This discussion came up with Parts Unknown and I have not been able to get it out of my head since. We were discussing where Dumb and Dumber would rank in a list of greatest comedies ever. So I decided to take some time and make my list and just see where it would land on here. I had projected early possibly in the 15 range….I may have been off with that.
As always opinions will differ and I would love to hear some feedback on what you would have on your list were you to make one. Here are my top twenty with a few honorable mentions.
20. Talladega Nights
19. Trading Places
18. Superbad
17. Office Space
16. National Lampoon’s Animal House
15. The Hangover
14. Tropic Thunder
13. Young Frankenstein
12. National Lampoon’s Vacation
11. The Jerk
10. Hot Shots!
9. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
8. Spaceballs
7. Clerks 2
6. Caddyshack
5. The Naked Gun
4. Airplane
3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
2. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
1. Blazing Saddles
Well…alas poor Dumb and Dumber did not in fact make the list. But it can hold a place with some honorable mentions that would have been listed had I felt like going to 30 or 40.
