The Great Comedy Playoffs!!

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.
