Not a bad selection here, Space Balls, Wayne's World 2 and Hot Fuzz get my vote.

**mae** · 03-09-2015 07:06 AM

Four again: Spaceballs, Clerks, Police Academy 2, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

**divemaster** · 03-09-2015 07:09 AM

Four for me as well:

Spaceballs
Clerks
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Beverly Hills Cop

The last one was iffy, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt.

Some very tough choices for me here. KingPin, Spaceballs, Police Academy and Tommy Boy are easy picks.

Never seen Hot Fuzz. I don’t remember BH Cop or Fast Times all that well but I know they are pretty popular. Clerks is a cult classic that I thought was ok. Wedding Crashers was kinda meh.

Not sure how I feel about voting for Wayne’s World 2. It was ok but not nearly as funny as the original.

**fernandito** · 03-09-2015 08:36 AM

Spaceballs is deservedly in the lead.

Wayne's World 2 needs more votes!

**Iwritecode** · 03-09-2015 11:04 AM

How the hell did Wayne's World 2 get in but the original didn't?

**fernandito** · 03-09-2015 12:24 PM

No one nominated it, maybe?

**Mattrick** · 03-09-2015 12:31 PM

Kingpin, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Wedding Crashers

**RUBE** · 03-09-2015 04:35 PM

This was a tough group. No true greats but no truly bad movies either.

**Still Servant** · 03-09-2015 06:12 PM

This is the first group where I've seen every movie. Not only have I seen every movie, but I enjoyed them all.

I'm gonna' need a beat on this one.

Obviously. I’m just shocked that someone would nominate the 2nd one over the first one.

**fernandito** · 03-10-2015 07:37 AM

Love both, but the sequel is the superior comedy for me, which is why I nominated it.

**Iwritecode** · 03-10-2015 08:37 AM

I think it was one of those movies that didn’t logically “need” a sequel but since the first movie was so successful, they tried to capture lightning in a bottle twice.

The first movie stayed more true to the characters IMO. In the second one they are hugely successful and Garth even gets a girlfriend. The spoofs of the other movies they did were funny but shows they were really reaching for material. The naked Indian was just weird as well.

I liked it well enough but the first one was far better. My friend and I *still* do the head-bang part every time we hear Bohemian Rhapsody. We also pronounce the city in Wisconsin Me-lee-wauk-ah (which of course means “the good land”).

**Girlystevedave** · 03-10-2015 08:43 AM

There are a lot of good ones in this group.

I don't think either movie needed to be made, really. I can count on one hand the amount of times I watched SNL -don't think I saw a single skit starring them- so my enjoyment of the films aren't hindered by how true or untrue they were to the characters. All I know is that I found the second one to be funnier.

Wayne's World 2 and Tommy Boy being in the top six is silly...

I’d like to see Police Academy move up a little but other than that I’m good with the current standings in this group. Tommy Boy was Chris Farely’s best movie. I really miss him.

**pathoftheturtle** · 03-11-2015 10:33 AM

I will not vote for these:
Wedding Crashers
Tommy Boy
Wayne's World 2
Police Academy 2

I will vote for these:
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Clerks
Kingpin

And these are the ones that I still might not:
Spaceballs
Hot Fuzz
Beverly Hills Cop

Tommy Boy is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

Agreed.
I'm glad someone nominated it since I forgot to. Chris Farley and David Spade were hilarious together.

**mae** · 03-13-2015 04:56 AM

This is closing on Monday morning. Need more votes!

**mae** · 03-13-2015 09:31 AM

Too bad seeing Fast Times at Ridgemont High trailing in seventh. Maybe a few more votes will come its way.

**Heather19** · 03-13-2015 09:53 AM

Interesting that only 3 people that voted didn't pick Spaceballs.
