how im gonna make up something universal, doesnt even make any sense: IT"S THE TOP 100 COMEDY FILMS RESULTS THREAD

oh you know what, I am not thinking of Slither (which I did see a scene of), I'm thinking of that movie with Kevin Bacon

TREMORS, that is what I was thinking of

okay is everyone clear on what Slither is now? lol

haha maybe no movie named "Slither" even exists!

Is Porridge the movie based on the TV show?

oh wait you mean SLITHER

I thought you meant Ernest Goes To Camp

nm

xpost YES :D

AP, I appreciate your hard work, and you gain truth-factor respect for leaving "all time" out of the thread title.

slither is notable mainly because it is the only horror comedy that actually beats the evil dead trilogy at its own game

OK wait, my last word on the topic. From imdb:

Slither (1974)
TV Movie - 30 min - Comedy | Crime
4.1 Your rating: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 -/10 X Ratings: 4.1/10 from 5 users
Reviews: write review

A well-meaning but stupid ex-convict is drawn into a get-rich scheme that could result in his imprisonment.

here are more or less the 20 highest grossing (non-animated/musical) comedies of all time (adj. for inflation) that did not place in the poll: The Sting, The Graduate, Home Alone, Beverly Hills Cop, American Graffiti, Smokey And The Bandit, Men In Black, Mrs. Doubtfire, Crocodile Dundee, Gremlins, Meet The Fockers, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, Pretty Woman, Home Alone 2, Three Men And A Baby, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Austin Powers 2, Bruce Almighty, Rush Hour 2, Liar Liar

A Christmas Story is probably the most canonical-seeming movie that i'm genuinely surprised missed the top 100. maybe it would've done a lot better pre-Bad Santa.

I'd say pre-24-hour Christmas marathons. 24 hours of any one thing is, I'm sure, enough to make a lot of people kinda hate that thing.

The Sting can eat a dick, thank u ILX for ignoring it

OK I liked Slither and all but no.

Is Porridge the movie based on the TV show?

yes, according to Wikipedia.

tbh, i was kinda hoping that it was some sort of bizarre British kids' comedy, like a twisted "Andy Pandy" or some shit like that.

this is my highest-ranked movie that didn't make the list, it was my no. 2 choice - have people just not seen it or does no one love it as much as me (with the exception of the one person who gave it a first-place ranking)

this may be the first thing that hungry4ass and i agree on btw

jjjusten slither is good and all but re: evil dead trilogy, you're high :)

motherfucker, real genius didn't make the list either!?!? crazy world.

well obv from my ballot i have tons of love for the evil deads but idk, slither hits the sweet spot right between the half-comedy of 2 and the slapstick of AOD for me.

the UK Porridge movie is pretty well respected as one of the only decent tv-sitcom-to-film transfers of the 70s/80s (of which there were freaking hundreds) alongside the
Likely Lads movie. it's hillarious. Porridge is probably my favourite sitcom of all time.

yeah i was pretty shocked Real Genius lost, especially so much lower than Top Secret

it's sort of surprising, but then again I have always thought Top Secret > Real Genius

DID YOU FORGET TO VOTE FOR ONE OF THESE MOVIES? BECAUSE THEY MIGHT HAVE PLACED. I BET THAT HURTS.

the fact that death race 2000 and hobo with a shotgun placed in the top half is very pleasing to me btw

i was kind of relieved to scan 101-120 and not see anything i was really regretful to have not given a vote to

I am really surprised by some of those being that high in the list, but really more surprised that some are so low

I voted for Toy Story 2, Fletch and The Man with Two Brains from that 101-120 list.

I regret that most of you forgot to vote for Super Troopers

I gave Super Troopers 40pts ;_;

Better Off Dead was another late casualty on my ballot

I would've put The Man With Two Brains and Hot Fuzz a little higher on my ballot had I known they'd were that close to making it. Both of them are all-time best.

Also LOL that one of the Looney Tunes picks almost made it into the top 100.

i voted for Toy Story 2, In Bruges and Palm Beach Story from that 101-120 list.

and i'm shocked that all of them placed THAT high.

If I was going to redo my ballot, I probably would have both Clue and Sleeper on it instead of Victor/Victoria and Undercover Brother

Linking again to the full results post for ease of reference as it has disapeared into the 5000+ chasm in the middle of the thread:

how im gonna make up something universal, doesnt even make any sense: IT"S THE TOP 100 COMEDY FILMS RESULTS THREAD

I probably would have both Clue and Sleeper on it instead of Victor/Victoria...

i do not regret victor/victoria

I think I may redo mine because I want to change a lot. I may do it just for kicks. Ugh who have I become?

no weird science. i might have to do a list and then stare at it.

when i drafted my list i kind of vaguely did it out to my top 100 so that i could easily look at what i ended up not voting for that i could regret or change my mind about later

Would've voted for Slap Shot and maybe Palm Beach Story from that 101-120 list

NICHT, TOTO, NICHT

I initially had 'Porridge the movie' on my ballot in the 40s but realised it was more vote for the tv show than the movie so dropped it.

I love I Know Where I'm Going! and L'Atalante, but chose to classify em as romances, essentially.

it would never occur to me to classify either as comedies, yeah

but will we ever poll romances?

god i hope not
