The Thin Man series is hard to classify, is it crime/mystery or comedy? It certainly stood out for the cleverly sarcastic repartee of the two characters, Nick and Nora Charles, expertly played by William Powell and Myrna Loy. The first two in the series are the best; the thin man actually refers to a victim, not to William Powell, and the dog Asta is the true scene stealer of the series. In all honesty, I like the series for its
bizarre romance (he's always leaving her with ex-cons he helped put away), but without their humor they would be droll mysteries indeed.

I don't know how to reactive to somebody who, with what appears, with forethought and malice, creates a list of the worlds's best comedy films with entries including Beetlejuice, City Slickers

Parenthood (Honest I thought When Harry meet Sally and comedy was an oxymoron) and yet excludes Life of Brian.
