As shown on TV last night. Not sure how they decided, but here’s their list counting down to number one:
20. A Fish Called Wanda
19. Dumb & Dumber (1994)
18. Blazing Saddles (1974)
17. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
16. Kenny (2006)
15. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988)
14. American Pie #1 (1999)
13. Groundhog Day (1993)
12. The Blues Brothers (1980)
11. Borat
10. Four Weddings & A Funeral
9. This Is Spinal Tap (1984)
8. Meet The Parents
7. Animal House
6. Caddyshack
5. There’s Something About Mary (1998)
4. The Party (1968)
3. Austin Powers #1: International Man of Mystery (1997)
2. Flying High! (Airplane) (1980)
1. The Life of Brian (1979)
Original list is on the Channel 9 web site.
This is a very subjective topic and I do have some comments:
- I’d rate Flying High as #1 and move Spinal Tap higher up
- Would add Dr Strangelove in to the list
- I’d remove Groundhog Day (I have seen it)
- Haven’t seen Dumb & Dumber, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and The Party, so can’t comment.
I don’t like ‘slapstick’ or ‘physical comedy’ that much, so I did try and watch The Party but I gave up. I’m told it is very funny, so I should give it another shot.
My theory on the above list is that some of the surprise choices are in fact ones that Channel 9 has the rights for…and will probably be showing (again) real soon.
