Christ, I completely forgot about Dr. Strangelove 🤣 Didn't even have it in mind oddly enough.

Pretty solid list... gotta skim through it, check out what I don't know.

Surprised (and a little sad) Young Frankenstein and The General didn't make the top 10... And barring some kind of unexpected twist where my championing it as the funniest movie ever worked, shame on you BEA for not listing Happiness.

Super strong ranking for The Lobster, dope. Bit sad to see La Dolce Vita and Modern Times so low, but oh well. Really interested to see what our #1 is... City Lights? The Apartment? Annie Hall? Maybe Groundhog Day... dunno. One of those.

oh shoot!
it seems that I'm missing a lot of nice comedies here 😕
anyway that's the purpose of "best ever polls" I guess.
I added Trainwreck on my list and I'll watch The Night Before soon.
Neighbors is hilarious, I liked it.
Also, Mercury your list is sooo good �'�

Haha! Yeah somehow Dazed and Confused slipped my mind. Damn. Woulda shoulda coulda been too 30 on my list. Spinal Tap for years was for me like the holy grail of comedies (a very confusing phrase to use when talking comedy films). Was thinking it was generally accepted in the shortlist of all time classics in comedy. Like I️ was thinking top 10 or top 5 honestly.

This is spinal tap number 83???!? Whaat? That surprised me and made me sad.

I'd also like to point out that Viridiana and The Exterminating Angel are only separated by one film here and they were right next to each other on the 60s list, if I remember correctly. Just a fun coincidence for two amazing Bunuel films.

Really sorry to hear about that.

While this is still up, I want to say Bad Santa, Zombeavers, and Step Brothers are hilarious.
Has anyone seen Neighbors? I've heard mixed things. Seth Rogen is hit-or-miss for me. Loved The Night Before, hated The Interview.

Oh my god. Same. Did that make my list? I think it did. Funniest laugh out loud comedy in years. Either Seth Rogan has done a lot of drugs in his life (I know he's a well known marijuana enthusiast but I'm talking the other stuff), and/or he's a great character actor, and/or he really was on drugs during the filming of this movie. The way he reacted to everything was spot on. As a big fan of psychedelics I found myself identifying with so many moments in this film.

Also agree on Bad Santa. When that movie first came out on DVD I was in the early stages of being a movie buff so I hadn't fully matured but regardless this cracked my top 5 for a while (shared at the time with Casablanca, Pulp Fiction, The Wizard of Oz and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, so it was still arguably the "which of these do not belong" choice of the bunch). I watched it like 20 times in a month. So damn hilarious.

So far so good on the top 100. Totally surprised about some of the movies mentioned so early thus far. A lot of stuff I figured were no brainers for the top 50. This should be wild.

Also, you spelled Birdman and Borat wrong

Mixed is accurate. Wouldn't call it a good or particularly funny movie, but not terrible either.

My submission from pages ago will very likely remain unchanged until the deadline -- unless I add Aronofsky's Mother!

Just kidding 😁
