Between these two I personally liked Office Space more, as it relates more to the jobs I have had, while Caddyshack is just good humor. There is always one character on Office Space who you can relate to personally at your job.

However, my personal favorite film is Blazing Saddles, but did that make the 30 year cut?

I started this poll with the 16 round 3 entrants in the other poll swede created. Blazing Saddles is in my personal top 10 list too, as are some other comedies (e.g. The Ref) that weren't in this top 16.

I find it interesting that both the original and this poll ended up with the same top two, ranked in the same order. Personally I prefer the match-up format, it's more fun having to pick between two great (or not so great) contenders. But ultimately, the results seem pretty similar.

Yes, in this case the results were eerily similar and seem to support the validity of the Championship matchup.

However, my personal opinion is that there is no way _The Princess Bride_ should have been a top four movie and no way _Animal House_ should not have been. Changing the matchups in your semi-final might have led to a different final two.

OOT people seem to enjoy your format more since it appears you get more votes in your matchups so I guess this will be the last time I do a poll of this type.

I didn't say it was horrible, it was ok, but top 4?--no way Josie. Both my personalities agree on this.

How does Spinal Tap not have an option for 11?

Final Update - Caddyshack, a Cinderella story outta nowhere, appears to be the clear winner.
