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

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

JOEKS people, dont get all aggro on me

I am going to start campaigning for Love and Basketball now

What's the next poll?

I sooooo want to see the ILX romance movies poll, actually. Would be honored to tally.

HARRUH

can we redo the whole poll now with all the movies we remembered and want to vote for?

who's with me!

...

yeah me neither

a romantic comedy poll might still be worth doing since barely a handful of movies in this top 100 would qualify (unless hetero bromance counted)

throw out the word "comedy"

you mean more than half this poll would qualify.

I already know what movies make ILX laugh, I want to know what movie make it LOVE

romantic poll

i wondered if someone would hop on that

romantics poll?

Wally Palmar – vocals, guitar, harmonica (1977–present)
Mike Skill – bass guitar, vocals (1982–present); guitar, vocals (1977–1981)
Coz Canler – guitar, vocals (1981–present)
Brad Elvis – drums, percussion (2004–present)
John Herrington - theremin (2012-present)

Former members
Clem Burke – drums, percussion (1990–1996, 1997–2004)
Jimmy Marinos – drums, percussion, vocals (1977–early 1985, 1996–1997)
David Petratos – drums, percussion, vocals (1985–1990)
Rich Cole – bass guitar (1977–1982)

Clem in a landslide, I'm calling it now

I think horror, sci-fi, war movies, romantic comedies, & romances are the most serious pending suggestions for all-time polls.

I recommend holding off on romantic comedies so close to the comedies poll, but I'm OK with whatever.

A ballot submission movie poll poll: where do we go from here? I predict ilxor clusterfuck.

I VOTE WAR

pretty sure eric h has staked the claim for starting the horror one tomorrow

Eric H. is gonna launch a horror poll, yeah?

I'd like to do an animated feature poll but only if people promise to fake Japan seriously.

*take

and man if you all think morbius was a noxious pedant here let me tell you what, i am about to become your WORST NIGHTMARE on that horror poll
