Mikey's Favorties: Comedies

One thing that I have always been a sucker for is top ten lists. Well, really, I like top five, top twenty, basically any kind of list where people give their opinions on different things. It lets me know how my tastes stack up to others across the world and they're just fun. So I catch myself all the time saying things like "That's one of my top ten this, that's one of my top ten that." So I decided I would start listing my top tens. I'm going to start with movie genres. Today I will start with comedies. I am a sucker for all types of comedies; silly ones, romantic ones, dry humor, etc. Plus who doesn't like to laugh?

10) American Pie <1999>
9) Revenge of the Nerds <1983>
8) Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery <1997>
7) Team America: World Police <2004>
6) Blazing Saddles <1974>
5) Dumb and Dumber <1994>
4) Borat <2006>
3) South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut <1999>
2) Big <1988>
1) Ace Ventura: Pet Detective <1994>

Honorable Mention: Meet the Parents, The Jerk, Beverly Hills Cop, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Jackass

I like to laugh, you know that, but for some reason most comedy movies I think are stupid. I don't know what's up with that. So here's my top five.
1. Without a Clue
2. The Pink Panther (1960's)
3. Ghostbusters
4. Sister Act
5. Parenthood

Personally, I hate "dumb" comedies, like Team America or comedies that focus too much on the crude humor, like American Pie --that just takes away all the funny for me. I hate South Park but I agree with the good writing part. Trey and Matt know what they are doing. I don't get why people love Austin Powers, it's just not funny to me. Never seen Borat.
BUT, you are awesome because you are the only other person I know besides me that Ace Ventura would rank that high on the list. I LOVE Ace Ventura. Omg it makes me laugh at every single thing every single time. Big is one of my favorite movies of all time, Blazing Saddles is just GENIUS to me, I love it. and Nerds will always be a great classic.

I've seen ONE of your top ten. ONE. It seems there's something wrong with that...
