A.F.I., Bravo T.V. And Reader’s Digests Funniest Movie Lists

A couple of years ago, you saw a list that the American Film Institute made of the top 100 funniest movies of all time. Chances are, there were movies on the list that had you scratching your head. Even more likely, you had questions about where your favorite funny movies were posted. Apparently you weren’t alone. When the A.F.I. The list went up, and Reader’s Digest and Bravo TV compiled their lists. However, I wondered more than before who makes these books.

A.F.I What web site says that it’s list was voted by 1800 A.F.I. members I don’t know what the criteria for becoming a member of this organization is, but I guess you have to be something Old movies to join because of the newer movies which they have been listing since 1998. The reader’s digest site does not say who makes up the list and their order, but the listing is not in chronological order. the order they think is the funniest movies. It almost seems that it was necessary to leave out of all the movies of the decade that had media, some real gems and it appears that it was not a good decade for comedy in the 1970s. is to find the most recent records for the year 1925 in the list. Bravo TV doesn’t even have a link to their website. Based on the fact that there are no movies on their list dated before 1960 and from their readings, I would say that the Bravo panel is made up of people who are almost all in their twenties and thirties.

So what is the most accurate list? Perusing the list, it quickly becomes clear that “funny” is the biggest part of the opinion and whether or not the movie should be classified as funny. Bravo’s list is almost entirely made up of movies that have been made and marketed as comedies. They list very few “dark” comedies, although Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Worry and Love the Bomb,appears in three panels. The Reader’s Digest list includes more films that had elements of comedies, although not necessarily intended strictly as comedies, such as Shakespeare In Love and Singin’ In The Rain.

Twenty-four films appeared in all three tables, which is perhaps a good indication that they are true comedy classics and are films that everyone should see. These movies are (in no particular order): The Money Series, Tootsie, Lost in America, Ghostbusters, City Slickers, The Nutty Professor, Cast News, This Marrow Tap, Private Benjamin, Dr. Strangelove, American Graffiti, 9 to 5, Harold and Matilda, Vietnam, Beetlejuice, Groundhog Day, Annie Hall, Pisces Wanda, Big , M*A*S*H, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Producers (1968), Airplane and There’s Something About Mary. You’re probably asking this and you’re already saying “Huh? What about Young Frankenstein, Bananas, and Burning Hot Wheels b>?-info.vn/tag/car-wash”>Car Wash and Bingo Long Journey All-Stars and Motor Kings were funnier movies. Yes – I probably just had the same reaction to them on every list as you. Fifty-two films appeared on both the A.F.I. and Reader of Digests; ‘t appeared in the list of A.F.I.

Cary Grant and Woody Allen are two of the big winners in the A.F.I. and Reader’s Digest lists, but Bravo completely ignored Grant and only one of Allen’s films, Bananas, made the Bravo list. Only Bravo included series (the series Police Academy came in 59 and the series Naked Gun came in 13).

By comparing the order of the list, the total sum of the ten films was composed (because the list of digests of the Reader did not move the films, I gave one point for each list, it seemed to give some weight). And the winners are: #10 Arthur, #9 Dr Strangelove, #8 Wanda the Fish, #7 Animal House< /b>, #6 Annie Hall, #5 There’s Something About Mary, #4 M*A*S*H, #3 < b>Producing, #2 Airplane, and – -drumroll, please – entering #1 Burning Sharks.

I recommend you take these pictures with you the next time you head over to your spontaneously located. Before you read, however, split the back of the bag. If you’re a big fan of Spencer Tracy’s comedies, you don’t have to worry too much about the crude humor in Southpark: Bigger, Longer & Uncut or Team America: World Watch. On the other hand, if you are a fan of Ace Ventura, Pet Detective and The Aristocrats, you will find TheThin Man or Harvey will stay a little to your studies. On the other hand (wait, isn’t that three-handed???), try something new – you might just find different tastes than you thought. Get ready to laugh and don’t forget the popcorn!
