Gremlins 2: The New Batch (on equal level as the original, except in much different ways);

 Now that's crazy talk!

I never cared much about most of the characters in the original Gremlins, while the sequel makes the original characters more likeable and brings in some fun new ones, like Christopher Lee and John Glover. Plus, I can't help but appreciate that go all out with the crazyness à la Big Trouble in Little China (one of my favorite films). It's admittedly somewhat of a mess, but I think it's much funnier than the original and in some ways more clever, too. Gremlins is equally enjoyable, but mostly because of its effective horror aspects and the christmas vibe that it has. It's not as funny as the sequel, not even close.

Plus, you got to love Brain Gremlin. 

Plus, Joe Dante prefers it as well, so that automatically means I'm right!

Since when is BTTF a comedy?

Wait...Ghostbusters was a comedy as well?! (I didn't find it that funny, honestly. 2.5 out of 5.) 

Speaking of where-do-you-draw-the-line-with-comedies, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I find that a pretty funny flick.
