Best SNL Movie

loool

Morbs, I'm sure we'll all do the right thing and run future ballots by a WWII vet before submitting.

apparently CHEVY CHASE IS THE GREATEST FILM COMEDIAN OF ALL TIME

Nobody's saying that, Morbs! We're saying he's the greatest comedian of all time full stop.

This is between og Wayne's World and MacGruber for me.

me too, tie goes to the movie with ghost porking

current snl is awesome, stefon forever

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.

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.

Mr mikes mondo video is fucking a+++++ FYI guys

Wayne's worlds both make me want to die tho so

haha

Caddyshack or Fletch.

lol those were my #1 and #2 in the comedy poll

just kill me now

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.

CHEVY CHASE IS THE GREATEST FILM COMEDIAN OF ALL TIME

When he was on and good he was one of the best, yes.

"OUTTA"? I haven't had coffee yet. OUGHTA, obv. I haven't had coffee yet.

Or is it aughta? I think it should be aughta but isn't. OK, coffee. Yes.

wayne's world ahead of ladies man, love blues bros but i dunno is it a very good movie

have always h8d chevy chase's smug smug face

macgruber was pretty awful

yeah, i refuse to believe MacGruber is actually good

It was better than I expected but I wouldn't call it "good".

Voted Bob Roberts, but might have gone with The Coneheads cartoon.

this thread took a rough tumble through the challopian tube. in 9 mos it may give birth to something even more RONG

One can only hope

let's just hope Armond White doesn't finally start posting here, coinciding with Momus' return.

macgruber has more laffs in it than anything in this poll, save the two waynes worlds

Wayne's World II would probably win for me. between the Charlton Heston cameo, the roadie, and the sequence of Wayne pickin the Waynestock bands from conveniently placed visual stimuli...classic.

Anyone who's dismissing MacGruber out of hand is doing themselves a grave disservice.

i'm dismissing it out of having watched it, yerman is painful to the eye/ear

the Church Lady Trilogy is going to own this when it finally comes out

I saw MacGruber, it wasn't really all that funny.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Masterpiece: It's Pat - The Movie
Pretty damn close: Stuart Saves His Family; Superstar
Shame on you for stealing the title of the greatest American film comedy: The Ladies Man

But the real question is: does the Lewis Ladies Man hold a candle to It's Pat?

bozelka back

can we just

That same year, her father, C.L. Franklin was shot during an armed robbery of his home, and subsequently spent the next five years in a coma, prompting his daughter to leave L.A. and return home to Detroit. Franklin’s career seemed similarly incapacitated as the new decade dawned.

Fab factoid: Dixie Square Mall, in which the car-chase scenes from The Blues Brothers were filmed, chosen for filming because it had just closed down in 1978 only 13 years after it was built, still stands today because nobody wanted to pay to tear it down. It has stood as a derelict, vacant building for over twice as long as it was actually open for business!

I kind of loathe Superstar with a gut-wrenching intensity

like KJB repping for it in the same breath as Stuart tempts me to watch it again, but, as it turns out, the thought of ever watching it again is itself a peculiar form of torture

xp A friend of mine grew up near that mall, which was vacant during his whole childhood...except for one night when it was mysteriously, and suddenly, completely lit-up and fully-stocked. A day or two later, it was back to being vacant. He thought he'd dreamed it or was otherwise going nuts until he saw the movie.

Forget the movie, I kind of loathed the Mary Catherine Gallagher sketches.

Like, I might have to do a sequel to this poll: Worst SNL Sketch Upon Which a Movie Was Based. Roxbury would probably win. I honestly don't know what Lorne was smoking there for a while.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I guess not *everyone* hates the Blues Brothers. hmph

I can live with that top three.

Coneheads should have been a great movie but wasn't at all

wayne's world deserves its place, but how many were attributable to "anything but the blues brothers" pseudo-challops?!?

also, i'm both happy and sad that a night at the roxbury got 3 pts.
