I guess The Fifth Element. Quirky, unique sci-fi.

hear, hear.. it's the greatest movie ever made if you haven't seen enough movies yet

it's not even close to the greatest, it's not even in the top 10, or 20 for that matter.. gimme a break


Oh cool, I guess I'm not alone then.

I love Shawshank Redemption, it's maybe one of my favorite movies, and I love Morgan Freeman he's such a great actor.

Had it been Wayne's World I I would've most certainly chose it. Now I don't know what to do.

Shawshank from this list. I thought the Fifth Element was really bad...

Sleuth for me. The original that is and not the inferior Michael Caine and Jude Law re-make.

Sleuth is far too good a film not to have any votes so I voted for that (I'm assuming it's the great Caine-Olivier original not the inferior remake with Jude Law).

Life of Brian is good but over-rated IMO - Holy Grail is much funnier.

I am of the opinion that Wayne's World 2 is about one-fifth as good as its predecessor. Had you picked WW1, I probably woulda voted for it. As it stands, though, I'll rack up the vote for Life of Brian

I'm going to go ahead and be controversial and say that I think The Shawshank Redemption is overrated. Yes I said it. It's always seemed pretentious to me, but I'm pretty sure I'm alone there. So out of this list I'm going with Life of Brian.

Great list.  I hate to be cliche, but I went with The Shawshank Redemption.  One of my top five films of all time, too.  I also love Life of Brian and Blazing Saddles too.

1. Blazing Saddles
2. Life of Brian
3. The Shawshank Redemption
4. The Green Mile
5. The Fifth Element
6. Borat
7. Wayne's World 2
 
the rest I've either yet to see or, in the case of Yellow Submarine, have no interest in seeing

I guess I'm kind of an elitist when it comes to movies . I was going to say something like "Where the hell is Magnolia?? Run Lola Run?? Reservoir Dogs?? Se7en??", but instead of being a douche I'll just look on the bright side of life and vote Life Of Brian. Although for Python affairs I prefer Holy Grail

Sleuth? i love Sleuth but, which one do you mean?  I believe there was a recent one with Mr Caine in it too?  But I haven't seen that one.  Blazing Saddles and Fifth Element are 'enjoyable romps' .  I really didn't get Easy Rider.
 
But Life of Brian is on this list so it has to be my favourite comedy ever - But remember everyone - He's not the messiah he's a very naughty boy!
