    Big Lebowski has to be on my list. I like your sense of humor, Heretic.

    I can't believe I forgot the Big Lebowski. That movie is one of the best comedies of all time. Every character in that movie is hilarious.

    "Hey isn't Lebowski supposed to be a millionaire? This guy doesn't look like a millionaire."

    "He looks like a f**king loser."

    I cannot believe you put Caddyshack 2 on a "Best Comedy Movie" list. That goes down with Highlander 2 as one of the worst sequels ever made.

    Raising AZ
    Happy Gilmore
    Blues Bros
    Trading Places
    Stripes
    Caddyshack
    Animal House
    Evil Dead 2
    Clerks (how can Clerks be so funny and the final movie be such a pile of crap)

    Am I the only one that didn't like "Swingers"?

    I rented it and watched it for the first time last week, only because Bill Simmons references it nearly every week!

    I got annoyed by Trent and his use of the word "money" over and over again.

    I don't think I laughed once. The only part I found mildly amusing was the video game scene... only because I remember playing that game.

    I agree with the Fltch, Caddy Shack, Stripes and many others that are listed.

    To go in a bit of a different direction, I went to the opening and laughed my ass off of so I would have to say Misery

    I did my initial list without reading everyone else's and tried to mention the ones that I figured most of you guys hadn't said. Vacation and Airplane were gimmes. I can't believe that no one has mentioned Naked Gun (OJ withdrawl I suppose). But how did I leave off sooooo many classics.

    Dumb and Dumber
    Fletch
    Happy Gilmore
    Tommy Boy
    Kingpin
    Ace Ventura
    Caddyshack

    And can somebody please tell me the name of the movie in which John Candy takes his family camping in the woods. Dan Ackroyd plays his obnoxious brother in law that pops up with his family. Eating the steak fat. Shooting the bear in the ass. I can't believe that I can't think of the name of this. Please help.

    Also, What About Bob
