Thank GOD Fight Club is not on your list. It's on almost every other list I've read's top ten. I put it in the same catagory of Flubber, so imagine what it would be like to see Flubber on someone's top 10 best movies of all time list and you catch a glimpse of how I feel /ubb/smile.gif

Also, kudos for respecting dumb comedies like Airplane! and Dumb and Dumber. I think movies like that are great, but they never get love from artsy critics.

Thank God? No Fight Club? One shouldn't be that happy.

Oh yea, that's a great list. You got most of the movies that everyone would have somewhere in their lists.

Fight Club just didn't live up to my expectations. Apparently they were too high, I expected it to be the next Clockwork Orange. I still like Fight Club a lot, but it's not one of my biggest favorites.

About Airplane! and Dumb and Dumber, yeah I think "dumb" comedies like that deserve recognition. The critics can say whatever they want, those movies are funny.

Thanks for the replies!
