    I'm impressed with how many got listed that I didn't think of.

    A lot of people listed stuff that AFI lists as comedies, but I don't think they are pure comedies like big. Half of the movie is just not funny and not meant to be funny. It was a performance art by Tom Hanks, that's it. Castaway had funny parts, but it's definitely no comedy.

    Good call on The Gods Must Be Crazy, but don't forget number II.

    Great quotes, across110thstreet and Heretic. Anyone who's never seen this flick has my envy. It'll blow you away and you'll have a hard time not croaking with laughter. IMHO! :)
