A Fish Called Wanda shouldn't be included... — 2 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 — 2 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.

Mrs. Doubtfire? — 3 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 — 3 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.
