It was on eleven top 10 lists same as Caddyshack(#9) and Holy Grail(#7). I was wondering how it would fair. It seemed kinda lofty to me.

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #2/Group #1

I bet a lot of top 10 lists for comedy didn't contain any movies from before 1980.

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #2/Group #1

This tournament is already getting tough in Round #2. I can't imagine how difficult the decisions are going to be as it goes on. Anyway, here are my picks:

-The Big Lebowski (Coen Brothers...enough said)
-A Christmas Story (The best Christmas movie of all time and one of my top favourite comedies)
-National Lampoon's Vacation (Love the Nerds, but not more than Clark Griswold)
Planes, Trains and Automobiles (By a landslide)
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Might just be the funniest and most enjoyable from Apatow Productions and one of my most favourite recent comedies)
Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgandy
Caddyshack (I love Life Of Brian, but I figure Holy Grail is a shoe in as the tournament continues and Caddyshack is one of the best comedies of all time)
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (See The Big Lebowski)

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #2/Group #1

It's a pity to see Grosse Pointe Blank bow out so early, and by such a hefty margin.

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #2/Group #1

#1 - Tough call, but MASH is a classic that I can't turn off. Lebowski is a bit overrated.
#2 - A Christmas Story by far.
#3 - Fond memories of seeing and reading Vacation, Nerds is alright.
#4 - Abstain. Love Planes, but don't think I've seen Grosse Point Blank.
#5 - Abstain. Forgot to watch Sarah Marshall.
#6 - Abstain. Haven't seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
#7 - Anything by Monty Python beats anything else in this entire contest.
#8 - O Brother by far.
