>all that boring old shit

Pretty predictaboe but hard to disagree with. It's missing Ghostbusters.

>Blazing Saddles not number 1
Shit list.

Good list, dump withnail and I and replace with something new like anchorman or stepbrothers

If The Nice Guys, What We Do in the Shadows, and Arsenic & Old Lace aren't on here the list is invalid.

>>86736177
So how many are still funny today?
But I guess it's unfair to judge them like this. I like classic horror that usually aren't scary today.

>>86738349
If duck soup doesn't make you laugh then there's something seriously wrong with you

should cut it off at the 70s, even shit like dumb and dumber, there's something about mary or superbad are actually still watchable and way funnier than 90% of that list

It should be higher on the list

Chaplin was never funny.

pretty garbage list.

how the fuck can there be a list of the 100 best comedies without School of Rock on it

I love the meme old = good

>>86736177
how the fuck is dr strangelove a comedy

>>86736177
>Some Like It Hot at number one

Meme movie. A Night at the Opera should be at the top.

>>86738349
Most of them still are funny, except maybe Strangelove, since most weren't using topical humor which ages like dog shit.

It's honestly worth watching many of these older comedies to learn just how timeless many of the jokes can be, unlike with more recent comedies like The Hangover which I doubt many are going to remember even now, just a few years after its making.

>>86736177

>Used Cars not in the top 10

Shitty list.

There is no way all these shitty old movies are the best comedies ever. Critics are not funny people, they don't know shit

>>86739520
Yeah they should really get with the times. Will Ferrel dragging his balls across a drum is truly the height of comedy kino

>>86738469
The full top 100 list has shit like Bridesmaids and Mean Girls and Pulp Fiction for some reason, but they have to make sure the Top 10 is old "respectable" shit to make them look all classy and better than you.

>>86739939
I think his complaint was about Bridesmaids ranking above those two films.

>>86739864
Better movie sure, funnier certainly not.

>>86738217
Ghostbusters is on the list, but Ghostbusters is garbage.

>>86740022
#1: Schindler's list

>>86739939

>>86740540

No, you're a retard.

It was a list of the best films of the 21st century and Mulholland Dr is objectively one of the best films of the 21st C

Borat should have been top 25

>>86740069
PA!

>>86736177
>Annie Hall
fucking DROPPED
Also it looks as though they've chosen comedies which are good films rather than comedies that are funny. I judge the quality of a comedy by how much it makes me laugh and completely disregard acting, story and cinematography quality, so Grimsby is what I consider the best. Anyone else do this?

>>86741874
sure but i end up with city lights anyway, so maybe it's the case with other critics and films on that list, go fuck a fat girl loser

>>86739508
Napolean dynamite was the funniest clean comedy produced in the last 30 years.

>>86739508
Spotted the edgy pretentious faggot.

Always some old ass movie at the top of these lists. Toy Story 1 is the greatest comedy film of all time.

>>86740525
Borat and Team America are on the list you fucking idiot.

>>86738469
There's Something About Mary is brilliant though and it's well revered with critics placing 27th in the AFI comedy list and 81th on that list.

Dumping it with shit like Dumb and Dumber and Superbad just shows your bad taste.

>le men dressing as women

Jewish comedy. You goyim aren't smart enough to get it. Jews dominate Hollywood for a reason you know...

>>86736177
Groundhog Day is far better as a high concept fantasy than as a comedy.
