Awesome job. A quick note: back away from the mic another 4.83" and you'll get rid of those pesky pops on your plosives. Keep up the good, and popless, work!
Mine are 1. Caddyshack 2. Fast Times At Ridgemont High 3. Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure 4. Bull Durham 5. Major Lague 6. Fletch 7. This Is Spinal Tap 8. Airplane! 9. Top Secret 10. Pee Wee's Big Adventure
Great list, Fish called Wanda was brilliant, but I would have loved a honorable mention list! I think the only movie I saw just once was Spinal tap! Could have turned this list backwards and still have nailed it!
Spaceballs? I’m a huge Mel fan but that can’t even hold a candle to his earlier work. I would put in Ghost Busters or Back to the Future over SB’s. Other than that, I don’t have too many disagreements, I think I would have found space for Animal Houses Vacation or Stripes…. Princesse Bride is one of my favorite movies but not sure it’s a comedy…
Spinal Tap may be the greatest Comedy ever made so good call. Haven't seen Fish Called Wanda in a long time. Kevin Kline was one of the first actors to move effortlessly between drama and comedy with equal greatness.would have dropped some of these in favor of, The Sure Thing, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels or Ghost Busters.
That's about the worst list of 80s comedy movies. How about the following: Airplane!!!!????? Blues Brothers!!!!! Caddyshack!!!!! Ghostbusters???!!!!! (how can this movie be left off, its probably the funniest movie of the past 50 years). Revenge of the Nerds??? Ruthless People????!!!!! Vacation????!!!!!!!! Christmas Vacation??!!@!! Twins??!!! Stripes!!!!???? Big Trouble in LIttle China!!!!!
Rob Reiner in the 80s was unstoppable
So true. The man doesn’t get nearly enough respect for making movies that appeal to a wide audience. Meathead.
Another 80’s comedy that was great “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”
Excellent list. I would have found room for All of Me: Steve Martin’s performance is one of the greatest pieces of physical comedy ever.
I love that you included Better Off Dead. I remember watching and saying
"This is not just another teen flick."

5. Major Lague
6. Fletch
7. This Is Spinal Tap
8. Airplane!
9. Top Secret
10. Pee Wee's Big Adventure
bonus points! 10 is just not enough
Good list. Skin Deep would top my 1980s comedy list. John Ritter's brilliant mix of physical comedy and vulnerability is unmatched.
I loved Charles Grodin. He was one of a kind.
"why did you kiss my ear?"
"why are you holding my hand?"
"where's your other hand?"
"between two pillows"
"those aren't pillows!"
😂😂😂😂
Midnight run has been in my top 5 movies of all time, for a long time, and nothing has come along and knocked it off yet.
Great list, Fish called Wanda was brilliant, but I would have loved a honorable mention list! I think the only movie I saw just once was Spinal tap! Could have turned this list backwards and still have nailed it!
I saw Spinal Tap several times before I caught the reference to the concert on 'The Isle of Lucy'
Own all of them on blu ray, and THIS IS SPINAL TAP on Dvd. BETTER OFF DEAD, MIDNIGHT RUN I've never seen but I'm going to check them out. Thanks
Title should have been "...HOLLYWOOD movies."
I assume you're aware nearly every country has a movie industry?
My top 3 are Big, Coming to America and Moscow on the Hudson

Where's Ghostbusters and Crocodile Dundee. I'd also put Wanda higher on the list. It is a perfect comedy.
The Princess Bride is my favorite movie.
No Airplane? Next..
It came out early in 1980 so that might explain it? Great comedy, but this is a very good list. That decade produced some real gems in the genre.
I thought the same thing. What does it coming out early in 1980 got to do, got to do with it.
good list, although i would remove Moonstruck and Better off Dead and replace them with Airplane and Stir Crazy.
PT&A has the best use of the word fuck in the history of cinema
Good picks, but I'd put Moon Struck much higher
I only liked 2 out of 10 and you left out a Classic AIRPLANE.
There's a difference between funny & stupid.
Was “Used Cars” an 80’s movie?
That's about the worst list of 80s comedy movies. How about the following:
Airplane!!!!?????
Blues Brothers!!!!!
Caddyshack!!!!!
Ghostbusters???!!!!! (how can this movie be left off, its probably the funniest movie of the past 50 years).
Revenge of the Nerds???
Ruthless People????!!!!!
Vacation????!!!!!!!!
Christmas Vacation??!!@!!
Twins??!!!
Stripes!!!!????
Big Trouble in LIttle China!!!!!
Ghostbusters
Ghostbusters??!!??
