Quit That
Because I've been staring down the barrel of a big work deadline, with that black hole getting ever closer, I haven't been as good a citizen of blogland as I would like. I'll be back to my regular round of reading and commenting soon, I swear. I'd better be.
This same issue has made it hard to come up with blog fodder (have you noticed the dearth of knitting posts lately? yeah, me too), so again I turn to Ten on Tuesday, since today's is another easy one: ten favorite movie comedies.
Without further ado:
This same issue has made it hard to come up with blog fodder (have you noticed the dearth of knitting posts lately? yeah, me too), so again I turn to Ten on Tuesday, since today's is another easy one: ten favorite movie comedies.
Without further ado:
- King of Hearts The only movie I've seen in a theater more than five times.
- A Fish Called Wanda Don't call me stupid!
- The Birdcage/La Cage Aux Folles When I saw The Birdcage I was eight months pregnant with Miss B. Thought there would be a blessed event right there in the theater, I was laughing so hard.
- There's Something About Mary Raunchy, tasteless and... funny. I even forgive it the one horribly sexist scene where, if I'd been Mary, I'd have said, "Show me where it says I have to pick one of you. Out, you pack of losers, everybody out!"
- The Producers I'm hysterical and wet!
- The Truth About Cats and Dogs As Roger Ebert said, you can't help laughing at a dog on roller skates.
- Tootsie Not the first and by no means the last of many great movies starring serious well-known actors in drag.
- While You Were Sleeping Great stars. Also great supporting characters. (Who told?)
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail Couldn't I have just a little peril?
- The Princess Bride For my next birthday I want a ROUS.

Ha! Your #1 is my #1! Hands down favorite of all time, and like you, the only movie I have seen a lot in the theater. I also have seen and like about half of the rest... I am a sucker for some of the Arnold movies, the Terminator types (not Predator, way WAY too serious). Oh, and Star Trek, any generation, any show, any movie.

"Bringing up Baby" with Grant and Hepburn. She is so delightfuly daffy!
"The Apple War" A Swedishdelight about a witch and her pals preventing a German company from paving a lovely valley and building a "DeutchneyLand." One of her brothers keeps kissing frogs because, you never know, one MIGHT be an enchanted princess.

I do like Princess Bride, but I wish the RON(ormal)S would stay out of my house!

I love the King of Hearts too. Genevieve Bujold was soooo young and beautiful in that movie.
Young Frankenstein definitely - any Mel Brooks movie really.
And Spaceballs - I don't know why but that movie makes be laugh every time I watch it.
And Harold and Maude (not sure if that rates as a dark comedy or not)

Love your list, though there are a few I haven't seen. Holy Grail would definitely be near the top for me. Here are a few others:
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Sex but Were Afraid to Ask
Little Miss Sunshine
Thanks for posting - I love hearing everyone's favorites!
