I refuse to vote for Office Space or Princess Bride because Lebowski is out. But then again, I'm drunk, so who knows. I AM THE WALRUS!!!!!!!!!

You're right, but both of the movies you picked are wrong. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I do love Airplane, though.

ok, explain to me how Princess Bride is a comedy, I like the movie, but I just don't see it in the true comedy sense that the other choices are

Agreed. If you're basing your vote on total merit as a movie, Princess bride could very reasonably top Office Space. However, with this poll being about comedies, I have been voting on pure comedic value. It's a great movie, and I thought it deservedly won in the first few rounds, but it's not even close to the funniest movie on this list.

You could be right about the 'true comedy' thing.
But if I had to put it in one category, I would chose comedy.

I like Office Space, but it's a bit overrated.

Despite the egregious omissions of Airplane and Lebowski from the Final Four, these are pretty good.

The dream dies for Princess Bride here, though, and I think Caddyshack will have the legs for the semifinals, but not the finals.

Coffee's Predicted Winner: Office Space

NOTE TO ALL YOUNG 2+2ers: rent Spinal Tap asap. It must have lost because you haven't seen it.

I definetly agree that if you're gonna put Princess Bride in any category, it'd be comedy, since it certainly isn't a drama, and its not really a romantic comedy in the true sense. I guess that's what makes it such a good film, is that there isn't really any category it could really be pegged into. I'm a little surprised that Office Space has made it this far myself. Lebowski is a funnier movie, but I am a big fan of Office Space
