    Going with five in this one: The Heat (one of the funniest recent comedies), Arsenic and Old Lace, The Birdcage (probably my favorite Robin Williams movie), Home Alone, and The Philadelphia Story.

    Only my one vote so far for Lost In America, Really? The trailer is hilarious and the film is ten times funnier.

    I think I would actually like Lost In America but I’ve just never gotten around to watching it. I figured it would get more votes.
    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?

    And just my only vote for The Heat, really? That's a huge surprise. I hope it picks a bunch during the week.

    This group is stacked. The Heat is one of the better comedies of recent memory and it's one of the better buddy cop comedies, but I'm not surprised it's doing poorly. It's a recent film and there are a ton of established films in this group.

    This group is actually the first one where I've been able to vote for more than 1 or 2 films.

    She's good in small parts like Bridemaids or Hangover 3 or toned down like In Mike and Molly. However, she is just too much when she is featured. Identity Theft was only OK and Tammy was one of the worst movies I have seen.

    She hosted SNL and it was one of the funniest episodes in a long time. I haven't seen every one of those movies to judge if it gets to be too much, but I know she has talent.

    The Birdcage with just three votes is outrageous.

    McCarthy is very good and understated in St. Vincent with Bill Murray.

    I thought her and Sandra Bullock were super funny in The Heat. I loved it.

    I saw Mallrats when I was about 15 with my parents. At the time I had no idea who Kevin Smith was and had never seen Clerks. If I had I probably wouldn’t have chosen that movie. Or at least gone with my friends instead.

    It was a little awkward but they were cool about it.

    There's still time but I can't believe The Birdcage is facing elimination already at the outset. I was sure it was universally beloved and would go far here...

    Voted: Ghostbusters.

    Meant to vote The Birdcage and didn't, if someone can add that vote that would be great.
