RANK AND FILE

A few months ago Bravo put out their list of The One Hundred Funniest Movies. Now, no one is claiming that Bravo is a font of wisdom, but the list was really bad. Take the Top 10 Movies as your example.

10. Arthur
9. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
8. Blazing Saddles
7. The Wedding Singer
6. Airplane
5. South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
4. There's Something About Mary
3. Shrek
2. Caddyshack
1. Animal House

Where to start, where to start, where to start? How about the fact that There's Something About Mary is a pile of garbage that kick started the whole "Isn't it funny when bad things happen to Ben Stiller? Wait, here comes something else bad!" genre of films. Yet, according to Bravo, it's the 4th funniest comedy. Funnier than Dumb and Dumber, funnier than Duck Soup, funnier than Airplane. That's right, funnier than "'Surely you can't be serious.' 'I am, and don't call me Shirley.'" Airplane.

Even worse than that is Shrek at number three. Shrek is a fine cartoon, and ha-ha, they're in fairy tale land, but if Micheal Meyers saying "Donkey" in a Scottish accent is all it takes to get the number three slot, of All Time, then where, may I ask, is So I Married An Axe Murderer?

I shouldn't even have to explain how wrong Wedding Singer being in the Top 10 is.

So my friends and I created our own list. Our qualifications? We know what's funny and we know more about movies than you do. And apparently more than the people working at Bravo. So without further ado, here are The 10 Funniest Comedies of All Time.

10. Airplane
9. O' Brother, Where Art Thou?
8. A Christmas Story
7. Duck Soup
6. Annie Hall
5. A Fish Called Wanda
4. Caddyshack
3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
2. The Three Amigos
1. The Big Lebowski
