A few months ago I ran a "Best movies of the 21st century" poll and it was pretty successful, so I thought I'd do another.

This time, it's a roundup of our favourite comedies - or, more specifically, our favourite movies that make us laugh. That is to say, a film doesn't have to be considered a comedy in order for it to qualify for this list. If it makes you laugh, that's what matters. E.g. Indiana Jones may not be considered a comedy, but I think it's really funny. Hell, if you think Schindler's List is just the most hilarious thing, then feel free to put it on your list.

Rules:
- Any movies you want to rank on your list, can be on your list!
- Please list up to 50 films max. You can do fewer and that's fine.
- Please rank your list!
- Please submit lists to me via PM. You are obviously free to post what you like on this thread, I'm not a moderator, but it is a nicer surprise in the final list :)
- Deadline 21 September

Points system:
1 point for #50, incremental 1point increase for each next rank. #1 film on each list gets an additional 25 point bonus.


#1 - 75 points
#2 - 49 points
#3 - 48 points
#4 - 47 points

Good timing with this BTW. Watching a lot of comedies should make this September a lot brighter than it usually is. 

That was the idea. Box office is dead atm, forum is quieter, so I figured it'd be a good time to do another one of these. Plus it gives me (and others) a load of comedies to watch in a month that has plenty of dull films. :)
