A flip-flop between first and second puts Caddyshack back at #1.

Only surprise is that I would've thought "Dumb and Dumber" would be ranked a little higher when compared to some of the flicks on this poll, like "American Pie" and "Old School".

Maybe you could try tabulating the results discarding all "1" votes. Because they dont fit in with the distribution and they're just homer anti-votes.

Lots of additional votes but little change in the rankings. Caddyshack seems to be on solidifying its hold on first and some Vacation fans have pushed it over Happy Gilmore:

"1" anti-votes are no different than "10" fan-boy votes, IMO.

I don't follow your statement that "1" votes don't fit in with the distribution. A normal curve is not a requirement of this kind of distribution of votes.

The Princess Bride climbs out of the celler on the shoulders of Dumb and Dumber. Otherwise, the list is unchanged.

Vacation moves back in front of Clerks, but to be honest I can't remember a single funny line form that movie.
