Top 5 Comedy's...

Hello friends!!!

After thinking about my 5 best dramas, I had conversations with people in regarding these picks. There is a general theme to all these movies. You genuinely feel sad for a character in each of these movies. Your heart feels tangled for Adam Sandler in Reign, and what about Haley Joel in Pay it Forward? I guess a good drama has you, as the audience, "buy into" or "connect to" the character. Think of your favorite drama...how did they draw you to connect to the character?

My top 5 comedies were harder than I originally thought. I usually only watch dramas because of a couple of reasons. First and foremost, dramas usually have good acting, better than comedies. Second, I only get to watch a few movies a year and I try and watch movies I think will do well in February during Oscar time. (Yepp, there is an Oscar party I attend every year, and the GOLDEN STATUTE is currently in my possession, and I attend to keep it that way...)

Well, here it goes, My top five comedies...in no particular order.

1. As Good As It Gets - I have to admit, Jack Nicholson plays a wonderful part in this movie. I thought about putting it in my top 5 dramas, but a lot of his actions were hilarious. Remember when he was walking on the sidewalk missing the cracks...(yes I know it was a medical condition), but it was still quite funny.

2. Clerks - When this movie was released, I thought, what is going on, a black and white movie? I guess you learn not to judge a movie by its "color" because this movie is a classic. Jay and Silent Bob are introduced to us here and are at their funniest.

3. Little Miss Sunshine - Talk about a chaotic hilarity of a movie. The whole family is sort of a cluster of different personalities, and to put them in a beat up van to travel to a pageant that the girl will not win...I still remember the girl parading around on the stage after the judging.

4. About Schmidt - Yes, Jack is twice in my top 5. He is a great actor, all the way around. In this picture, he reminds me of a meddling family member who only wants what is best for his daughter. But on the flip side, he has totally forgotten HOW to take care of himself. The majority of the scenes are funny, well because it's Jack, being Jack.

5. Napoleon Dynamite - What an INDEPENDENT gem. Napoleon plays this offbeat weird high school student that wants his friend to be president. But the day to day stuff that happens are hilarious, and the one liners that have come from this movie are still funny to this day.

So what do you think? Did I jog some memories? Let me guess, your favorite comedy is not on my list? Well write a comment and tell me about your favorite...

Next up, Action. And I'm debating two more categories, Favorite kids movies, and Documentaries. (documentaries wouldn't have been a category years ago, but there are some very good Doc's out there...)

On a side note, if you would be so inclined, I would appreciate it if you are enjoying the blog, to "favorite" my blog on the side. Thanks in advance, and I'll chat with you soon.
