We didn't ask you to list every movie you ever liked...you shouldn't have more than 10 favorites...I really didn't give my list much thought, only thing that would take some thought is putting them in some meaningful order.

Unfortunately the release was scheduled for 2004, then pushed back to 2005. Now Troy Duffy, the director, got into troubles and there is talk that Norman Reedus and Dafoe are leaving the production. These are all rumors, because obviously this is my favorite movie and would love to see a sequel. I get all my information from the imdb boondock saints forums.

Happy Gilmore just always has a place in my heart but its kinda a Happy Gilmore/Billy Madison combo. When I was in HS me and my friends were obsessed so its more about the situation surrounding it than the actual movie. Blazing Saddles and Caddyshack are close on my list too.
Fight Club, Leon, and Gladiator are all close to #1 for me...

Comedies never get any credit.
Tommy Boy

Billy Madison

Dumb and Dumber
