Rich Eisen’s Power Rankings: Top Ten 80’s Comedy Movies | The Rich Eisen Show

[@gdjets]

Leslie Neilson calling strikes before the ball gets to the plate, has me in tears just thinking of it 🤣🤣🤣

[@LBlucher13]

"Caddyshack" is a deserving #1. But, three classics I would have to include on this top ten would be "Stripes," "Vacation" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

[@erik5024]

100000% agree on this. Also, I prefer Airplane! Over the naked gun series, especially since it was a nearly line-for-line remake of Zero Hour, but such a unique take.

[@dskwared2u610]

I was a teenager of the 80's and I love the list but I have a particular affection for Princess Bride. I found just an occasion today for "inconceivable". "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

[@rnorth8812]

But The Princess Bride is not a comedy. It is a fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles movie. In this list, the best movie ever.

[@andrewwalsh531]

Planes, Trains, & Automobiles!

[@ericscottstevens]

Yup my #1 of the decade, followed by A Christmas Story. Both holiday movies to boot.

[@mikegrizwold2522]

The scene where Steve martin is cussing out the rental car agent is the best!

Came here to say this! I’ve watched this almost every year since I was a kid and I’m nearing 40. It’s my favorite comedy film of all time. For the longest time, 40-Year-Old Virgin was right there with it, but I watched it recently and it doesn’t quite hold up as well as I thought. Still good though. But PT&A has never gotten old in the 30+ years I’ve been watching it!

Agree. Take "Fletch" out completely, replace it with "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". The problem: What do you take off to replace with "Ghostbusters"? See, I know what Rich was doing...he didn't want to duplicate stars. Bill Murray could have easily had three spots in the list. "Caddyshack" was the safe option because it was truly an ensemble cast, even though I believe "Ghostbusters" was slightly better. Could I bump "Midnight Run" to get "Ghostbusters" on the list? I could...

I can go years without watching it and still remember lines from it. "Spaulding, you'll get nothing and like it."

Where Rich really went off the rails, however, was with Chevy Chase. That man does not have a funny bone in his entire body - not even in his elbow. He was the only unfunny thing about Caddyshack.

[@adrock1011]

Certainly a better list… imo

[@billcunningham8485]

Further proof that Rich and I could hang out. I do not disagree with the list… much respect starting the list with Midnight Run. I watch it at least once a year…

[@norrinradd9206]

NO SPINAL TAP, NO LIST!!!!!

[@Shlikas]

How could he leave this behind?

[@norrinradd9206]

Yah, I mean talk about quotable.

[@ronshouse4205]

"The Blues Brothers" is my hands-down favorite movie of ALL TIME. It just never gets old....would be my #1 on this list. John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, Carrie Fisher, John Candy, James Brown, Twiggy, Steve Lawrence, Pee-Wee Herman, John Lee Hooker, and on and on....the producers looked at Paul Schafer of "Letterman" fame to be the keyboard player, but he had other contractual obligations and wasn't available. Akroyd: "We're on a mission from God." Aretha: "Don't you blaspheme! Don't you blaspheme in here!!!!!!!" I could spend the next 3-4 hours citing lines.....Cab Calloway: "Boys, you got to learn not to speak to nuns that way." Barkeep at Bob's Country Bunker when asked what kind of music they play: "We have both kinds! Country AND western!" I would have also added "Christmas Vacation," 1989.....Randy Quaid: "Shitter's full!" Then Chevy Chase looks at Beverly D'Angelo and in a totally deadpan straight voice asks "Honey, have we checked our shitters??"

[@Jahwobbly]

Raising Arizona, Spinal Tap, Repo Man and Airplane. Thank you for including Fast Times. Naked Gun and Caddy Shack can drop off. When Harry Met Sally and Say Anything are two best rom-coms.

[@zorak1997]

No "Raising Arizona", "Airplane!", "Ghostbusters" or "Gremlins"? This man doesn't understand comedy.

[@mizer9510]

Raising Arizona is so good

[@jojopuppyfish]

I think its a quality list but I have my own personal list. I like Eisen's passion for his list.

[@ezmusicman2671]

No Richard Pryor? Stir Crazy 1980.

[@jadakid6942]

Hard to argue with that list Rich. Nice picks. Personally I’d get rid of Back To School and add Three Amigos but solid list.

[@captian-ue7pd]

Best top 10 rich has EVER put together love you guys please make more

[@lyletuck]

I'm down with all of Eisen's Top 5, but I can't ignore the absolute greatness that is Airplane! I don't have them in the same order, either. Rich's 6-10 don't work for me, though. I have Zero Hour! oops, I mean Airplane! as my #1, and in my Top 10 I've also got Stripes, Better Off Dead, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and Raising Arizona. Fletch and Midnight Run can ALMOST make my short list, but Back To School, Naked Gun, and Mr. Mom just don't rank all that highly for me.

[@pdh7722]

Respect to Rich. Although I don't agree with all his choices, he's pretty close to nailing it!
