In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

It's a great shout. I'd forgotten all about it and it doesn't tend to come up on comedy lists when you Google them.
1. The Apartment
2. The Great Dictator
3. The General
4. Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail
5. Scott Pilgrim vs the World
Going for oldies here, if only to remind people that they exist I guess, cause those first three won't be making it through for sure. Groundhog Day and Ghostbusters would have been next on my list, and. Spinal Tap, The Big Lebowski, and Being John Malkovich would have been good calls as well. I loved Eternal Sunshine, but it's more for the Drama category in my view.
Oh, and New Kids Turbo of course!

I think Romance and Comedy should be separated btw.

I wrestled with including your 3rd choice dude. One of my all time favourites. Such a cool film top to bottom.
A lot of votes for In Bruges. If you liked that film then you would probably also really like The Guard (both starring Brendan Gleeson). I felt I could only put one of them on my list so just went with the lesser known of the two.
1. Ghostbusters
2. The Royal Tenenbaums
3. The Big Lebowski
4. Anchorman
5. The Nice Guys
2. The Royal Tenenbaums
3. The Big Lebowski

So just to be clear, if I vote for The Dark Knight this round, it’s a wasted vote?
Original > remake (though I did like Nathan Lane).
Also, if you've never seen Airplane before you vote in this round, watch it first. 
I've never had so many "Oh, so that's where that line comes from" moments watching a film.

As if you need to ask!
- The Producers (original)
- Modern Times
- Airplane
- Eternal sunshine……
- There’s something about Mary

Must have watched it 10+ times but never gets old. When Springtime for Hitler comes on, I start laughing straight away… the lyrics, the dance ‘formation’ and the audience‘s faces
You can vote whatever you want but no one else will vote it and it's wasted.
1. Liar Liar
2. In Bruges
3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
4. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
5. Snatch
Anchorman, Stepbrothers, Airplane, The Big Lebowski, Burn After Reading, Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary, Happy Gilmore, Crazy Stupid Love, The Wolf of Wall Street, Zombieland, Adventureland, In the Loop, Four Lions, Hot Fuzz - need to leave out lots of favourites. Burn After Reading probably closest to getting in. Maybe.
Tropic Thunder and Scott Pilgrim are utterly terrible. As long as they don't get through I'll likely be happy with what does.

I thought The Departed was far superior to Infernal Affairs.

I don't think we would be friends in real life
Shaun of the dead? (comedy AND a romance)
Comedy or romance though? Makes all the difference. (Thatsthejoke.gif?)
Darn I missed the crime genre.
These two shouldn't be combined imo.

Small suggestion @Dirty Schwein
Lets make a bonus "free" round before the knock round. A lot of great movies will ultimately fail to make the cut. Whether of genre overlap or other reasons. This will give everybody an opportunity to partially correct difficult (or dumb) choices. Everybody would be able to nominate 5 movies regardless of genre.

Let me think about it. Thanks for the suggestion. I need to figure out how it feeds into the rest of the contest but it's something I've thought about myself too and trying to work it in.
Maybe a 'best of the rest' vote? Take 2 or 3 movies that missed out in each round and let us rank them? Top 3 go through or something.
Easily so
Wow. There's posts that can be likened to car crashes, and then there's this.
- Caddyshack
- Dazed and Confused
- In Bruges
- Big Lebowski
- Karate Kid

Agreed. I think this is a great idea.
Used to love Anchorman but I don't think it's aged very well.
My favorite list so far, barring my own. All of these make it into my Top 10 but I had to cut a few.
