Why is Major League in the lead?
because
WIIIIIIIILD THAAAAAAAAAAANG
YOU MAKE MY HEART S(AAAAAAAAAA)NG
I know, right? I've always meant to watch it. I like Reiner as a director, and I can quote many of the famous lines from it. It's from a genre I really really like, so there's no excuse other than "haven't gotten around to it."Originally Posted by T-Dogz_AK47
WTF!? I find that.... Incomprehensible!!!!I've actually never seen This Is Spinal Tap!
I suspect it will make it through, and perhaps I will have a chance to watch it before the next votes are due.
As for Major League, I'm a huge baseball fan and this one tickles my funny bone more than most. A 5-star comedy to be sure. I can see how a person who doesn't like or follow baseball might not pick up on some of the little things, but there should be enough gags and funny situations to produce a few laughs.
I watched Withnail and I last year after DoctorDodge just wouldn't shut up about it.I did find it funny, and it got a vote from me!
"NOW HEAR THIS" PLEASE WATCH.....
BEFORE YOU VOTE.
Directed by John Ford, Mervyn Leroy & Joshua Logan.
Oh yeah, I'm not disputing the greatness of Spinal Tap in terms of quotability. It's definitely a classic. It's one of the only films that's up there with W&I for us Essex folk.
But just to remind ya of how fantastic Withnail & I is:
"You got soup? Why didn't I get any soup?" "Coffee."
"We want the finest wines available to humanity! We want them here, and we want them now!"
"I fuck arses? Who fucks arses?...Maybe he fucks arses!"
And my personal favourite:
"Jesus Christ! Why have you drugged their onions?!"
Stonehenge is fucking legendary! "I don't see this as a big problem." "No, no, if it were a big problem, we wouldn't be having this conversation!"Also, the entire Stonehenge bit is just too much.
"I think the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage in danger of being crushed by a dwarf."
Vote for the 2 greatest quotable films of all-time, guys. Vote for Spinal Tap and Withnail & I.

Absolute cult classics, both.
See No Evil, Hear No Evil is a litttle more sanitized than Stir Crazy ten years earlier. I guess one might argue that it's more evolved. I'm not sure I like it better, though.
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?
It really should be SNEHNE, absolutely hysterical:
Glad to see Spinal Tap gaining steam, but it should be first dammit!
Not sure I see anything at all (funny or otherwise) in that Major League clip
Well, of course!! You're from, New Jersey!!! The only funny things are across the river. You should know that. Why are there so many bridges in, Jersey? Because of all the Trolls!!! LOLNot sure I see anything at all (funny or otherwise) in that Major League clip
28 in 23 (?)!!!!

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Right, cause those hacks Wilder and Pryor don't hold a candle to the comic genius of Mr. Sheen.
I like Major League, but it's not hilarious.

I was just posting it for the line he says.Not sure I see anything at all (funny or otherwise) in that Major League clip
Honestly, Bob Uecker is probably the funniest guy in the movie.
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?
It may be amusing but it's nowhere near the best among this group.
It is for me. The only other one I voted for in this group was See No Evil, Hear No Evil. I know of This is Spinal Tap and The Royal Tenenbaums but have never watched them.
The others I’ve never even heard of. That doesn't bode well for them because so far, out of the 53 movies in this tourney that I’ve never heard of, only 4 have moved on

Time to get on that Netflix, On-Demand, or what have you
Well isn't that something?
This is an excellent group. Some are just great films, some will definitely just make you laugh. Do try to watch more.
I agree it certainly is something. I take it to mean that my taste in comedic movies lines up pretty well with a greater number of people here than I previously thought. I think there is a vocal minority that was skewing that perception. Of the 75 or so that I’ve actually seen and enjoyed, only 6 have been eliminated so far and most of the rest look like they will move on as well.Well isn't that something?
This is an excellent group. Some are just great films, some will definitely just make you laugh. Do try to watch more.
There are a handful of movies in here that I want to see eventually but only one or two that I’d never heard of. Most of the rest I doubt I’ll ever get to.

Only 5 votes for Withnail & I? We definitely need more, guys.
I must have some votes...I demand to have some votes!!!

We again have a three-way tie for last place between The Music Box, Withnail and I, and Brazil so I really hope we can break it and avoid the need for a tiebreaker.
This is closing on Monday morning, so we need to break that tie. Need more votes!
No help here. I haven't voted yet, but The Music Box, Withnail and I, and Brazil are all among the ones that I must check or else feel bad about myself.
Perhaps that quality is just why they are tied for last place.
