[Gabe D]

So nobody has seen Noises Off? Not surprising, especially since it's not out on DVD. Check it out if you ever get the chance. It's easily one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

Here's my take on Jeff's list:

The Awful Truth - Great
Bananas - Great
Bringing Up Baby - Great
Duck Soup - Great
Harvey - Great
It Happened One Night - Great
The Lady Eve - Great
National Lampoon's Vacation - Great
The Philadelphia Story - Great
Roman Holiday - Great
Sabrina (1954) - Great
Snatch - Great
Some Like It Hot - Great
There's Something About Mary - Good, though not as funny the second time
The Thin Man - Great

That is some great list. Still, I'll vote for myself, assuming we're allowed to do that.

 

[Jeff Gross]

I will of course vote for myself if we're allowed to, too.

Hmm. Tough choice. George, I guess.

 

[Brian Kissinger]

So nobody has seen Noises Off?

I've seen it, dude. I happen to quite enjoy it. Although I do hear the actual play is much better, but I've never seen that. But, the movie does indeed make me laugh much.


As far as this current round goes, both lists have a few I haven't seen, but I do enjoy all the movies I have seen on both lists. But, in the end, I'll vote for Steve. While George has Stranglove (which I like more than any of Steve's) I like the rest of Steve's better than the ones from George.
