The Brits so love it when they beat out the US in anything, even a poll of Brits.

Why did they post every 10th winner instead of the titles following those highlighted in the article--or just publish the whole list?

I'm not offended by Christian-bashing if it's in a comedy film, but Life of Brian simply didn't make me laugh.

There's Something About Mary

That's unbeliveable. That movie sucked.

I've never understood the appeal of Monty Python.

IMHO, there are some glaring omissions in this list: "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," "Get Shorty," and any of the "Pink Panther" movies (although "A Shot in the Dark" made it), just to name a few.

I love MP, but I don't agree with this vote, by a long shot.

I love Monty Python--Holy Grail is hilarious, but the show itself was just great, wacky, cerebral/sophomoric humor.
