Comedies!

Morticia · 07-24-2002, 03:41 PM

Here's where you get to choose as many fine Comedies as were nominated by the dvdfile.com forum community. The winner will be discussed in a future Film Class.

If "Back to the Future" is chosen, the discussion will take place AFTER the DVD street date, possibly as much as a month after, to ensure that everyone has the chance to pick up the film (whether rental or purchase).

Please note that I used imdb.com's classification to group these films, and...vote away!

Can't pass up the opportunity to discuss my #1 all-time favorite movies - Ghostbusters and Back to the Future.

**SilentBob** · 07-25-2002, 04:46 AM

The Royal Tenenbaums and Dogma

Nice choices, another great comedy that i hope comes to DVD soon is Brain Donors. Its only on VHS at the moment but one of my all time favs to watch.

You mean I'm not the only one who's seen Brain Donors? This is one of my all-time favorites, so I'm dying for it to be released on DVD (although, since it's a Paramount, there probably won't be anything whatsoever on it in the terms of extras

).

Perhaps we should have a catagory for romantic comedy....Jerry Maguire would fall under such a category. I mean, it's a comedy, but not primarily a comedy.....still, I hope we get to discuss one of my forever-and-a-day fav films ever! Yowzas....

The Man Who Wasn't There is a comedy? Sure it's funny at some points, but the film is not a comedy.

Morticia · 07-25-2002, 03:42 PM

Look, cut me some slack here. I used imdb.com's system. The Man Who Wasn't There is listed as comedy first. Go ahead and look it up, please.

Hey, if you don't think it's a comedy, then here's an idea... DON'T VOTE FOR IT...

Ok sorry

Out of those nominations, I feel that The Royal Tenenbaums merits discussion above the others.
