As far as pure comedy, there is nothing that matches the sheer talent associated with the preeminent comic movie of the modern era, Ghostbusters. This movie takes all of the talent of the late ’70′s and early ’80′s in terms of writing, directing, and acting and makes it work on a level never accomplished since. [...]

British film humor reaches it’s pinnacle with Monty Python And The Holy Grail. It is by far the finest Grail movie, and the masterpiece among Monty Python movies. The lines from this movie stand the test of time and the Black Knight always triumphs. The brilliance of the cast is only overshadowed by the writing. [...]
I love a movie that deals with the heady ideas of the time-space continuum. Mix that in with a scary man in a rabbit suit and you have Donnie Darko. The movie features a brother-sister performance from Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal before they were household names. The movie is a twisted joyride of fantastic performances, [...]
