Somewhat inspired by this list (and also being nearly delirious with fever and too fucking miserable to live), I revisited some classic comedies that I hadn't seen in many years this week. None made this list, but we watched Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Clue and The Three Amigos. All are still great fun, and I'd argue DRS especially deserved a place on this list. It really holds up.

[Edward J Grug III]

23. To Be or Not to Be

Made it too, unless you voted for the Mel Brooks version

[MartyS (Gromit)]

Seeing The Thin Man reminds me I've had the box set of all those movies for years and still haven't watched any of them.

Can't believe these haven't come to blu ray yet.

I like how you ranked MST3K the movie highest Linszoid. That's very decent of you, very decent indeed.

Like I said before, MST3k is pretty much the ultimate video comfort food for me. I've probably watched the movie a hundred times and I'll still laugh at it.

But I'm not an alien.

23. To Be or Not to Be

Ooh, thanks. Good for To Be or Not to Be, or something.

[Russoguru]

One last thing... even though I don't care for Spaceballs much anymore, there is ONE line in the movie that always gives me a big laugh, and that line is... "We ain't found SHIT!!!"
