I Love to Laugh

Hi everyone:

I know it has been a ghost town around here this last week. Unfortunately our last podcast suffered technical difficulties and the resulting recording is unlistenable (which means we will have to review/talk about singing in the rain & brick... AGAIN!) We have been trying to see if any of the recording is salvageable, but alas it seems even our audio-guru Pierre cannot save it. As a result we will be posting a shorter discussion we had about the movie "money ball"; but fear not we will record Brick and Singing in the Rain again at a future date. For now the discussion is too fresh in our memories to make the conversation natural, so we are moving on to another project, and we need your help.

Comedies get the short end of the stick critically, which is unfortunate since we all agree it is significantly more difficult to make a comedy than a straight drama (because of that essential comedic ingredient... TIMING!). As a result we have decided to assemble 5 comedies to watch over the next few weeks. The plan is to discuss them in the next 2-3 episodes of the cast and see why these movies withstand the test of time... or don't; and also have a general discussion on what makes a great comedy. So, here is where you come in. I want to know what your favorite funny movies are; we are going to select 3 ourselves and the other 2 will be determined by you guys (and gals). So please let us know what your favorite (or top 3) funny(ies) is(are) in the comments below. Anything goes: slap-stick, romantic, screw-ball, etc.

Alright everyone, looking forward to this and getting the podcast back on track after our speed-bump.
