60, with a few more I think I've seen but not in 20 years.  I'm not the biggest comedy guy. (However, I question the utility of a greatest comedies list that has no Ernst Lubitsch or Harold Lloyd. Unless I missed them?)

It's not a critics' list, but one made by popular voting. There's plenty of low and medium brow films in there. Can't say about Lubitsch and Lloyd, but there's plenty of Wilder and I think some Keaton on it.

Some of the earlier Pink Panthers can be a little draggy.

Says the guy who didn't realize Brazil was a comedy  :P

No Adam's Apples on the list. :(

:blink: I can't believe there are people who have not yet seen Spinal Tap.

It hasn't been shown in tv, here, in years. If you are under 20, how could you have?

I've seen 3 movies of the top 10. People really over value Monty Python.

I watched Spinal Tap one day that I found it randomly on tv, and haven't seen it again ever since. I guess it's not very well known outside the English speaking world.

I watched like the first half hour of Spinal Tap. Far enough to get to the "This goes to 11" scene, which was very disappointing given the Internet buildup.

You have to watch the whole thing Wegro.  This is not negotiable.

I know Hailey on Modern Family is supposed to be the pretty one, but her huge eyes kinda freak me out.

The Rock in talks to headline a Big Trouble In Little China remake. Is this good or bad news? I like him.

Both the remake and The Rock are bad ideas.

Not as good as a Tooth Fairy sequel would be.

"The Greg Gutfeld Show". Painful. Faux News really are complete and utter scum.
