Reading these lists, one thing I find interesting is that you can look at someone else's list and see where they picked one or two of the same movies as your list, but then they have other movies that you find repulsive.

blazing saddles is AWESOME. but then, anything by mel brooks is just that. an amazing guy, very talented. if comedy is as hard as they say to pull off, than i would nominate him as the all-time best at putting together top notch movies.
adore blazing saddles, as well as history of the world part 1. high anxiety and young frankenstein (that's frahnkentsteen) are so good.

nothing, nothing in the world like a good comedy.

top movies...20 years ago i'd have said gone with the wind. no more. seems the original soap opera to me. the book is so much better. but i'm a book nut, not a movie nut.

godfather 1 is incredible.
godfather 2 is a masterpiece.
godfather 3 proves the bounce theory is valid.

no way i can put together a proper top 10 list, a waste for me to try, much like naming good t.v. shows. i don't really watch anymore.

I didn't see this yesterday. no actually i wasn't going to name any names, but since you asked....
no i don't find any of yours repulsive. some i haven't seen. i really like several on each of your lists. which is what i was getting to. the repulsive remark was too strong.
just interesting to see where there is agreement and where there is disagreement.
