    i'm probably in the extreme minority here, but i really didn't like superbad that much. there were bits and pieces here and there through the movie that were funny, but overall i didn't enjoy it that much.

    I am a huge Film guy. I love a great picture. But to say top five of all time?
    To difficult. My five however is maybe:

    Godfather
    Almost Famous
    Shawshank
    Forrest Gump
    The Graduate

    But there are so many comedies that I love but could not really be best of all time.

    Ya need categories.
