77. The 40-Year Old Virgin (2005)
*See all of the reasons I gave for Anchorman, minus the quotes.*
When this was released a couple of years ago, I thought it was a great movie, but nowhere near Top 100 material. Many of you are probably thinking the same thing. That saying, the reason why it's on my list is because over the times I have watched it on cable and DVD, I have grown to really like the film. I'd say it's one of those "comfort" films for me, as in you can watch it whenever it's on and just sit right down and not care that you've seen it so many times before. That's why it's on my list, and because it's a very funny movie.

*Just to let everyone know, there are a bunch of comedies coming but after this bunch, they get a lot more sparse.*
76. Keeping the Faith (2000)
Like "40", this is another one of those comfort films. The odd thing though is that I'm not religious at all. It's just that it's a really good heartfelt comedy with very good performances by the major three. The major theme of the film though is faith (Could you guess from the title?) and I have to say that I am somewhat of a believer in faith. After all, I am a Red Sox fan.

75. What About Bob? (1991)
The second most underrated comedy of all-time. Bill Murray's performance in this is absolutely brilliant, as well as Richard Dreyfuss. Great film.

74. Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
John Hughes' best film. You can take you Breakfast Club or Pretty in Pink, and I'll just keep Ferreis Bueller's Day Off. This film is any teenager's wet dream, but it's also poignant which is extremely hard to do in a coming of age comedy.

You love the comedies Jmart, all the ones i've seen on the list are decent or watchable.

73. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
So sue me. It's the first Bond film I ever saw in theaters. That aside though, I think it was Brosnan's best in his tenure, because it was his film from beginning to end (Goldeneye was supposed to be Dalton's). And, it's absolutely amazing the film turned out to be as good as it was, since there wasn't finished script when they began shooting.
So why do I like it so much? First there is Brosnan. He's the "badass Bond" in this film, and for this film it suits him perfectly (He was called to do it again for DAD and it failed miserably). The villian is ingenious. He's essentially Bill Gates/Ted Turner with nuclear machinery - and how do we know that those two already don't have some? And although that's completely ludicrous, that's what I find to be brilliant about it. Third, the Bond girls are underrated. I like how Yeoh held her own, and Teri Hatcher circa '97 is hot (She still is).
It's just *one* of my favorite Bond's.

72. Caddyshack (1980)
Harold Ramis Film #2
One of the funniest and most quotable films ever made. If I have to tell you more than that, you either have to see the film for the first time, or refresh your memory and go watch it again.

My theory of everyone hating me is becoming more true by the second.

Good call on TND. I think it's one of the better Bond flicks.
Bueller and Anchorman are classic. Virgin gets better upon repeat viewings. Haven't seen a lot of the rest of your comedies, but the list is much, much better than ChipMunky's.

71. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
I have no other reasoning except that it's just funny. There's nothing "deep" about the film. There's nothing "special" about the film. It's just extremely funny.

70. Back to the Future Part II & III (1989/1990)
Some people look at these as the bastard child's of Part I. I beg to differ. While the magic is somewhat missing from Part I, I found both films to be extremely enjoyable. In Part II, I always found the Hill Valley of 2015 to be amazing to look at (The special effects are just as good today as they were 18 years ago) and I really enjoyed the Doc/Clara relationship from Part III. And like I mentioned once before, I'm a sucker for theme music, and Alan Silvestri's work outside of his main theme is very well done. I especially like his work in Part III.
These are two great films, and both of which I find to be extremely underrated.
Edit: Before I forget, here is a small tribute to the recently (Orlando) and soon to be departed (Hollywood) ride that coincided with the release of these two films.
