I have to make a choice here? Fuck. I think Groundhog is the better film (it's a 10 out of 10 film, IMO), but I think I have to go with Ghostbusters. I wouldn't be surprised if 10 years from now--and after several more repeat viewings for each-- I call Groundhog a bigger fave.

Damn now it's getting really tough.
Caddyshack - If you ask me tomorrow I might say Vacation, the next day Caddyshack. Really hard to pick one.
Office Space - Easily.
Python - Damn, I hate voting against Airplane too.
Ghostbusters - Somewhat easier.

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #5/Final 8
Yep, maybe Caddyshack too. It figures that my two favorites are facing each other. 
Caddyshack
Ferris Bueller's Day Off - I still don't get the love for OS.
Airplane - Tough, I don't really care for spoofs or Python.
Groundhog Day - AGH, I love both!

Re: Comedy Tournament Round #5/Final 8
Things I like about Office Space, in no particular order:
- The characters' plot is taken from Superman III
- Jennifer Aniston is entirely likable in a girl-next-door role...before that's what she became known for doing.
- I love Herman Melville's short story, "Bartleby, the Scrivener" and Ron Livingston's character is clearly a descendant of that guy.
- It's an amusing reflection on workplace politics. The guys who work the hardest are overlooked; the guys who care the least are rewarded.
- At its heart, the movie is very grounded in the rut of reality, but what makes it fun is the heightened absurdity of the characters' behavior and actions.

#1 - Never got the love for Caddyshack, Vacation all the way.
#2 - Slightly tough choice, but I'll go Ferris Bueller's Day Off over Office Space.
#3 - Love Airplane, but all of these lose to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
#4 - Groundhog Day is nearly perfect, but I knew it would lose in most of these possible match-ups. Ghostbusters would be 4th of this list for me.

Is ghostbusters really that funny? It is a cool flick, I could watch it over and over, but I laugh at Groundhog day much more...
