Clocktower Movie = Safety Last
College Movie = The Freshman
Dead End Job Movie = Speedy...maybe?

Here's mine off the top of my head:

1. Dumb & Dumber

2. Meet The Parents

3. Lair Lair

4. Spaceballs

5. Joe Dirt

6. Half Baked (just say no)

7. Nothing To Loose

8. Happy Gilmore

9. Raising Arizona

That was tuff cuz there are sooooo many. Hard to think of um.

Add singin in the rain to my list

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.

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.

Here's my 9 in no particular order

The Princess Bride
Young Frankenstein
Toy Story
The Lady Eve
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Bringing Up Baby
The Philadelphia Story
Raising Arizona
Spaceballs

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?)
