Nice list and you picked the correct Monty Python movie.

Which begs the thread drift question, what are the best 10 comedies of all time  ?  Life of Brian is my favorite MP movie with The grail being a very close second. My favorite year would be in my top 10 list.

10 best or 10 funniest? I'm fine with this pivot - seems like we are running out of unique titles on the top 10s at this point. Some off the top of my head:

Anchorman

Old School

Airplane

Animal House

Caddyshack

Supertroopers

Superbad

Pineapple Express

Groundhog's Day

Young Frankenstein

Wedding Crashers

No Time For Sergeants 

Animal House

Life of brian

MP and the holy grail

My favorite Year

Raising Arizona

Young Frankenstein

Airplane

Caddy Shack

Blazing Saddles 

Dr. Strangelove

Philadelphia Story

that's 12, not in order really, and I love em all.

 

One of the funniest if not the funniest scenes in any comedy is still the Penis lineup in Porkys.

 Fight Club For me it starts and ends here and it's not even close. But i'll add 9 more

American Psycho

Gone With The Wind

Barefoot in the Park

Cool Hand Luke

Gangs of New York

The Sting

Ben-Hur (59)

Unforgiven

Casino

I tried picking movies that weren't listed over and over on here and yet i could sit and watch them any time they come on.

The Bucket List

The Longest Day or 30 Seconds over Tokyo...can't decide between those two

I thought you were listing comedies for a second and was very confused.

The Searchers keeps coming up. Another favorite of mine in that vein is 3 Godfathers. I didn't know until just a few weeks ago that the John Wayne/John Ford version wasn't the original. It was the 2nd remake of a 1916 silent film. The 1936 version with Chester Morris is pretty good.

Your current mood seems to be: Pissed off at the world and people need to die.

I can endorse 1,3 (except Part 3) 6, and 7 as all extremely solid choices.  2, and 8 as major big picks. I like the rest, but not as GOATS.

Cool topic.  Impossible to narrow down to 10 and greatest is so subjective.  I would say that these 10 had the greatest emotional (funny, scary, action, inspiring etc.) impact on me personally when I watched them:

Rocky

Godfathers

Star Wars

Jaws

Shawshank

Shining

Wedding Crashers

Caddyshack

Platoon

Goldfinger

Hoosiers

3.  The Godfather

4.  Annie Hall

5.  Casablanca

6.  Young Frankenstein

7.  Monty Python and The Holy Grail

8.  This is Spinal Tap

9.  In The Heat of the Night

10.  It Happened One Night
