    Pretty good. With this in mind I tried to formulate my own list and see how it would compare. There will never be any two lisats of funny movies that will match. Thrillers westerns and other genres are easier to quantuify, but funny, well that's all down to what tickles your funny bone.

These tickle mine. For today anyway; i find humour in the strangest of times (I found Blue Velvet and American Psycho very funny)
