Edward,

Well, if that's what you remember the most maybe you secretly like that he most.

Well "Fargo" actually has a lot of dark humor, it's a critical element in that movie. Not a comedy though. "Pulp Fiction" is just on this list to trigger the internet I think.

I guess these are what millennials and zoomers call "intelligent comedies." We used to just call them "funny movies."

I saw Ghostbusters in theaters when I was eight, and the only joke that went over my head was Dan Aykroyd getting head from a ghost while Ray Parker Jr. sang the line: "Bustin' makes me feel good."
