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 to 2nd Round 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 two (2) movie with the most votes. We will then move on to ROUND 3.

SELECTED COMEDY FILMS
Blazing Saddles (1974)
Young Frankenstein (1974)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
Animal House (1978)
The Jerk (1979)

Caddyshack (1980)
This Is Spinal Tap (1984)

    I am not sure I can really relate with someone who thinks Young Frankenstein is funnier than the Holy Grail, lol.

    YF is pretty darn funny.
    (I like Grail more as well, though.)
    I laugh at Airplane but I was it at the bottom rung given the rest of the list.  Animal House is next, I think.

    My two favourite comedies of all time are:

    A Fish Called Wanda
    Big Lebowski

    Still a great list with the Jerk and Monty Python a class above the rest. There is also a Canadian comedy from the early nineties called “The Road to Saddle River” which is amazing, but the humour may not transfer well outside our borders.. lol.

    I enjoyed Le Dîner de Cons. The American Dinner for Schmucks was inspired by this French gem.

    Boo, on Naked Gun being eliminated. This list could've used National Lampoons Vacation instead of Dumb and Dumber.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Yeah, I'm sorry to see Naked Gun gone, especially put up against a few that remain.  Odd.
