R.A. Porter, love the Harold and Kumar pick, and also Groundhog Day. I love Bill Murray in that.

Some Like it Hot. The greatest last line in film history (about which Wilder thought "it'll do for now")
2. Stripes. Most people prefer Caddyshack or Ghost Busters for early-era Bill Murray comedies, but for me it's always been Stripes.
3. Groundhog Day. Just a perfectly structured movie, and about the only one in which Andie McDowell doesn't bug me.

and two bonus flicks..
4. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. NPH, 'nuff said.
5. Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?. Tony Frakin' Randall. In fact, pretty much any Randall movie could make my top ten.

And I didn't even bring up Philadelphia Story or Desk Set (my favorite Hepburn/Tracy flick.) Alright. I'm going to stop now. This could go on for awhile.

R.A. Porter's last blog post..Bobby Fischer dead at 64

Too hard of a request, but I'll put down:

1) City Lights (Chaplin)
2) Modern Times (Chaplin)
3) Some Like It Hot (Wilder)

Cap'n, Princess Bride is a top one of mine as well.

You guys are naming off a lot of movies I haven't seen...namely these older ones, like Life of Brian, Monty Python...but never Duck Soup, Horse Feathers??

I do love the Anchorman quote Frank :)

Nice list man...I still haven't seen the Big Lebowski, but it's out on HD-DVD and we've been wanting to.
