Rules:
Rank your top 5 answers to the question in order from 1-5, with 1 being the highest rank.
Points will be awarded in this manner:
1 = 5 pts
2 = 4 pts
3 = 3 pts

5 = 1 pt
You can list more than 5 if you wish.
Any answers from 6-10 will be awarded 0.0 pts,

Corrections can be made to your list up until the time the question is deemed closed, please edit the original list rather than entering a new list.
All ties will be at the discretion of management.Equally as calm as ClownPickle ~(+/- 1)

Blazing Saddles
Animal House

The first three I liked. The other two are the only other ones I can think of I didn't hate. TheDurk is not a fan of comedy."Deep to left! Yastrzemski will not get it! It's a home run! A three-run homer by Bucky Dent! And the Yankees now lead by a score of 3-2!" - New York Yankees announcer Bill White (October 2, 1978)

I need to edit my list to include The Big Lebowski
It's interesting seeing Blazing Saddles and The Producers from Mel Brooks being mentioned. I always felt Young Frankenstein was his funniest offering.Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. ~ Dale Carnegie

Re: The JDPNYY Top 5 WD -- Question 16
It helped seeing it in Cinerama and having Buddy Hackett sitting in the row behind you. He laughed hysterically oops loudly at his every appearance and at nothing else. Apparently he went everyday to that theatre (the one next to The Plaza) to laugh at himself. I was eleven, I think. You would have been eight or nine. Maybe it was too mature for you.

Re: The JDPNYY Top 5 WD -- Question 16
I'll go with it sucked.
About the only thing I can thankfully recall from that movie was Jimmy Durante saying "it's under the Big W, see"... Dick Shawn calling "Mama I'm coming"... and Ethel Merman being her annoying self.
(I shudder thinking about what the off-spring of Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine would look like if they had reproduced during their short marriage)Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. ~ Dale Carnegie
