Ridgemont High Vs #107 Dogma

Coin flip.

#43 Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World Vs #86 Tommy Boy

I love MMMM.

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #1/Group #7

In this entire bracket, there's not one film that I wouldn't rate way, way, way higher than Home Alone. But especially, Modern Times.

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #1/Group #7

Three Amigos
There's Something About Mary - Snatch is a better film, but comedy? Mary wins by default
Swingers
Clerks
A Fish Called Wanda - again, paired up with a non-comedy? However, Wanda would probably won against anything for me.
Dogma

*edit - wow, Wanda and Big Trouble close?
