    Damn, I watched yours and Cody's back to back and I'm laughing at how opposite these two lists are. You put some good ones on here, some I hadn't thought about in a long time. Some of them I do consider more drama, so I guess a Dramady? LOL. As Good as it Gets was such a good film. I added some different ones to Cody's lists based on the tone of his list so I will do the same here based on the tone of yours. If we are going with the more dramatic comedies, I would definitely add Its Complicated, Father of the Bride, and Parenthood (I really enjoy Steve Martin, haha). The Book Club is another one I would add. Dark comedy wise, I loved Death Becomes Her. Kudos to you guys for sitting here and doing this.

    Mad props for recognizing Ed Wood...I thought I was the only person that still remembers that film.
    #5Very Bad Things- Christian Slater Daniel Stern and Jon Favreau- if you like dark comedy its a treat
    #4 Mars Attacks- Jack Nicholson Pierce Bronson Sarah Jessica Parker- sci fi comedy at its most insane.
    #3 Pump Up the Volume- Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis- Give the "outcast" a microphone and enjoy all he says!
    #2 The Wedding Singer- Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore- I'm a 80s baby and this hit all the right nostalgic notes the music the looks special appearance by Billy Idol..it has it all.
    #1 Batman and Robin- The funniest movie ever 😆 Clooney is wooden, O Donnell is whatever is does, Uma Therman is just so hilarious and Arnold the man of the one liners delivers an entire movie of them so so perfectly over the top!

    In Bruges at number 2 was awesome to see. Since it’s more of a dark comedy it’s strange to compare it to other raunchy type comedies. Or maybe because it is just so much better than all of them lol

    • @BryanLomax
      @BryanLomax  3 роки тому

      It's undoubtedly better! But on top of that, it makes me laugh a heck of a lot more than those raunchy comedies you speak of, and surely that is the primary thing that a comedy should do.

      It deals with the darkest aspects of life in some of the most irreverent ways. If you don't think you are supposed to laugh at the stupidity of Sam Rockwell's character, or the way in which the main character deals with the police and the media, then you are watching it wrong!

      @@bigboimomothahomo3126 that means nothing. When you look up the film on IMDb the first genre tag it is listed under is "comedy". This means nothing either. But my point is that you can always find ways to justify your SUBJECTIVE opinion. And, as I state in the video several times, that's all I'm giving, my subjective opinion. A comedy should make you laugh. And I laughed during Three Billboards far more times than I have with so many other films that were billed as "comedies". Martin Macdonagh makes movies that are dark, dramatic and incredibly funny, all at the same time.
