The Heartbreak Kid.

I don't know. This barely qualifies as a comedy to me. So painful and uncomfortable. Still haven't finished it. I do love A New Leaf though.

It is a painful and uncomfortable comedy.  Kind of in the neighborhood of Curb Your Enthusiasm as well as Neil Simon's plays.  It made AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs list.  And I've read interviews with stand-up comedians citing it as one of their favorite comedies.  I understand where you're coming from, though.

Yay, Jedi isn't on the list. The second worst Star Wars film.

I've expanded the use of the quotes to the top 20 this year, I was going to do at least one quote for every film but frankly it takes forever to search for.

Me too.  The fact that I had it so high on my list will hopefully help.

#135 - Nice!  Pretty good for a film with zero votes last year.

I'm surprised it's so low considering how well it did the the knockout poll thing.

103.


One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975, Milos Forman)

One flew over the cuckoo's nest

Most voted for movie not to make the top 100, with a strong 14 votes.  Missed out by a single point.
