you know what makes a hilarious comedy is great music and car crashes
Question is Best SNL Movie. Bob Roberts is probably up there too, even though it didn't have the belly laughs of MacGruber.

I kind of never need to see the Blues Brothers again but it is funny - there are plenty of jokes in it and the music is great. also agree that it features Carrie Fisher at her most smashable. Belushi's excuse-speech is pure gold.

I'm suddenly realizing that I've only seen three of these. Should probably watch this "Blue Brothers" movie sometime, though, huh? Will I like it if I didn't particularly care for According To Jim?

And the Toonces, The Cat Who Could Drive A Car special. A half hour of Toonces bits, interspersed with a bunch of new, non-Toonces material written by Jack Handey and starring George Wendt, Randy Quaid, Kevin McDonald from Kids in the Hall, and Joe Flaherty as a time-traveling Abe Lincoln.
― General Scheherazod (Deric W. Haircare), Saturday, 24 March 2012 00:19 (twelve years ago) link
Not to mention MTV's Wayne's World specials. Which might arguably be as good as the movies.

I can't stand hearing movie quotes repeated ad infinitum, especially Caddyshack or Fletch.
But danged if I don't sit down for dinner at every company retreat with two unfamiliar co-workers and go "Orange Whip? Orange Whip?"

I would see a stefon movie for real
I think the only one of these I've ever seen straight through is Wayne's World, which was funny but not very funny, and kind of sluggish and forced - for a zany movie based on a sketch comedy show it's not exactly laugh-a-minute. Voting Blues Brothers on the grounds that even if it were less funny than Wayne's World (and from what I've seen of it, it's got some moments?), it has some kick-ass musicians doing pretty decent performances. I'd buy that for a dollar.

Alice Cooper explaining the history of Milwaukee vs Ray Charles shooting a gun over the head of a shoplifter. I understand both sides.
― pplains, Saturday, 24 March 2012 04:36 (twelve years ago) link
The Milwaukee thing was pretty great, I'll give you that. And the moment when he's like "No, no, stay, guys!" and for a second it seems like Wayne & Garth have been sufficiently turned off by his Milwaukee nerd speech that they actually are going to just politely excuse themselves.

WHY I OUTTA
Listen - They're my favorite funniest movies! I have to say though that in the end I found ranking the 50 a lot harder than picking 50. I wasn't really sure about the order at all - even the top 10. 11-50 ranking was pretty much totally arbitrary.
