    Just three for me, but three great ones that must go far: The Ref, Election, and The Trouble with Harry.

    Need votes for The Ref and Election. Couldn't find a trailer for The Ref so that terrible-looking TV spot was all I could manage but I'm sure we've all seen The Ref, hystrical performance by Denis Leary and Kevin Spacey being that cool Kevin Spacey. As well, Election is pure genius and one of the best films of the '90s.

    Only voting for two, Nutty Professor and Christmas Vacation. If you don't think Christmas Vacation is absolutely hilarious then I don't think I could watch movies with you.

    I loved The Ref and Election. Two great films. And, yeah, Christmas Vacation. Although I'm scared to watch it again as I might not find it as funny as I did when I was in college.

    Yay! I can officially vote for Clue!

    As for Christmas Vacation, am I the only one that mumbles, "It's good, it's good, it's good" when sipping Eggnog around Christmas?

    I got tired of it. (Christmas Vacation.) It's not as strong as the first one.

    A great breakdown of Gremlins 2 (contains spoilers).

    I just vaguely remember Gremlins 2. I don’t think I’ve seen it since I was a kid. Seems like one of those movies that didn’t logically need a sequel but the movie studios wanted to cash in and then they ended up with something that wasn’t nearly as good as the original.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    The whole story is laid out in the video above. The films are completely different. G2 is a parody of the first film and a total blast.

    The Ref is sixth, yes! Hopefully both it and Election can make it, as well as The Trouble With Harry

    Election with only three votes is mind-blowing. It's one of the funniest movies of the entire 1990s:

    Need more Election votes, lest Gremlins 2 gets in over that great film!

    I'm shocked at how poorly some of the more recent comedies are doing in this tournament. I'm not sure if it's because they are newer and haven't paid their dues, or people just haven't seen them. Then again, maybe people just don't like them. I find it hard to believe that everybody dislikes most of the new comedies. I Love You, Man should have more than 2 votes. It's one of the better comedies of recent years.

    How does Election and I Love You, Man have so few votes? Election is fantastic and I Love You Man is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen...both have great performances and have great satirical humour. Alexander Payne, I will weep for you :'(


    Voted: Election, I Love You, Man and The Ref.

    Let's at least pull Election into a tie for sixth! I'm sure it can take out Gremlins 2 (ugh) in a tiebreaker:
