My vote was for His Girl Friday (my favorite comedy ever!!!). Such a funny movie.
I don't think that Some Like It Hot should be #1 on the AFI's list of greatest comedies. But, I do think it's funny!
Really it's just Jack Lemmon giving a hilarious performance!
On the other hand, for some strange reason, I have never thought that "BUB" was THAT funny...so...?
I love His Girl Friday too! Not as much as BUB, but still. Whenever I watch it I want to be a reporter. Movies like that are dangerous.
You are right, Jack Lemmon is the only one who gives a noteworthy performance. I thought Tony Curtis delivered some great lines rather flatly, and Marilyn Monroe was just a straight man.
As for BUB, I think you have to be into silly humor for that one. Or you have to find ditzy, over-the-top characters funny. Me, I have always thought it was hilarious.
Thank you for commenting! You're like the only one who's a regular commentator and it's awfully sweet. :)
I think Bringing Up Baby deserves it! I LOVE this movie. Nothing like hearing Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant yell "Leopard" over and over! This screwball comedy may have been horrible in the box office-- but has definitely proved itself to be an all time hilarious favorite! I'm sorry I didn't vote, but my vote would have gone to this film!
"DAVID THE LEOPARD!"
"SUSAN THE LEOPARD!"
Classic!
