Movie comedy draft - Page 7

larrymcg421 · 01-21-2015, 12:52 PM

7.10 Breakfast at Tiffany's, Romantic, 1960s

8.1 Slap Shot, Sports, 1970s

Chief Rum · 01-21-2015, 12:57 PM

8.2 Superbad, Teen, 2000-2007

This one launched the careers of many (or at least helped them along).

HomerSimpson98 · 01-21-2015, 01:07 PM

Wow, this is awesome. What a fantastic idea and y'all have brought up some fantastic blasts from the past. No idea how I forgot about Superbad. So awesome.

timmae · 01-21-2015, 01:47 PM

Slap shot was an awesome pick. I had it slated next... Damn you!

Chief Rum · 01-21-2015, 01:50 PM

Yeah, I would have liked to get Slap Shot, too, but I used my 1970s range and time range Wild Card already.

britrock88 · 01-21-2015, 02:04 PM

That was my other option for a Sports pick, but I love holding on to my wild cards...

cartman · 01-21-2015, 02:28 PM

8.3 The Hangover, Wild Card, 2008-Present

A great, laugh-a-minute movie. Really boosted the profiles of Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Ken Jeong.

NobodyHere · 01-21-2015, 02:37 PM

8.4 Monty Python's Meaning of Life, Wild Card, 1980-1984

I was going to burn down the internet if this movie wasn't picked. My personal favorite sports comedy.

Grover · 01-21-2015, 02:52 PM

I am 99.9% confident my remaining three picks will not be touched by anyone.

Feels good, man.

timmae · 01-21-2015, 04:32 PM

britrock88 · 01-21-2015, 05:23 PM

8.6 Tootsie, Wild Card, 1980-84

Man, that Dustin Hoffman. S/he had 4 suitors by the movie's climax!

Suicane75 · 01-21-2015, 05:51 PM

8.7 American Pie, Teenager, 1995-1999

I figured someone would find a way to nab this one by the end of the draft.

Grover · 01-21-2015, 06:24 PM

8.9 Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Teenage, 2008-Present

ColtCrazy · 01-21-2015, 06:39 PM

8.10 Nightmare Before Christmas, Horror, 1990-94

9.1 Mean Girls, Teen, 2000-2007

Grover · 01-21-2015, 06:40 PM

9.2 Stalag 17, War, Pre-1960s

Grover · 01-21-2015, 06:50 PM

I love Stalag 17 and can only hope some of the voters have seen it.

ColtCrazy · 01-21-2015, 07:04 PM

I have and it is a great movie.

I had thought about this one for a while, too. Solid choice.

It might be because I'm using Tapatalk, but I don't see a 9.1 pick from ColtCrazy

Tapatalk does not show second bold tags apparently. I had that problem earlier when I thought Ghostbusters was still available.

AENeuman · 01-21-2015, 07:47 PM

9.3 It Happened One Night, Rom-Com, pre-60's

The original rom-com. Show it to my students every year and it's always one of the favorites.

cartman · 01-21-2015, 07:50 PM

Good to know that about Tapatalk

Stalag was my all time fav for a very long time. Still use "I believe her" quote all the time

Suicane75 · 01-21-2015, 09:52 PM

9.4 Dead Alive, Horror, 1990-1994

britrock88 · 01-21-2015, 10:04 PM

9.5 O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Historical, 2000-07

Let's add a Coen brothers flick to the roster!

9.6 Bad News Bears, Sports, 1970's

timmae · 01-21-2015, 11:19 PM

I posted a romantic comedy first but switched to a sports movie within a few minutes as I realized my sports movie had not yet been picked. I wanted to be honest about the switch in case anyone takes issue. Let me know fellas...

Suicane75 · 01-22-2015, 12:14 AM

It's fine with me.

NobodyHere · 01-22-2015, 06:54 AM

cartman · 01-22-2015, 09:11 AM

9.8 The Graduate, Rom Com, 1960s

Edit: oops, I see this has already been picked. Disregard

cartman · 01-22-2015, 09:27 AM

9.8 Paint Your Wagon, Rom Com, 1960s

Partially a musical as well, which you wouldn't expect in a movie starring Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood. Set in California gold rush times, Marvin and Eastwood share a wife, as well as a plan to enrich themselves.

I have never seen this film, but I have seen the Simpsons lampoon it when Homer thought he was bringing home a classic Eastwood western lol. I have no idea how close the Simpsons' characterization is, but it is hilarious.

Chief Rum · 01-22-2015, 10:00 AM

9.9 The Philadelphia Story, Romantic, Pre-60s

It might have not been the first rom com, but it is often considered the best one.

Umbrella · 01-22-2015, 10:20 AM

Sorry guys, got buried at work. Trying to get the front page updated. You guys are flying along, and I can't speak for each pick, but that 8th round had some tremendous late value picks. Also, I think that round shows our ages. That would look more like the first or second round with a younger demographic.

larrymcg421 · 01-22-2015, 01:05 PM

9.10 Beverly Hills Cop, Wildcard, Wildcard

10.1 Bad Santa, Dark Comedy, 2000-07

Chief Rum · 01-22-2015, 01:11 PM

10.2 Forgetting Sarah Marshall, 2008-Present, Wildcard

IMO, a very underrated movie.

cartman · 01-22-2015, 01:17 PM

My final pick is one of the great all-time movies. It is the film that Charlie Chaplin himself hoped he was most remembered for. It tells the tale of the Little Tramp making his way to the gold mines of the Klondike in the late 1800s. Even if you've never seen the movie, you surely have seen the clip of the cabin teetering on the edge of a cliff. My pick to wrap up my draft is:

10.3 The Gold Rush, Historical, Before 1960

NobodyHere · 01-22-2015, 01:31 PM

10.4 Happy Gilmore, Sports, WildCard

Chief Rum · 01-22-2015, 02:28 PM

It had comedic elements, IMO, although, like Pulp Fiction, it was one I wouldn't think of first as a comedy.
