i think that Good morning vietnam should be way higher because its a start to all modern comedies the fact that romance element was well placed but i dont believe the fact that the radio wouldnt inform the troops that theyr numbers will increase but from the side of vietnam conflict its bad because it cuold escalade to a “full sized” war i am getting off track thats is just my thought (i am not from usa or uk so go easy on my bad grammar) (music was awesome too)

No Catch 22? Kelly’s Heroes? Operation Petticoat? Ok, so the list is subjective, but NO DUCK SOUP! Or THE GREAT DICTATOR?

Sorry, but unforgivable, my friend….

So “no” to Stripes huh?

Okay, I can respect that. But you lost me without 1942.

What about Catch 22? That should be tucked in right above M*A*S*H! Dear God, man, Tropic Thunder? As well, Charlie Wilson’s War is more about policy, and the power of well-placed lobbyists- even one man – to influence that policy. The war itself is an afterthought – more useful as an ironic admonishment and reminder of the We’ll See” parable at the end of the film. Also, what about The Mouse That Roared, and What Did You Do In The War, Daddy?

List is quite good, but I don’t know if you’ve seen Serbian movie “Lepa sela lepo gore” (Pretty Village Pretty Flame – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116860/). It’s one of the best. This is a strong recommendation!

Someone once described Good Morning Vietnam as 90 minutes of “Robin William telling jokes that clearly aren’t funny then cutting to actors laughing at them”, and they were right.

Drek like Life is Beautiful makes it and Kelly’s Heroes is nowhere to be seen? This list is horrible.

And I’ll say it because someone has to: M*A*S*H is a horrible movie loved only by Boomers, and Robert Altman is a horrible director and his overlapping dialog is a worn out gimmick that wasn’t even good to begin with.

Don’t think life is beautiful belongs on this list

I see your logic, that these movies are “balls to the wall” hardcore action/drama flicks like Saving Private Ryan. I can appreciate a well directed movie like Charlie Wilson and argue it is not a comedy without being a big smelly vagina (sounds like someone forgot to douche before the big game)

I like good movies, period. I don’t care about actors, directors, anything except a good freakin’ movie that made me glad I spent 2 hours of my life on and somehow grew as person and not became a waste of space because of it.
