This is my list of the Top 10 Greatest Comedy Films of All Time. Feel free to comment with your list and suggestions. I am biased to 90’s films cause that was the “Hey Day” of buddy comedies!
#1. Dumb & Dumber — Hands down best comedy ever. Who knew Jeff Daniel’s had it in him– and you can see him let it ALL out midway through.
#2. Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. Jim Carrey was given carte blanche on comedic freedom. It may take a a couple viewing to get the full respect for this film, but when you do you’ll laugh forever.
#3. Waterboy. I Thaw you on the ESPN….
#4. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective– I am Heinze Skitz Velvet, trainer of Dolphins!
#5. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. I loved Vacation and Euro Vac, but Xmas Vac is the total package. Everyone who has siblings can relate to this Holiday Classic.
#6. Billy Madison - Again this may take a time or two for full respect, but when you see it!! Woo Hooo….
#7. Friday - Craig and Smokey bring laughter to the Hood.
#8. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - Kevin Smith’s dramatic comedies deserve respect, but this film is no holds barred foul comedy that will make you shit yourself.
#9. Tropic Thunder - Wow did this film blow me away. Robert Downey Jr and Ben Stiller did their usual masterful work, but the shocking performance by Tom Cruise almost got him a Golden Globe. Jack Black has another A+ performance as well.
#10. Tommy Boy– I couldn’t leave Farley off the list. Farley and Spade were quite the duo.
Damn Close Alternates: I wish there were more slots in the Top 10, but I can’t seem to drop any of these.
South Park–Bigger, Longer, & Uncut– Its almost too funny!
Dodge Ball– Go Balls Deep… F’n A Cotton…. F’n Aaaaa……
Airplane– Enough said
Superbad– minus the gay boy boy on boy friendship.
Happy Gilmore “Suck My White Ass Ball”
Trading Places “Damn Jerky Beef”
Me, Myself, and Irene — Warming the Mellon (Get the DVD extras!)
Pineapple Express– Craig Robinson deserves an oscar!
Kingpin– McCracken!
I KNOW I AM MISSING SOME….?????
Oh Yeah!!
