I think I can only fit like 25 (or 20, don't remember). So that either leaves 4 or 9 spots left.

Mallrats, Dirty Work, Bueller, Swingers, Tommy Boy, Vacation/Christmas Vacation = Yes.

One Adam Sandler, Hot Shots, Austin Powers, Wayne's World, Meet The Parents = Maybe


Um...just some personal suggestions...Super Troopers, Caddyshack, Back to School, Heavyweights, Plaines, Trains and Automobiles, Ghostbusters.

I dunno. Just threw all of that together.

South Park needs to be in it. Plus Fast Times At Ridgemont High.

You also need to see Run Ronnie Run and Top Secret!

I saw Top Secret, it wasn't that funny. Nowhere near Naked Gun.

Also, I saw every episode of Police Squad. Pretty funny. No Naked Gun but pretty funny.

Top Secret was great but comparing it to Naked Gun is unfair. Police Squad is the funniest show ever.
