The Naked Gun is hilarious, but I had to go with Airplane.
There's Something About Mary.
Airplane is a classic classic, but TSAM is a modern classic and a very underrated comedy.
Bahhhh, might need some time to think about this.
Hmmmm...Airplane! or Naked Gun; Airplane or Naked Gun...
Airplane!
This is one of those films that I loved when I first saw it. Couldn't stop laughing, but then when I went to rewatch it a few years later, it just wasn't that funny to me. I guess cause I knew all the jokes? Idk, because there's plenty others that I can watch over and over and never get tired of.
I don't see how There's Something About Mary could possibly be underrated. Its made it far in this tournament, and it was one of the highest grossing comedies of the 90's.
Most people don't automatically think about it when thinking of classic comedies, I think. Recent classics, anyway.
I seriously just now realized how many movies Ben Stiller has been in that I either didn’t like or just haven’t had any interest in watching. Just off the top of my head:
Tropic Thunder
There’s Something About Mary
Meet the Fockers
Meet the Parents
Zoolander
Mystery Men
The Heartbreak Kid
Night at the Museum
The Royal Tenenbaums
Along Came Polly
Starsky & Hutch
It’s really weird because I’ve never had any conscious thought of not liking him. I enjoyed his role in Dodgeball and I want to see The Watch (it’s recorded on my DVR). I also remember watching him in the Ben Stiller show in the 90’s.
But for some reason all of the movies listed above just didn’t click with me for one reason or another.
I'm really surprised Airplane! is getting beat. I never realized so many people liked Mary so much.
I don't get the hype for Mary and cannot believe The Naked Gun is taking such a beating. I figured the two Leslie Nielsen movies would would split a lot of the votes.
I'm in agreement with the above posters.
TSAM was on TV last night, so I watched a little bit of it.
Still don't get the hype. Especially since it's going against two classic and hilarious comedies. :frown2:

I love There's Something About Mary because it's truly a dark comedy, but's made with such colourful, cheerful overtones, it does a good job of hiding how dark it is.
