Everyone loves a good funny movie, and the Writers Guild of America knows that having a definitive list is important. That’s why they awarded the rankings to a hundred screenplays after a panel discussion and clips presentation at the Archlight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood on Wednesday night. The event was hosted by Rob Reiner who joked that it was apropos for the “This is Spinal Tap” script to be named number 11 in the rankings what with the amplifier joke fans of the film will remember well.

The top screenplays on the list won’t surprise many fans of film though their order may. Included in the top ten are “Annie Hall,” “Some Like It Hot,” “Groundhog Day,” “Airplane!“, “Tootsie,” “Young Frankenstein,” “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,” “Blazing Saddles,” “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” and “National Lampoon’s Animal House.” Have you watched all of these movies? They were all made, and they are all classic in the eyes of most film enthusiasts for one reason or another. I’m pretty proud of myself as a film goer that I have actually seen more than my fair share of this entire list.

Some of you will be interested to learn that there are a number of fairly recent screenplays on the list though the majority were written more than a decade ago. “Bridesmaids,” “The Hangover,” and “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” were all listed in the Top 30, and “Best in Show,” “Little Miss Sunshine,” and “Election” all made the list.

Woody Allen‘s “Annie Hall” was named to the number one spot as I noted above, and his other scripts “Sleeper,” “Bananas,” “Take the Money and Run,” “Broadway Danny Rose,” Love and Death,” and “Manhattan” all were listed in the Top 100.

Now, in case you are in the market for an epic watch list for the coming winter (a whole new take on Netflix & Chill, y’all), here are all the winners from one to 100.
