Here I go again...showing my age. My list of Top Ten Comedy Movies in no particular order is...
10: His Girl Friday from 1940 starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. (Based from The Front Page)
9: Spaceballs from 1987 starring Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, John Candy and of course Mel Brooks.
8: National Lampoon's Animal House from 1978 starring John Belushi and Tim Matheson. (FOOD FIGHT!)
7: The Front Page from 1974 starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. (This is an update from the original movie done in 1931.)
6: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb from 1964 starring Peter Sellers and George C. Scott.
5: The Thin Man from 1934 starring William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick & Nora Charles. Technically a murder - mystery...it's still a gas.
4: Arthur from 1981 starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli. It's fun to be a rich drunk!
3: Airplane! from 1980 starring Robert Hayes and Julie Hagerty.
2: M*A*S*H from 1970 starring Elliott Gould, Donald Sutherland and Sally Kellerman. Hotlips O'Houlihan: I wonder how such a degenerated person ever reached a position of authority in the Army Medical Corps?
Father Mulcahy: He was drafted.
1: Blazing Saddles from 1974 starring Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder and Cleavon Little. Bart: Sir, he specifically requested two "n******". Well, to tell the family secret, my grandmother was Dutch.
