Sheesh back then in the 70's on the cover Esquire was a psuedo Playboy, which featured barely dressed women, that we wil would see on the magazine rack in the 70's.

But I have to disagree with their choice of the best time comedy picture, mine is "Blazing Saddles".

“One, Two, Three”

I wouldn't have classified The Breakfast Club as a comedy, though it had its comedic points.

I was a pledge in a Fraternity when Animal House came out, the brothers took us to the movie to “learn” what being a pledge was all about, Animal House was fictional but contained enough truth to make it hysterical funny, every Fraternity had a John Belushi character, perhaps more than one, some of my best friends in life and some of the best experiences were in that Fraternity

I would have had Young Frankenstein ahead of at least 45 of those... pfft.

[BigFreakinToad]

Airplane, Animal House for sure.

Best scene ever, ever is when Arnold Stang and Marvin Kaplan get their gas station destroyed by Jonathan Winters in Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Animal House wasn’t funny then and its not funny now. Neither are Mel Brooks movies.

[moreisee]

No “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad World”?

[Dr. Sivana]

Only four movies before 1970. NONE from the 1940s. Only one fron the ‘30s.
Spaceballs as representative of Mel Brooks?! I favor the mostly forgotten Silent Movie or The Peoducers, or High Anxiety. Many would go with Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein. Spaceballs is like saying Henry IV Part II is your favorite Shakespeare play.

Clue?! Really!? It wasn’t funny. Murder by Death aces it in that genre, and the Maltese Falcon is funnier than both, even though it isn’t a comedy.

This is a list by someone given an assignment who knows little about cinema or its history, and hasn’t seen a broad enough spread of movies. I am not sure if he is mainly ignorant or just has stunted taste.

I watched “Hot Fuzz” a few months ago, I hadn’t laughed so hard in a movie for a long time.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Not the original The Producers? Not Kentucky Fried Movie? Not Annie Hall? Not A Night at the Opera?

[dfwgator]

BASEketball, made me laugh out loud so much.

I don’t know why Matt and Trey distance themselves from it now, I thought they were great.

[Aria]

They forgot “Four Weddings and a Funeral”.

I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe.

Oh, COME ON...

Dr. Strangelove: You know that lingering fear we had for about four years that someone might push a button and cause an international nuclear holocaust?

Barf. They just can't help themselves.
