Missing a couple.... — 6 years ago

I agree…. Lebowski needs to be in this list. Along with “The Party” (Peter Sellers) and “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” (Steve Martin/Micheal Cane)


I'm with the dude.... — 6 years ago

Where the hell is Lebowski?


A Fish Called Wanda shouldn't be included... — 6 years ago

A Fish Called Wanda should not be on the list. Not because it isn’t funny, in fact it should be a lot higher than it is. The fact is it’s not an American movie.

British director, British writer and star, plus the main Production Company is British…


@#*(*&@@# Man, call me Dude — 6 years ago

Mannn, what is this…I mean, I’mmm just trying to #&##$ figure this #%$#! out. This is, like, the Man’s list or something. This will not stand. This aggression will not stand.

The Dude.


ummm.... — 6 years ago

…a fish called wanda isn’t american. john cleese is english.


Mrs. Doubtfire? — 6 years ago

How can you include “Mrs. Doubtfire” in a list that excludes Neil Simon’s “Seems Like Old Times” or “Noises Off”?


Monkey Business Correction — 7 years ago

Item 73, Monkey Business was pointing to the wrong movie. It was pointing to the 1952 Howard Hawks film instead of the 1931 Norman Mcleod movie.
