So, it's right after March Madness, and before the NBA playoffs. I'm really into the whole bracket thing, when it dawns upon me while talking movies with my co-workers. What is the greatest ever?
I asked people around me, on facebook, and on the street to name as many comedy's as they could. I did get a list of over 64 films, and now I have stacked them up against each other. I can't give the entire list right now as I am still working out the positions, but I can give the Number 1 seeds.
My bracket works somewhat like the NCAA's, but I have eight number 1's, instead of four. The number 1's in no order of importance are:
-Caddyshack, Animal House, The Big Lebowski, Young Frankenstein, Monty Python & the Search of the Holy Grail, Airplane, Blazing Saddles, The Blues Brothers
The tricky part of this list was picking the final 64. Popular opinion played a large role, but some had to be omitted due to various reason. One example was Good Morning Vietnam. A film that had me laughing my ass off, but the heart of the movie was a war-story that used humor. So there maybe some controversy as to the picks, but hopefully not the results.
Over the next few weeks I'll present a match up, and welcome opinions. If it becomes popular, then it may become a video series on our youtube channel.
