    IGN's Top 25 Greatest Comedies of All Time....

    I read it and I can name a few that are straight missing off of the list. I think they should have added a few. There are a lot of movies I haven't seen on that list. There are some good ones but I can already see that there are a few that are beat quickly. Personally, I'm a fan of Coming To America which didn't even get a nod. Beverly Hills Cop is nice but not Coming To America. What do you think?

    I actually voted "who really cares", but not because I DON'T care. I think lists like this are fun to read, but people get SO worked up about them when all they are is a matter of opinion. There are plenty of comedies that I think should be on there that aren't, and plenty on there that I would take off, but that's only because each of our tastes differ so greatly.

    You could ask 100 people in this forum to make a top 25 comedy list, and every person would have a different list... AND there would be more than a handful of others who would either agree, slightly agree, disagree, or be up in arms about how much of a "fail" that list is.

      Coming to America should have gotten on there based on the Soul Glo theme song alone.

        Same here, I like to read these lists also. And I actually like if they're not spot on, because normally it'll give me a new show or movie that I haven't heard of before and I'll find it and go watch it. Even if it's not great, I find some value in it. I know what my favorite shows are, and so I don't really care if some guy in San Fran loves the same shows in the same order as me.

          Shaun of the Dead getting some love!

          I dunno about Ghostbusters at #1...


          OS should put together movie brackets for each genre to see the overall favorites here.

            No Super Trooper's, Old School, Zoolander or Napoleon Dynamite but, Beverly Hills Cop and Ground Hog Day make the list. Fail.

            Also National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation was better than the first Vacation movie, IMHO.

              I think Clerks was the crazy omission.

                This list is crap. How in the hell is Ghostbusters number 1.

                  Yeah they left some really good one's off of there and somehow Ground Hog Day ends up.

                      Like I said, it's all opinion. And personally, I'd still have GHD on there... GREAT movie.

                        I like it also, but I can think of 25 comedies better then it.
