Well, I havent seen to many that truly stand out, but here it goes...

1. Spaceballs
2. Anchorman (By the way, the unrated added scenes are stupid.)
3. The National Lampoon Vacation Series
4. Lemony Snickets a Series of Unfortunate Events (A good comedy, let alone a movie.)
5. Bruce Almighty
6. The Emperor's New Groove
7. The Mask
8. Young Frankenstein (Wait, I'm sorry, It's Frahn-Ken-Steen)
9. The Haunted Mansion

[Escapay]

I like odd numbers! Here's my list, mainly from my DVDs, with 1 being best and 9 being best but not as best as 1:

1. It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
2. Clue
3. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
4. Big Business
5. Galaxy Quest
6. Spaceballs
7. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
8. Dogma
9. Romancing the Stone (though that would also fall under action. and drama.)

And honorable mention goes to the very quotable First Wives Club. I always had a chance to get the DVD for $8.83 at Sam's Club, but I never did, and then they took it off the shelves, the bastards.

Add singin in the rain to my list

[Mr. Toad]

Zombi - the movie where he was a college football player who ended up in the dead end job was the same movie. As i recall he was a bench player who scored the winning touchdown in a big game. As a result a booster gave him a job as a reward. Long after that someone discovered he was not very good at his job and fired him.

[Zombi6422]

No, actually the Freshman is very much like the Waterboy that Adam Sandler was in. So much so that the Harold Lloyd Trust sued Walt Disney for more or less copying the story. They cited like 60 some similarities, but they ended up throwing out the court case. The Freshman is about Harold who starts out at college and he is a loser. Everyone makes fun of him and then he decides that if he could make the football team, people will surely like him. The coach sees that he has good spirit but he is no good. So the coach lies to him and says he made the team when he is actually just brought on as the waterboy. Then at the big game, several players get injured and the referee says they will have to forfeit unless they find another player. So reluctantly they let Harold into the game and he ends up doing really well and then the other players and students like him. The End.

[2099net]

I don't do orders. I can never decide. But here goes:

The Brady Bunch Movie/A Very Brady Sequel (I prefer the sequel)
Stuart Saves His Family (although this is more of a "Dromedy", with lots of depth)
Ghostbusters/Ghostbusters II (I prefer the sequel)
Gremlins II (I so prefer the sequel to the original)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Best Python Movie)
Freddy Got Fingered (Yes, I do like this film, mainly for it's audacity)
South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut (Satire with a point)
Duck Soup (Groucho Marx is a timeless comedian)
The Man With Two Brains (Martin as his very best!)

Bonus not even considered for a microsecond film
Shrek/Shrek 2 (Shrek or Dreck?)
