6. SOUTH PARK: BIGGER LONGER & UNCUT (1999)
5. OFFICE SPACE (1999)
4. THIS IS SPINAL TAP (1984)
3. BEVERLY HILLS COP (1984)
2. NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION (1983)
1. GHOSTBUSTERS (1984)

Take out the following:

Clueless
40 Year Old Virgin (barely laughed)
Wedding Crashers (funny for 15 minutes)
South Park (was funny when it came out, but not really that funny anymore)

Some of these were funny at the time, but aren't quite as funny anymore:

There's Something about Mary (FRANKS AND BEANS!)
Austin Powers (I have to admit, I enjoyed it when I first saw it)

These movies need to be on the list:

The Royal Tennenbaums
Bottle Rocket
Rushmore
Raising Arizona
The Princess Bride
Revenge of the Nerds

My top five would be:

(1) The Big Lebowski
(2) Office Space
(3) Trading Places
(4) Rushmore
(5) The Royal Tennenbaums
couple of thouhgts:

1 after tonight you'll have to replace Trading Places. what goes in?
2 Harry Met sally is a comedy? Really?
3 All the mindless SNL drivel on there can stay, but doesn't clerks and napoleon need to be about it.
4 Fargo is funnier than about 10 of these. Of course the laughs are at the expense of minnesotians, but fuck them.
5 Ghostbuster and NLV are not funnier than TBL.
6 why won't you friend me?
