You're having a hard time finding someone who likes John Cusack? I was not aware that was a problem.

I've heard of and/or seen every movie up there except for Life of Brian. Some of those movies I expected to be up there, like Monty Python, Pulp Fiction, Airplane!, and Naked Gun. All of them very good movies. Now all you need to do is find a more recent list.

Go to hell...

There are quite a few films in that list I have never heard of, and all the ones I HAVE heard of are ones I've also seen. :-P

Although surely Ghostbusters and Dumb and Dumber should've been higher up...

Aside from side references to A Mighty Wind and Team America, all those on the list came before 2000.

EDIT: Here's the American Film Institute's idea of the 100 greatest. Also put out in 2000. What kind of gets me about this list is that although I love many of these movies, I wouldn't really consider them comedies (Harold and Maude, for instance):

I do not see Spaceballs on this list.
It is clearly made of poor judgement and fail.

Rowan Atkinson is funny, but I don't care for the Mr. Bean character. I don't know what it is, and I'm glad it evokes happy memories for you, TP, but it's just not me. Naked Gun either.

Bill and Ted, while also amusing, aren't the greatest for me either. They're sort of like Napoleon Dynamite humor, pre-Napoleon Dynamite, in that they're all about righteousness and not swearing so much. Bogus Journey was pretty campy, though.

To add to my earlier post, Dumb & Dumber before Clerks., Dr. Strangelove, Pulp Fiction, Big Lebowski, Princess Bride, Heathers, and Evil Dead II? I think not.

Furthermore, the list is interestingly lacking in Robin Williams. While I'm not really a fan, he did put out quite a bit of great things.

I'd add to the list:
Tootsie
Galaxy Quest
As Good As It Gets
Waiting for Guffman (or in place of that A Mighty Wind)
Krippendorf's Tribe
Kentucky Fried Movie
Orgazmo (or even Team America)

The list could go on.

Sorry, I'm just picky when it comes to entertainment sometimes.

I don't agree with American Pies standing. I thought that movie was just "okay".

Addition: About Mr. Bean, I love him. I watch his shows and it doesn't really bring a bucket full of laughter, but it makes me happy. My grandma has tapes of the show, and I used to watch them all the time as a young lad. It brings back good memories, yo.

While I can see why most of those would be there, I simply don't agree with the placement of some and the order in general.

Really it is all a matter of personal taste, but films like "There's Something About Mary," "Four Weddings and a Funeral," and "Bill and Ted" definitely wouldn't be anywhere on my top 50 list.

Then again it is a British list, and the Brits (and Australians and Europeans, in general) find all sorts of things funny that we don't. Hence Mr. Bean's popularity.
