    Best Ever Nominations: Comedy

    I have an idea to hold the first-ever HPotd Greatest Movie of All-Time Tournament.

    This will be split into five categories: Best Comedy, Best Horror, Best Drama, Best Action, and Best Animated.

    The first step is nominations. Posters are encouraged to nominate movies (however many you want) in each category's thread. Once we get a field, the movies will be randomly grouped, and voted on in a series of polls. Winners advance, until we are left with one true winner in each category.

    Once we have our five winners, it will be one winner-take-all poll!

    Up first, the Comedy nominees.

    I'll go first (since I made the thread, and all):

    - Back to the Future
    - Clerks
    - Nothing to Lose
    - Wild Hogs

    i'll second the big lebowski and hot fuzz.

    i'm not a big fan of comedy but here goes:

    blazing saddles
    up in smoke
    zoolander-completely idiotic but still funny.
