64%.There are a few of those I am definitely outside of the norm on, such as a decided preference for High Anxiety and Foul Play to the bigger blockbusters of those years, but others are among the best ever for me. What's Up, Doc?, Blazing Saddles, The Jerk, Monty Python and the Holy Grail....

You survive the freeze 🥶?

I survived but a broken pipe in garage and some water came in bathrooms but not a lot though If I waited another 5 minutes it would have been sort of a disaster. $ 700 to replace 12 inch of small pipe. From Early Wed morning until just today got slightly above freezing Wed 16 Thursday 14 lows. Today got to 34. Tonight down to 26 starting in an hour below freezing. It just never ends. I just hope no other pipes bust while I am asleep.

Entertainment vids up for quizzers.

I hate hearing about your broken pipe. I hope you don’t have more either.

I got 64%. Foul Play was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen! It was a hard de vision between Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles - both classics! Some great movies in here.

Support Your Local Sheriff is a 100 times better than Support Your Local Gunfighter but that was made in the 1960s

The Sting? Paper Moon? Foul Play? One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? These were comedies?

I've seldom laughed so much as when the two old ladies in Foul Play are playing four-letter words in Scrabble. And then Dudley Moore's desperate wannabe swinger, the reveal of Billy Barty at Hawn's door after she's been ominously warned to "beware of the dwarf".

57% similar. I love What's Up, Doc?. Barbra Streisand's best movie! It's hilarious! And she sings a little bit, too!

67% Similar. Love High Anxiety. Three scenes I thought were hilarious was the patient that had the werewolf phobia and the pain in his neck, the bellboy with the newspaper and killing off Dick Van Patten with loud music.

70% similar.

Can't believe some of these are even on here as comedies. I didn't thnk MASH(the movie) was funny at all, but then it wasn't really intended to be.

The funniest movie of the whole decade, for me... I can't decide between Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Blazing Saddles. Both are hilariously funny, imo.

80%. Choosing between Blazing Saddles & Young Frankenstein - NOT FAIR!!! LOL

I remember a day in French class where we did not learn any French because our teacher's date had taken her to see The Jerk the night before and she could not restrain herself from giving us a blow-by-blow description of this movie, which pretty much took up the entire class.
Wonder if she showed the date what his special purpose was.
