In Reply to: Get ready to dook it out: THE TOP 10 FUNNIEST SCREENPLAY posted by Billy Wonka on November 13, 2015 at 17:11:01:
end up as the funniest movies:
The Big Lebowski
My Favorite Year
Pee Wee's Big Adventure
It Happened One Night
Shakes the Clown
Airplane
Duck Soup
There's Something About Mary
This is Spinal Tap
The Birdcage
It's a Mad, Mad, Etc.
Midnight Run
Shaun of The Dead
The Producers
Napoleon Dynamite
Trading Places
Arsenic and Old Lace
Bad Santa
Death to Smoochy
Throw Mama From The Train
All those are MUCH funnier than "Annie Hall", hell, so are Everything You Always
Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) and Sleeper.
Even something as plebeian as Mrs. Doubtfire is more funny!
Better scripts though? not on a "technical" level I suppose.
Allen will always have that NY Intellectual thing at his back, he'll always get
bonus points for that, no matter how many shitty films he manages to pump out.
Reminds me on the Amp debates in Critic's and the Amp asylum.
Measurements versus reality (listening).
Reading versus watching.
Dying is Easy. Comedy is Hard!
At the end of the day it's just another list and there
will be a shitload of them between now and the end of the year.
