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.

Should be...

No. 1---Caddyshack.

WHAT!? MP & The Holy Grail RULES!!

Arthur: ...I just chopped off your bleeding arm!!!

Knight: It's just a flesh wound.

[Huntress]

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.

[sirchtruth]

Where's "Animal House?"

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

I liked "Holy Grail" better.

But my favorite comedy is "Dr. Strangelove (or how I learned to love the bomb)" with Peter Sellers. "Being There", also with Peter Sellers is a close second.

[ConservativeMind]

It is a great movie and it lambastes liberal thinking left and right.

"I want to be a woman."
"What?"
"I want to have babies."
"But you can't be a woman, Stan."
"Don't you oppress me!"
"I'm not oppressing you."
"Where's your baby going to gestate? You gonna keep it in a box?"

After a few in the protest group feel sympathy...
"We will fight for your right to have babies, brother. I mean 'sister'."

[Supernatural]

"You can't fight in here. This is the War Room"...Dr. Strangelove

[Central Scrutiniser]

All very very funny films.

Life of Brian is a classic.


Wait till Biggus Dickus hears of this!

[Supernatural]

In "Dr. Strangelove", the B52 Slim Pickens is in gets hit over the Soviet Union by a missle. Control of the plane is momentarily lost. When they regain control, Slim takes out a survival kit and starts going over the contents.

"$1,000 in gold, a dozen condoms, nylon stockings, a pistol and ammunition...a guy could have a pretty good time in Las Vegas with all this stuff".

[Colonel_Flagg]

Unbelievable.

You got that right. I'm a hardcore Python fan and "Life of Brian" wasn't even the funniest movie that had John Cleese in it (that would be "A Fish Called Wanda", which was rated 23rd).

South Park is too highly rated (though I liked it too) and "Young Frankenstein" not rated highly enough (20th). So too "Naked Gun" (14th).

The website has a picture of Oliver Hardy but the list has no Laurel and Hardy movies, which is a shame as "Way Out West" (1937) or "Sons of the Desert (1933) were funnier to me than "Dumb and Dumber."
