I would like us to continue on the movie path for one more 'WEAKEST LINK'. I decided to go with one of some of my all-time favorite comedy films, so we can now discuss which of these films in the best comedy from the ones selected. Pick the film that you think is the WEAKEST LINK from the ones provided. I do know there are MANY comedies that are just as funny as any of these and some probably better. But, when I was putting together a list of just 10, these are the ones that came to mind. Again, thanks to everyone who plays.

Now to the FINALS to determine the BEST of these SELECTED COMEDIES.

You are going to pick the film that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the movie with the most votes. We will then have our Champion.

SELECTED COMEDY FILMS
Blazing Saddles (1974)
Young Frankenstein (1974) - Eliminated Round 4
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) - Eliminated Round 4
Animal House (1978) - Eliminated Round 2
The Jerk (1979) - Eliminated Round 3
Airplane (1980) - Eliminated Round 2
Caddyshack (1980)
This Is Spinal Tap (1984) - Eliminated Round 3
The Naked Gun (1988) - Eliminated Round 1

    Still time for it to flip in the wrong direction....not that I don't think Caddy is a great comedy, because I do.  BS is just funnier.

    I could never get into Caddyshack but I'm not big into Blazing Saddles - it's being overly offensive just because, IMO. I mean, I'm not a prude  I've been known to tell the old offensive joke here and there (and get in trouble). Whatever - I liked all the other movies better than these.

    Do people REALLY like Blazing Saddles that much? Seems like contrived controversy to me. Whatever.

    Totally - I am crazy (stir crazy?) over at least half dozen of the movies above and all got promptly voted out. Oh well.

    I love Cleavon Little's performance, but man, what kind of film would this have been if Richard Pryor's addictions hadn't kept him away from the set?  
    I SAW PEARL JAM

    Even funnier, no doubt.
    There are so many things to laugh at.  Mel Brooks = comedic genius
