Top 50 FAVORITE Movies #10-8

Yes the time has finally come! We have gone through 39 total movies and have at long last reached The Top 10. With the Top 10 I'll be doing three movies per entry and to end it I'll have one entire blog dedicated to my Number One movie. So lets not waste any more time and take a lookat My 10th, 9th, and 8th favorite movies of all time.

Well... yeah. This was kind of an obvious choice seeing as the title is also my username. But it might be kind of surprising to some of you that this is only Number 10. But seriously, that's still pretty good. Blazing Saddles is one of those movies that's just kind of made for me. It's a Mel Brooks comedy that satires westerns and Gene Wilder as a lone gunslinger. What more could I ask for? Blazing Saddles is one of the few comedies that gets everything right. I can't really think of any jokes in this movie that aren't affective and don't make me laugh. It's that funny! But not only does this movie satire my favorite movie genre, it also makes fun of Hollywood itself. But that's really only in the climax. There aren't many movies that are this wild and chaotic that really work, but this certainly does and remains one of my all time favorite comedies.

Ahhh, The Marx Brothers. How I love you guys. I think that if you want a guaranteed laugh, youshould just get any ofThe Marx Brothers' movies and you'll get exactly what you want. But if you want one of the best, then Duck Soup is one of your best options. For those of you who think thatback in the 1930's people didn't havea sense of humor and didn't know comedy, then you clearly haven't seen Duck Soup. You could find all of today's best comedians and get them to have a conversation in a room filledwithpeople who are high, and that still wouldn't be nearly as funny as Duck Soup. The movie itself isactually a lot like Dr. Strangelove. It's asatire of war and nations that are always goinginto war. And it does it very cleverly, butwhile still being a goofy comedy. It also has one of the greatest comedy bits of all time, which is pictured above. I doubt that most of you have seen thisfilm, but I veryhighly recommend it.

This is my favorite movie of the past decade hands down. It's a lot like Blazing Saddles in the sense that it's a perfect match for me. It's a comedy set during the Great Depression, about three escaped convicts trying to find a treasure and reunite George Clooney's character with his family. This was the first Coen Brothers movie that I ever saw, and it really showed me how those two are modern film geniuses. It's just a sort of feel good movie that just a lot of fun to watch. This is one of the few movies that my entire family loves andeveryoenconsiders it to be one of their all time favorites.Weall go around quoting it and no matter how many times we repeatthe lines, we still laugh. It's just a very fun movie that's both historically significant as well as one of my favorite comedies. It also has one of my favorite musical scenes of all time.

Numbers 7,6, and 5 will be revealed within the next few days.
