Greatest Comedies of the last 30 years - Disqualified movies

[swede123]

There were a total of 143 movies listed in the nominations thread. I disqualified 30 movies, either for being made prior to 1975, or for being primarily a movie of a different genre.

Prior to 1975:

Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein

Primarily Action/Adventure Movies:

48 Hours Beverly Hills Cop
Ghostbusters
Midnight Run
The Cannonball Run
Pee Wee's Big Adventure

Animated kids movies (the animated movies allowed are really not meant for kids)

Aladdin
Monsters Inc.
Shrek 2
The Incredibles

Stand-up Comedy - doesn't belong in this poll

Eddie Murphy: Delerious

The following were a bit tough, as I find many of them quite funny. Still, they weren't primarly made as comedies. I realize The Big Lebowski probably belongs in this category, but it's such an awesome movie it slipped in.

Fargo
Pulp Fiction
Dazed & Confused
Good Morning Vietnam
Scent of a Woman
Sideways
Snatch
The Hudsucker Proxy
The Royal Tennenbaums
Club Dread
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Being John Malkovich

Finally, I have a hard time thinking anyone in their right mind would consider these comedies. Needless to say, they won't be on the ballot.

American Psycho
Goodfellas
Rainman
A Clockwork Orange
Shark Attack 3: Megallodon

If anyone has a very convincing argument why these movies should be allowed in the poll now is your time to speak up. Otherwise I will post another thread with a qualifying poll for all the at-large bids (movies that don't qualify directly to the actual poll).
