Another Resend of a TOP TEN from Feb., 2008… this one TOP TEN COMEDIES ( I’ve added  2 from 2009 at bottom)

 

Here we go with my next top ten movies of all time and the category is COMEDIES.  Most are after 1960, and perhaps, surprisingly, there is only one in my top ten more recent than 1998 ( three with my update).  In my list I  give the year the movie first played. They are in descending order of best/favorite with my best being #1. I couldn’t quite narrow it  down to just ten, so I’ve fudged a little and have listed a 3-way tie for #10.
