Hm. If we compare _all_ comedy movies all of a sudden, I think we can't just compare these five or six, and they're certainly not the "best in comedy of all time ever", anyway. Not for me. I agree that MP's movies rank higher, but so, in my opinion, do "Life Stinks" and "The Producers" (the original, not the movie adaption of the musical adaption of the original movie) by Mel Brooks and certainly I'd have to state "Happiness" as well. Okay, might be seen as either a very dark comedy or a tragedy, depending on your angle on that movie...

* Ferris Buellers day off

* (at a loss of the title here) about a group of youth who go off to see a KISS concert, loose there tickets and do crazy things to get into the concert etc - announcing on a PA system at his mothers campaign against Rock Music that he lost his Virginity in a Confesional Box would have to be the highlight of it, anyone know the name of this film?

I'll probably be on my own here, but, at the time, I also preferred Bill and Ted over Wayne's World. Maybe I just didn't "get" Wayne's World or something...



Whoa, is grade 5 in Canada about age 11 or so? I'm surprised you weren't learning English by that time, particularly as Canada seems to use both French and English throughout the country.
Well in grade 5 you know a few words, and you can make a few sentences, but now listen to a movie in English. Most people (adults) in Montreal and near the US/Ontario borders speak English pretty well but they're not fully bilingual.

I gotta second Ferris Bueller's day off. Definitely one of the greats back there. And: Breakfast club.
