Top 5
Animal House
Big Lebowski
Pulp Fiction
Office Space
Tommy Boy
Animal House makes me laugh harder and more often than any other movie. So many other movies have ripped it off it probably seems cliche to a lot of the younger folks, but it's hands down my favorite comedy.

Planes Trains and Automobiles is hilarious! That definitely gets added to my top five.
And Borat lol. I think the Ali G show is at least as good if not better though.
I didn't like Office Space as much as everyone else, apparently. Maybe i need to rewatch it.
Are Jack and i the lone Leslie Nielsen fans here?

I have never laughed out loud as much in my life as when I watched 40 year old virgin
Old School is great too.
For a classic, I love LA Story. Subtle humor > slapstick....

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
