I can see this is going to be impossible.  I think I can come up with half of the 25 just from the cast/writers of the original Saturday Night Live.  

 

Belushi - Animal House, Blues Brothers, (HM Neighbors)

Aykroyd - Ghost Busters, Trading Places, Blues Brothers

Murray - Groundhog Day, Stripes, Caddyshack

Chase - Caddyshack, Fletch, N.L. Vacation, ( HM Foul Play )

[baumer]

Yes High Fidelity and Bad Boys. Good additionsm

[SchumacherFTW]

This may take some time to think about. So much Smith, Parker & Stone to think about.

O my god I love foul play. And the scenes with Dudley Moore. Lol. There was another Goldie Hahn movie with Chevy chase that I loved. Very funny. Seems like old times.And damn it, I forgot pulp fiction. Getting very close to 100. Can't seem to go down the more the think. Edited February 28, 2014 by Lazer

Yes, please.

Hopefully I can get to this by Friday?If anyone wants to rank these for me, I would appreciate it, as they are clearly the 25 funniest movies ever made, and will be the only ones on the top 25 funniest movies ever list. If I am wrong, tell me which movies shouldn't be there, and I will consider replacing them with one of my 10 backups.

Since I don't have very many lists so far, are people still planning to work on these, or would it be fine to just remove the list factor and just enjoy this space as a discussion?
