The Philadelphia Story (1940) - 42 Points
Chuckles 46, Laughs 10, Belly Laughs 3 Notes: I admit that this is the first time that I'd seen this movie and watched it because I saw it atop another "experts" list. I'm glad that I did. This is indeed a fun, funny, entertaining movie with 3 of my favorite actors (Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant). I didn't find this a hysterically funny movie with a laugh a minute or anything but I can say that it's continuously funny throughout with brilliant acting, a fun premise and even a fun surprise or two. Would I watch it again? Yes.

Shaun of the Dead (2004) - 29 Points
Chuckles 30, Laughs 11, Belly Laughs 1 Notes: If you're looking for zombie comedy other than Zombieland, this is a great one! Although it didn't score a ton of points, I've enjoyed watching this movie several times throughout the years and although it may not make me laugh quite as hard as the first time, I still find it very funny. This film features the British comedy duo of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and although they don't score as many points as they did in Hot Fuzz, they're great together in this movie as well. Would I watch it again? Yes. Rushmore (1998) - 40 Points
Chuckles 34, Laughs 8, Belly Laughs 5 Notes: A friend of mine suggested this movie to me. I've been aware of it since it came out but it just didn't look that appealing. This is a weird, quirky, awkward, coming-of-age comedy about a 15 year old boy (Jason Schwartz) at a private school whose grades suffer despite being an overachiever and his friendship with a parent of classmate (Bill Murray) and his crush on a teacher (Olivia Williams). Sometimes Wes Anderson movies are "almosts" for me but this one hit the mark. Mr. Anderson directed the film and co-wrote it with Owen Wilson. I'm kicking myself for not watching it sooner. Would I watch it again? Yes. |
AuthorIf there' s one thing I've always been good at, it's laughing and identifying with a remarkable degree of accuracy, the source of that laughter. For I am SKOL; (The) Scandinavian King Of Laughter!
