All these new lists of yours go up to eleven, and no Spinal Tap here? :-) Just kidding. A funny movie, but not that funny. I am kinda surprised, given what I know of your taste to not see LA Story here. And I personally remain a big Groundhog Day fan, but I can understand not including it. I'm curious to know what you thought of it though.
I love both L.A. Story and Groundhog Day, and both were in serious consideration for this list. If eleven had stretched into twenty, both might well be here!
Great stuff. This Is Spinal Tap was also serious contention to the above titles, as was The Gold Rush, Defending Your Life, His Girl Friday, The General and a few others.
Hard list to make, but easy films to love...
Shalom, y'all!

Ah, nice to hear you're a fellow Groundhog Day fan. I didn't recall seeing it on any of your lists, which is why I asked.
Not a Marx Brothers fan, lbangs?
