Animal House
Ghostbusters - original
Four no one has mentioned
After Hours & The King of Comedy both directed by Scorsese
Dogma easily the best Kevin Smith movie
Tootsie - One of the best exchanges ever between Dustin Hoffman and Sydney Pollack
Hoffman: "My friend Sandy thinks I'm gay!"
Pollack : "Sleep with her!.
Hoffaman: "I slept with her once she still thinks I'm gay."
Pollack (deadpans): "Oh....that's not good Mike."

Forgot that one.
Charles Grodin, Eddie Albert and an unbelievably beautiful Cybil Shepard (22 years old then).
On Youtube for anyone who wants to see it.
Good one but if you're going to put up Dudley Moore you have to mention "10".
I actually talked Bo Derek in a club in Manhattan called The Cutting Room about 10 years ago. She was there to watch John Corbett, who was her boyfriends, band. I actually have a tape of what I said to her.
Disagree it is Animal house and the rest are for second place!
Magnificent Men and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. 2 classics from the 60's.
Rat Race was a pretty good Mad World copy.
Animal House broke new ground and set the standard for comedy.
I cannot believe that nobody named "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"
Classic Lines:
"He's going to sh#t, he's going to kill us.
Well make up your mind. Is he going to sh#t or is he going to kill us?
First he's going to sh#t, then he's going to kill us."

My favorite 5 in no particular order

History of the World Part 1
Arthur
A Fish Called Wanda
Borat (A shout out to Borat)

I'm going to add caddy Shack and trading Places instead of animal house and monty python.
Midnight Run probably should have been on my list. DeNiro and Grodin were fantastic together. "See you in the next life"
