In a conversation with my Dad the other day he mentioned that somewhere, someone had made a list of the funniest films ever and that Animal House topped the list. We were both shocked - we could come up with funnier movies than that off the top of our head. Not that that movie wasn't funny but best comedy of ALL TIME? Questionable. I found this list of AFI's Top 100 comedies and decided to share it with you. My comments are in red italics.

1. SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959) I love Marilyn Monroe, I love Jack Lemmon, I love this movie but #1? I'm not so sure...
2. TOOTSIE (1982) Cute movie but not worthy of #2.
3. DR. STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB (1964) I tried to watch this last year and fell asleep. I might have just been tired. I'll have to give it another try.
4. ANNIE HALL (1977) I haven't seen this since I was 6. I need to see it aagin.
5. DUCK SOUP (1933) Never seen
6. BLAZING SADDLES (1974) This movie has some of the best lines ever! "Somebody's gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes!" is my favorite.
7. M*A*S*H (1970) Funny, this movie depressed me. Maybe I need to see it again.
8. IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (1934) I started to watch this one night but I was sick and fell asleep. I love Claudette Colbert's name. :)
9. THE GRADUATE (1967) Go ahead and holler in indignation - I've never seen this.
10. AIRPLANE! (1980) Funny funny funny.
11. THE PRODUCERS (1968) Collin has this movie but I've never watched it.
12. A NIGHT AT THE OPERA (1935) Never seen it.
13. YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974) OMG! I adore this movie! This was the one that Dad thought should be #1.
14. BRINGING UP BABY (1938) I love this movie! Cary Grant is SO adorable and I love tha madcap-ness with Katherine Hepburn.
15. THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940) Look at that! Cary & Katherine together again! You can't go wrong!
16. SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1952) Never seen it.

19. HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940) It's in the Netflix queue.
20. THE APARTMENT (1960) Never seen it.

22. ADAM'S RIB (1949) Never seen it
23. WHEN HARRY MET SALLY… (1989) You're right, you're right...I know you're right. That's one of my most used movie quotes. This is a great movie!

25. THE GOLD RUSH (1925) Never seen it.
26. BEING THERE (1979) Never seen it.
27. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY (1998) I saw this once and I guess I didn't get the guy humor. It was okay. I probably need to see it again.
28. GHOSTBUSTERS (1984) I can recite you almost every line from this movie. This should be higher than 28.
29. THIS IS SPINAL TAP (1984) Classic and I'm surprised it's as low as this.
30. ARSENIC AND OLD LACE (1944) The first Cary Grant movie I ever saw. I love this movie SO much!
31. RAISING ARIZONA (1987) Mom & Dad took me to see this movie during my I-broke-my-thumb-they're-kicking-me-out-of-gym-class crisis and I laughed my fool head off and felt much better afterwards. John Goodman is a genius.
32. THE THIN MAN (1934) For just the look that passes between William Powell and Myrna Loy when she walks in on him comforting a stricken young lady makes this movie!
33. MODERN TIMES (1936) Never seen it.
34. GROUNDHOG DAY (1993) Cute movie but #33? Too far up.
35. HARVEY (1950) Never seen it.
36. NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE (1978) For all my talk about it earlier, I'm surprised on this list it's #36. Maybe top 15.

38. CITY LIGHTS (1931) Never seen it.
39. SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS (1941) Never seen it.
40. IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD (1963) EXCUSE ME?? #40?? Who the hell made this list???? It's #2 in my book! Non stop laughter, Spencer Tracy, (one of the cutest old men ever), Ethel Merman and the line "Except for you, lady! I hope you fall off a cliff and DIE!"
41. MOONSTRUCK (1987) Maybe I need to see this again. It's been since 87 that I watched it.
42. BIG (1988) Classic. Love Tom Hanks!

51. THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH (1955) "Never, ever, put sugar in a martini." This movie is hilarious! And not even for Marilyn's lines, which are great but the Tom Ewell character is so funny!
