The movies are ordered by the the number of nominations they got, or by the order they received that many nominations. I still have two lists because I wasn't sure what to do with the second. (Note that some movies appear on both lists; maybe I'll merge the two lists eventually, or something like that.) Movies nominated for the funniest movies list so far: movie no. of nominations Monty Python & the Holy Grail 6 The Producers 5 Blazing Saddles 5 National Lampoon's Animal House 4 Stripes 3 Airplane 3 Bedazzled (Peter Cook, Dudley Moore) 3 After Hours 3 Life of Brian (Monty Python) 2 Young Frankenstein 2 Airplane II 2 National Lampoon's Vacation 1 The Gumball Rally (a "Cannonball Express" movie) 1 Back to the Future 1 Philadelphia Story 1 The Lemon Drop Kid (Bob Hope) 1 A Christmas Story 1 Cheech and Chong's Next Movie 1 The Rutles 1 Sleeper 1 Ghostbusters 1 All of Me 1 La Cage aux Folles 1 Starting Over 1 Strange Brew 1 Pink Panther and all sequels 1 Murder by Death 1 This is Spinal Tap 1 Caddyshack 1 Slapshot 1 The In-laws (Alan Arkin & Peter Falk) 1 Beverly Hills Cop 1 There's a Girl in My Soup (Peter Sellers & Goldie Hawn) 1 The Black Bird 1 What's Up Doc 1 The Gods Must Be Crazy 1 The Long Long Trailer 1 Arsenic and Old Lace 1 Those Manificent Men and Their Flying Machines 1 It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World 1 The Blues Brothers 1 Trading Places 1 Stir Crazy 1 Nine to Five 1 Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying Love the Bomb (title?) 1 The Frisco Kid 1 One, Two, Three (James Cagney) 1 Bananas 1 Better Off Dead 1 High Anxiety 1 Being There 1 The Party 1 Movies which are possible future nominees, and ones which have been suggested as funny, but may not make the funniest list (and some of these include strange nominations): Friday the 13th - including all sequels Jaws Halloween - and all sequels Murder by Death Young Frankenstein 2 My Favorite Year 2 Start the Revolution Without Me Soup for One And Now for Something Completely Different (Monty Python) Beverly Hills Cop Blazing Saddles Ghostbusters It Happened One Night Terms of Endearment (only the first 2/3 was nominated, so I placed it in this list) Meatballs Stir Crazy National Lampoon's Vacation Airplane Aiplane II Monty Python & the Holy Grail Blues Brothers If I lost someone's nominations, send it again, or post it to this newsgroup (otherwise, I am relying on people posting their nominations only once). If there is enough interest, I will update this list, and post it once in a while. Any suggestions are welcome.
