Funniest Footie related film: "Mike Bassett, England Manager" (not counting Albion's three Wembly appearances 
)
Others: Films with Richard Pryor (Strir Crazy excellent), Steve Martin (Trains Planes and Automobiles), John Clease (Clockwise) et. etc.

somewhat taken aback that three of my guilty pleasures didn't make the list
Zoolander
Deuce Bigelow
&
Cool Runnings
and the absence of Raizing Arizona and The Big Lebowski is a f***ing DISGRACE

Was 'WILT' any good? I read the book, which was classic - never saw the film.
Same with 'Catch 22'

And number 1...
Brian's mother: He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy!
Brian: I'm not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly!
Girl: Only the true Messiah denies His divinity.
Brian: What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right! I am the Messiah!
Followers: He is! He is the Messiah!
Brian: Now, f*** off!
[silence]
Arthur: How shall we f*** off, O Lord?

Like all these lists, they're ridiculously loaded in favour of recent films: how many films on the list are more than 20 years old? Seven? Eight? I can't be bothered to count but it's not many.
The trouble with such lists is that they're not made up by the general public but by people with access to the Internet and time to fill in such surveys.
A list that has only one Marx Brothers, no Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel and Hardy or WC Fields on it is a very strange list. And one that doesn't include Bringing up Baby (the film that I imagine would vie with Some Like it Hot for number one if the list was drawn up by film critics) is downright bizarre.
And what is the appeal of Austin Powers, a one-joke movie? And not a funny one at that.

Disappointed to see that 'Animal House' and the original 'Producers' didn't even make the top 40.
No mention at all of 'Flesh Gordon'

Where the f*** was the Big Lebowski? Easily the funniest film made in the last 20 years.
And I agree about it being far too reliant on more recent films. American Pie beating Some Like It Hot is absolutely laughable.
And the fact Shaun of the Dead made it to number 3 just shows you exactly the sort of people who've been voting on it. Good film, and I'm a big fan of Simon Pegg, but it's hardly up there with Airplane
