1: This movie could really be 1 through 5 for me I like it that much
2: This is what I'd call a sleeper- Steve Martin (as a faith healer) less manic than usual and imho much funnier with Debra Winger (as his manager) too
3: A classic
4: Has it's serious side but to me a comedy
5: See #3
6: I really like John Waters movies though some are easier to take than others- these 2 are more accesible than his earlier stuff-

There are not enough good comedies made-- life is serious enough and I for one appreicate a good laugh. This is my "A" list-- funny movies that go just that much further and become more than just funny.... A "B" list will follow.
