toldailytopic: What are the best comedy movies of all time?

[Lighthouse]

Forgive me for ranting for a moment. :chuckle:

Saw it on AMC did you?
Did you have to endure a commercial every 6 minutes? or 7?
(When channel surfing, we make bets as to whether a commercial will be on AMC)
And every PG & R movie they show is sliced and diced to the point of non-recognition.
And, as a final nail in their over-rated coffin, they now have info-mercials for 2-3 hours every early morning.
Turner Classic Movies is light-years better!!! NO commercials, now in HD as well.
One last rant. AMC acts like they're so ''with it''
Ex: "This Friday, the Rocky film collection will be shown round the clock. AMC, where commerc---oops, we mean story matters."
Not to mention the other endless re-runs of the same movies, month after month.
I'm done. I feel better now.:hammer:

Their shows are supreme, though. Don't you agree?

mmmm.....NO!
If I went home this evening and AMC was no longer on the air, I'd probably pop a bottle of bubbly and celebrate, then go watch "Dodsworth'', "Lost Weekend'', or "Detective Story'' on super-TCM!!!

Those movies did rock.

At the point where they can no longer get a scare, they can get a laugh! Extend the life of the product, it is almost an environmentally sound policy.

Has anyone mentioned "CaddyShack" yet?
I haven't touched a Baby Ruth candy bar since I saw that movie! :rotfl:

No, but they riff on it in one of the movies that I named! All time classic, for sure.
