I missed seeing "What's Up Doc?" on your list.

I am SO happy you had "His Girl Friday" in the list. I think it is one of the funniest movies ever - and I'm under 40! However, since it is so old, most people don't even know of it's existence.

You can't eat popcorn while watching this movie because you might miss some of the absolute brilliant dialogue (note: Cary Grant's real name is "Archibald Leach" which is a joke at the restaurant). While the movie is comical, the subject matter is riveting as you watch it unfold.

I applaud N&O for doing such a comprehensive list. Many were other favorites that I had forgotten and will now NetFlix.

Of course, some people will be upset that you didn't include their favorites ("Foul Play," "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," or as written earlier, "What's Up Doc?"), but you have down the most favored ones, the ones most people snort out loud with, the ones that keep playing and playing (and playing) on TNT.

Kudos to you, N&O!

Blaring omission from the Classic bracket:
A Shot in the Dark or other from the Pink Panther Series!

Buster Keaton's "The General" is one of the funniest and most poignant silent features with terrific physical and ironic humor.

While it had to be difficult finding a spot for the movies that made the list, you can't help but look at the number of classics that you left off.

Young Frankentstein deserves a spot on this list for sure. How can you leave off Stripes?? Or even Trading Places??

These movies deserve a spot in the final 64.

You're talking about comedy movies, right? Well, you forgot to include my favorite of all time. "PORKY'S" that is!

Saying that two of the laugh-out-loud funniest movies of all time can't both be on the same list just because they were directed by the same person is like saying that Duke cannot play in the NCAA tournament because they are from the same conference and locale as UNC. Leaving "Young Frankenstein" off a list and including "Showgirls" or "Arthur" or "Wayne's World" is just plain ridiculous...especially since YF might well have won the entire tournament. (I know it would have in my bracket...)

where's 'The Full Monty" ?

where's Blake Edwards ?

Where's Chaplin ?

"Bull Durham" ? seeded number 2 ? an overated hometown pick if there ever was one !!

do you guys even watch the movies ?

I was ready to skip through everything to crown "Tommy Boy" as the funniest movie EVER! I went over all the lists two times before I would admit that it wasn't there!! Holy Cow!! Or should I say, "Holy Snikies!"
