This is a hard choice as I think they are all equal.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Well, these are getting harder now that we're in the third round. I'm going with Spaceballs and Raising Arizona.
Honestly, I want The Princess Bride to take it all

Only two here as well... Princess and Back to the Future. I am really surprised how much of that over the top silly comedy is making it through...

A NEW GAME BEGINS
Spaceballs
I'm having a hard time with this one. If this was a Greatest Movie of All Time tournament, I'd immediately go for Back to the Future and The Princess Bride. But, I don't really put them into Great Comedy category. Spaceballs is one of those movies I watch when I want to laugh. BTTF and Princess Bride are just all around great movies. I've really got to think on this one.
This is kind of a big deal.
I lost the beeps.
I lost the sweeps.
And I lost the creeps.
I'm not gonna live this way, Hi! It just ain't a family life!
Well, it ain't "Ozzie & Harriet."
That's not all he lost.
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 signal, sir! It appears to be... JAMMED.That's not all he lost.
Spaceballs is probably top 5 for me all time. So that was an easy choice. I debated between The Princess Bride and BTTF though. Went with BTTF.

Raspberry. There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry... Lone Star!The signal, sir! It appears to be... JAMMED.That's not all he lost.
*crash*

The one where Michael J Fox is trying to get banged by his mom, which would suck since Lea Thompson was very attractive back in '85.

And that is how you sum up Back to the Future?!
Now, this is a comedy.
Yeah, but aren't you the guy who has all time seen, like, 20 movies total?
Umm... no?Yeah, but aren't you the guy who has all time seen, like, 20 movies total?
In this tourney alone I've seen over half the nominations although there are a handful that I don't remember all that well.
There were 40 or so that I'd never heard of but they've all been eliminated already. The majority went out in the first round. So either I'm not alone among the people voting in never having seen them or they weren't that good.

Actually, Lea Thompson is still pretty attractive.

I think PB is one of the funniest movies of all time. I would definitely say it belongs - anybody want a peanut? Classic!I'm having a hard time with this one.

This is closing in two days, so get your votes in! Back to the Future and The Princess Bride are tied for second, and we could use more votes for Raising Arizona, to be honest.
Interesting to see two sci-fi movies in the lead.
The poll has closed. The following two titles are moving on to the next round:
- Spaceballs (1987) 52.17%
- Back to the Future (1985) 43.48%
And the following three titles have been eliminated:
- The Princess Bride (1987) 34.78%
- The Jerk (1979) 26.09%
- Raising Arizona (1987) 17.39%
Interesting that you would note that, since I remember a lengthy debate about whether or not BTTF was a Sci-fi or not in the sci-fi movie competition. Seems like it was deemed not a sci-fi movie in that debate, now in the comedy competition, it seems its not a comedy. I guess it is just a movie. Maybe we should have put it in the horror genre.
