Top 100 list I've sat through, and this one managed to be the least entertaining of all. Sometimes I am even reminded of a movie that I've been meaning to rent. It's very hard to put The Awful Truth next to Tootsie and say which is funnier.
Comedy is subjective.
Some people might think Tootsie is funnier. I happen to think The Awful Truth is funnier. Another person might think Porky's is the funniest of all. That's just one example of dozens of great films that were on the nomination list, but not screened by voters. So after this flawed process, AFI has a list of movies and three hours of network time.
