Quote from GRECHA:

Inception, Just watched it.

Haven't been this excited about a movie since the matrix the first time i watched it

Watched it again yesterday.

I think I know why the projection of his suicidal, self sabotage wife in Leo's sub is called Mowe.

Mowe = My Own Worst Enemy.

Could be just coincidence, but I doubt it.

Quote from BigFunky:

Some fantastic comedies in that list.

The most troubling selection for me would be 'The Jerk'. When I saw it as a kid, it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen, just thinking about it would make me laugh.

But when re-watching many years later, I was very disappointed to say the least...

To avoid the agony of such disapppointment, I would subsitute 'Being There' - also from 1979, with Peter Sellers at his finest:

i agree "Jerk" is a bit childish. "Being There" is good.
I totally forgot about:
"National Lampoon's Animal House"
"Young Frankenstein"
"Four Weddings and a Funeral"

I think Airplane, Top Secret, Planes Trains and Automobiles should be considered.

Saw (2004) gets my nod of approval for its surprise ending
