Your Favorite Comedies of All Time!!!

[Kaeos]

So comedies never seem to get the fanfare and bru-ha-ha that action, horror and sci-fi get around here so it's time to give the rib ticklers a go at the spotlight!

Chaotic Radio is back to ask for your assistance in a Top 10 List! We want to know what YOUR favorite Comedy Movies are. Which are the BEST. Any and all criteria are fair game here.

How you pick is totally up to you, we just really need your votes! Feel free to order them 1-10, 1-20, whatever! The more of your favorites you can name the better or just list out some of of your favorites. I'll automatically assign them in order as they appear, no worries!

So what do you say folks, can you come through for your radio boys once again?

To help, I went and pulled a list (in no particular order) of films from the last...I dunno 60 somethin' years of comedy films, but hey, if you know what you like, SCREW the list! :lol:

You actually had Beverly Hillbillies on that list? Wow.

[McJester]

The first two that pop into my mind without a doubt...

The Whole Nine Yards-
Mathew Perry blew my mind with his comedic genius, he added alot to the film. It had an actual story line that moved along, characters were generaly believable, of corse Bruce Willis adds the frosting to the cake. But I was sold on Mathew Perry ever since I saw that movie and to this day he is one of my favorite comedian/actors.

The 40-Year Old Virgin-
I hadnt laughed so hard in the theater since Scary Movie. I remember it being like a party in there... the whole theater was in an uproar of laughter as was I. I didnt even see it coming, I heard it was funny but I didnt have expectations. Steve Carell has since become one of my favorite actors following up his career with Little Miss Sunshine. But the movie to this day cracks me up and I think what I laugh and love about it the most is that it does beneath its raunchy humor reach people. I think audiences really related to it and the pressures of sex and insecurity. It made it even funnier, and I think almost revolutionary in comedic film making.

A short list of comedies not to be missed.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrals
What About Bob?
Ace Ventura : Pet Detective :
Tommy Boy
Nothing to Lose
Theres Something About Mary
Groundhog Day
Princess and the Pirate
Scared Stiff
Waynes World

Even though its a Christmas movie - Home Alone
Even though its a romance movie - Sleepless in Seattle

I know there are more and probabaly a couple I'll kick myself over not picking.
