There are many good comedies contained in this series but I am at a loss as to how people included some of them. Some thoughts:

Negative:
- There a too many hippie comedies from the 70s in here that are not funny. (Generally the 70s comedies are the weakest except for Mel Brooks and American Graffiti). We get five different Woody Allen movies here. Five! Meanwhile Bob Hope only gets one, the Road to Morocco, so at least while they made a good decision choosing which one to include there was no reason to stop there. Bob Hope is way funnier than Woody Allen.
- Be warned, there is a bizarre obsession with cross-dressing comedies. Some Like It Hot might have been funny but do we really need to see that concept used over and over again? I don't think so.
- No John Hughes movies? That really doesn't make sense.
- One, Two, Three should 100% be included, at the very least they could have replaced Ninotchka with it. At best take off one of those Woody Allen things.
Positive:
- Nice to see all the Marx Brothers comedies. Those definitely hold up.
- Thank goodness they didn't forget about Danny Kaye. Actually, they do a pretty good job in covering at least one film from all major comedians, just some of them who get only one deserve more.
