Brian Sevilla
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels should be on this list
erik stone
SPIES LIKE US and FLETCH should be considered.
Jonathan Patrick
Terms of Endearment and Steel Magnolias
Rudy Hernandez
Lmao! Such a classic!! That would be epic if they did this one. “Come on, Terry, show us hairy chest” 😂
Robert Boyd
I’d also like to suggest TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, which is probably more of a dramady. I like to think of it as a comedy with dramatic elements. Shirley MacLaine, Debra Winger, Jack Nicholson, Jeff Daniels, and John Lithgow give pitch perfect performances. MacLaine & Nicholson won Oscars; it also won best picture, screenplay adaptation, best director.
Scott Kerr
This is probably the hardest poll list. All of these movies are so good! It's very difficult to choose
Gino Padula
Spinal Tap all the way.
Ken Veader
I almost suggested that, funny movie, would be cool for them to see more young William Zabka being basically Johnny Lawrence
Jeremy Garner
Lord all of these movies are great lol
Jeff Mills
I'm going to suggest "Just One Of The Guys" (1985) which is about a teenage girl who poses as a boy in high school and it co-stars William Zabka as another bully, this one even worse than Johnny Lawrence.
Jeff Mills
Since you just watched "Happy Gilmore", it would be remiss for me to not suggest the greatest movie ever made about golf starring the irrepressible Will Smith, "The Legend of Bagger Vance". LOL Just kidding! Nope, I mean "Caddyshack". You will both love it.
Philip Alan
mmmm, the Pâté
Florian Meier
Yes !!:)
Colwyn Baily
As a (happily!) married couple, you really need to watch "War of the Roses" sometime.
Uncle 'Traveling' Matt
Yes! Excellent suggestions! And Mallrats (1995) as well, please!
Nick of Time
“Clerks” and/or “Chasing Amy”
Nonimal
If you guys haven't already seen either of these I would recommend Joe Dirt and Grandma's Boy :)
Uncle 'Traveling' Matt
More comedy recommendations: - Burn After Reading (2008) - Hudsucker Proxy (1994) - Bull Durham (1988) - The Monster Squad (1987)... but I'd need some backers before I recommended that wholeheartedly... maybe it's just nostalgia glasses :S
Uncle 'Traveling' Matt
You DON'T UNDERSTAND how much I love Miller's Crossing. Easily top 3 gangster films of all time!
Tyler Foster
Fargo, Raising Arizona, O Brother, and No Country are the "big" Coen movies in the reactor-verse, but I'd really love to see basically everything else: Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing, Hudsucker Proxy, The Man Who Wasn't There, Burn After Reading, A Serious Man, and Inside Llewyn Davis.
Uncle 'Traveling' Matt
Oh boy, you guys picked some winners for your other two polls, but I think the options here (other than the Coen brothers and Major League) are a little lacking :( The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) is a GREAT Coen brothers' comedy, which basically NOBODY has seen, but Raising Arizona seems to be the more popular one. Truth is, I think I just don't find comedies made before 1990 very funny anymore (did when I was younger!) Hmmm... does The Monster Squad (1987) count as a comedy? That'd be fun... kinda got a Goonies vibe to it.
Trepanation21
Omg Raising Arizona! A classic that I never see channels checking out!
Ken Veader
I gotta recommend you guys react to Gung Ho with Michael Keaton. Underrated 80's comedy and you guys seemed to really like him in Jackie Brown
Ken Veader
Surprised Ferris Buller is winning, Raising Arizona is the best film on the list, voted for that Caddyshack and Major League
iliketostayhome
Can't wait for the eventual Spinal Tap reaction. Every day is a day closer.
Jonathan Patrick
The Wedding Singer (Adam Sandler) Analyze This (DeNiro mobster comedy) ^^ Some good ones for comedy.
Chris Bruneau
Ferris bueller is a great film! Also, Caddyshack is a classic. cant go wrong with either one!!!
Rudy Hernandez
Ugh! There’s a problem…These are ALL GREaT!!
AC Malin
ALL OF THEM !!
Charlie Keeler
Also Raising Arizona is the correct choice here 😆
Charlie Keeler
Man o man so many great comedies but I’ll tick off a few in no particular order and apologies if these were already reacted to…. Smokey and the Bandit, Talladega Nights, 21 Jump Street, Dazed and Confused, A Shot in the Dark, Step Brothers, Coming to America, Bridesmaids, The Bird Cage, Friday, Anchor Man, Best in Show, Shaun of the Dead….I’ll stop there but sooo many more I could recon 😆
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
Too many choices! Just kidding but I honestly want you to watch them all!!! They're all great movies, even War of the Roses, it is definitely gonna lose, but it's honestly one of my favorite dark comedies. I ended up voting for all of them except Caddyshack and Ferris, probably the winner, but it's only because I've seen both so many times myself, so, selfish reasons. Ah just watch them all!
Domino
I'm sorry if I already recommended these comedies, I can't remember! Knives Out (2019) The Full Monty (1997) As Full As It Gets (1997) Nothing To Lose (1997)
Philip Alan
which I just did! :)
Robert Boyd
John Candy is genius in SPLASH but it’s a supporting role
Florian Meier
Yes !! War of the Roses is a Masterpiece !!!
TBR Schmitt
You can vote for them both! :) -Sam
mikethemotormouth
And that prom scene never fails to make me bust a gut. "Better shave 'er a little closer before you kiss 'er goodnight!"
Derin Argon
I voted for Ferris Bueller...but I also really like War Of The Roses ~
canakavian
Tucker and Dale vs Evil
James Whalen
Great outdoors, Splash, Uncle Buck and Cool Runnings are my faves.
Tyler Foster
Really pulling for Fast Times to beat Ferris Bueller. FBDO's fine but Fast Times is great.
TBR Schmitt
Give me some recommendations, please :) I know Daniel needs to watch Uncle Buck (which I've seen), but what are some others? Great Outdoors? -Sam
Robert Boyd
WAR OF THE ROSES is one of the darkest comedies I’ve ever seen. It’s great. Side note: the guy sitting in the office in the prologue and the epilogue does the voice of Homer Simpson.
Forrest
Sad to say I don't usually watch a lot of comedy films because I tend to watch alone, so it's not as funny without others, so Ferris Bueller's Day Off is the only one I have seen, that I know of at least. Watched that many times growing up and love it. Looking forward to maybe seeing these other ones that may not win however.
dieselbeast
Ferris beulers day off is finally winning woohoo!
TheVanillaGorilla
I watch quite a few reactions and I haven’t seen a good reaction to “Better Off Dead”. It’s a super solid comedy. Please keep it on the list as a future reaction if it doesn’t win this poll. 🇺🇸
mikethemotormouth
2 dollars! I want my 2 dollars!
James Whalen
Need John Candy options.
