Can't believe As Good As It Gets isn't on there, and I remember being in stitches the first time I saw Midnight Run and Stir Crazy,,, in the cell when Gene Wilder starts chasing the fly, that's right I'm bad ,,absolute classic.

Damn, you're right, Stir Crazy was good.

Kung Pow had some insane moments, the kung-fu cow was hilarious, and the whining girlfriend - always reminded me of the Khmer TV voice-overs, same monotone, LOL

home alone 1 or 2? not there?

This list proves that such lists can't be done... It needs to be tip movies per decade. Several of those older movies aren't that funny imo. They are from a different time and can be appreciated, but don't have much gusto or haven't aged well.

Superbad I find absolutely brilliant, why is not on list?

Thanks, will check it out.

I suspect it's not on the list because it doesn't suit the Hollywood-influenced tastes of bitter old farts employed by the BBC

That's why I posted it, I want diversity and opinions.

Some of the shit on their top 100 I would never recommend to anyone.

Austin Powers (1+2+goldmember)
Ace Ventura

Movie 43? You must be one of three people on earth who liked that movie. Not even the people starring in it wanted to be in it. The Hangover was definitely not funny, and follow ups were diabolically bad. Also, was the Princess Bride supposed to be funny? I thought it was just a kid's movie.
