Screwball Comedy Poll

[brooklynboy49]

I just thought it'd be fun to conduct a scientific poll to see what our favorite Screwball Comedy is. I think I've included all of the classics, but if I've overlooked any, I'm sure I'll hear about it

So, let's see how this goes. It's a tough choice, these are all worthy contenders and each is a great movie in its own right (IMO, of course).

Here are your choices:

Well, how do ya like that? Only "star members" can create polls. I'm not gonna let that stop me! I'll provide the list I had intended to include, just reply with your answer(s) and comments.

Before giving you the list, let me tell you who gets my vote -- My Man Godfrey. As great as all of these movies are, this choice was easy for me, Godfrey is one of my favorite movies, period. Then again, I could easily say that about any of these.

So, once again, here are the contenders (in no particular order):

My Man Godfrey
Libeled Lady
Bringing Up Baby
It Happened One Night
The Lady Eve

I'm aware that there are quite a few other movies that qualify as "screwball comedies", but I limited the list to what I feel are the five best of the genre. Feel free to write in your favorite if it's not on the submitted list.

I have one final comment -- I have watched You Can't Take It With You two or three times and just didn't care for it. I feel it tries too hard. And fails. That's just my personal opinion, and I suspect I'm gonna hear about it lol.

Anyway, that's why You Can't Take It With You isn't on the list. Others (e.g., Ball of Fire) are absent because, again, solely IMO, as much as I love 'em, they're just not in the same league as the five listed nominees.

Thanks in advance for your participation!
