Forget all those other movies, Raising Arizona is by far the best movie on this list

Mike the Ginger

Recently showed my girlfriend both "Fast Times" and "Caddyshack" since they're iconic 80s films she hadn't seen. She loved them both but "Fast Times" was by far her favorite. It's also iconic and was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Ken Veader

they should see The Bad News Bears so they can get a taste of peak Walter Matthau

Ken Veader

My favorite DeNiro film

Vwlss Nvwls

I love Major League, but there are so many much better films in this list, it's too bad Major League seems like it will win this poll.

Will D

Major League and Moneyball. Is it baseball season! :)

Scott Kerr

I agree with that one along with The Odd Couple (1968) and The Out-of-Towners (1970). Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau movies are so good!

ron clint

Slap Shot is def one of the best

Ed R

Slap Shot

Mark M

I’m going to suggest ‘Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story’ because I can’t think of another reactor that would not only watch it but have a few laughs along the way🤣.

Erwin Quiachon

I'm not a fan of the movie, but Spicoli is still one of the most fascinating performances I've ever seen.

YoureMrLebowski

Ahhh, the scene of Phoebe Cates coming out of the pool....

YoureMrLebowski

As Good As It Gets (1997) needs a shot at the title

YoureMrLebowski

I saw Parenthood and don't remember Keanu or Joaquin at all! but being older, that tends to happen 🙂

YoureMrLebowski

As Good As It Gets (1997), great film 👍🏼

Jonathan Patrick

I also support Grumpy Old Men and the sequel Grumpier Old Men

YoureMrLebowski

Midnight Run (1988) is a favorite. I love Charles Grodin. watch your cigarettes Jack.

Future Boy

Crocodile Dundee, yes!

Florian Meier

Both are Great!!!

Domino

Someone already mentioned it but totally As Good As It Gets (1997) and maybe Knives Out (2019) if you guys have not yet watched it!

kbobravo

If you haven't seen them, I cannot recommend these three enough I Love You, Man Chef Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

Donna Castellano

The Hudsucker Proxy and O Brother, Where Art Thou? are my favorites. I generally don't care for a lot of their filmography, but I can appreciate the work they put into their movies.

kbobravo

I don't dislike it, but it is far down the Coen's filmography for me. Will never understand why it gets praised the way it does.

Donna Castellano

I gotta be the only person who doesn't like Raising Arizona.

Drzergberg

I second Grumpy Old Men and the sequel.

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

Oh wow, some good ones on here! Sad to see Hudsucker getting killed by Arizona, though :(

Raven Dark

I'd like to recommend Grumpy Old Men, Sister Act, and Three Men and a Baby for comedies. All three have sequels, and in all cases, while the originals are wonderful, in my opinion, the sequels are even better. All six are super funny, laugh out loud feel good movies I think you guys would love.

Guston Zimasheen

So many great choices this time round. Decisions, decisions...

Mr. Writhms

"Midnight Run" (1988) A Robert Deniro action/comedy.

YoureMrLebowski

The Nice Guys (2016) is a great comedy.

Michael Buhl

I see 6 or 7 essential movies here. I went with "This Is Spinal Tap," but I could just as easily picked a few others.

Michael Soukup

Coen!!! Raising Arizona and/or Hudsucker

Michael Chavira

Uncle Buck all day, everyday!

David Crabtree

Dazed & Confused is my favorite film of all time.

Miles E Coburn

I would also suggest, "Freebie and the Bean" (1974). One of the forerunners, if not the original, of the "buddy cop" movies. Stars the late, great James Caan and Alan Arkin.

Jonathan Patrick

Amazing I haven't seen it reacted to anywhere. A classic.

Gerald Corona

If I remember right, you guys were considering a "Golden Age of Hollywood" deep dive. And that brings to mind several must watch, classic comedies. Among many others I recommend: THE GREAT RACE 1965. IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD 1963. And THE ODD COUPLE 1968.

Florian Meier

A Great Comedy Movie is "As Good As It Gets" from 1997 with Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt and Greg Kinnear !!! Oscar Performance from Nicholson !!! And "Space Cowboys" from 2000 with Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones and Donald Sutherland

Gerald Corona

Your comment brings to mind one of the all time slapstick comedy classics. IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD 1963. "A comedy to end all comedies." It give a whole new meaning to the phrase Stacked Cast!

Florian Meier

Yes!! Crocodile Dundee !!!

mikethemotormouth

"The official story is he choked on vomit." "Although they couldn't actually prove whose vomit it was." "Can't really dust for vomit."

Rudy Hernandez

Parenthood (Steve Martin, Rick Moranis, Dianne Weist, Keanu Reeves, Joaquin Phoenix) The Hangover Maverick (1993)

Allister Fiend

Nice, The Hudsucker Proxy made the list, another great Coen brother film. You two have to watch this one because, you know, 'for the kids'.

Bob Bittner

I’m going to encourage you to go back a few more years: 1972’s “What’s Up, Doc?” starring Barbra Streisand and Ryan O’Neal, directed by Peter Bogdanovich. It’s the director’s homage to the great screwball comedies of the 1930s and ‘40s—fast-paced (and witty) dialogue, unlikely coincidences, slapstick comedy, etc. Definitely worth a watch.

Tee Grant

The Great Outdoors

Smooticus

All of these are good

Smooticus

Agreed!

Byron Easley

Raising Arizona! Just do the Coen Bros deep dive!!

Tristan Durant

Analyze This & Analyze That! 🙃

Jonathan Patrick

Analyze This! 😎 And I'd like to recommend.. 9 Months (1995) Hugh Grant and Robin Williams. Mickey Blue Eyes (1999) (mobster comedy), w Hugh Grant and the now late James Cann. Love, Actually (2003) w Hugh Grant Jerry Maguire (1996) Tom Cruise Crocodile Dundee (1986)
