First, I have to share how difficult it was to come up with only 10 movies to write about. It was just as difficult to figure out a ranking system between these 10 movies so I decided to eliminate it all together. The only criteria I had was that it had to have been released within the last 10 years (that's 1997 - 2007 for you geniuses out there) and it had to be a movie I could watch over and over again and still laugh just as hard. And with that, let me begin!

1. Old School (2003)

I don't know what to say to you if you don't like this movie. It is perhaps my all-time favorite comedy over the past 10 years. Actually -- I think it is. I can laugh at this movie every time I watch it. What's even funnier is the commentary included. With a cast that includes Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell and Luke Wilson, how can you go wrong? The movie focuses around Wilson's character as he is dubbed "The godfather" of an adult fraternity. Jeremy Piven even pokes his head in the movie as a tight ass dean. It's a great movie with unforgettable one-liners that I've repeated over and over again since the movie was released. And just to let you know, there is an Old School Dos in the work. That's right, watch out for the sequel, baby!

2. Road Trip (2000)

I wasn't too wild about the cast but this movie definitely gets the job done. This movie is a crazy comedy with unfathomable situations. As I've watched the movie more and more, I can't help but laugh at the antics and all the insanity these guys go through. The movie is centered around Breckin Meyer's character as Josh Parker. He mistakenly sends his long distance girlfriend a tape of him cheating on her with Amy Smart's character, Beth. Josh's friends come along with him because, well, it's a road trip! And who can give that up?

3. National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002)

For me I really appreciate Will Ferrell so I probably include Talledega Nights, and yeah - I'd have Wedding Crashers in there too. Harold and Kumar was solid - I rolled my eyes at the cheetah stuff, but okay I'll give'em a little. For me Starsky & Hutch just doesn't stand out. I dunno why.

I'll agree that Old School deserves to be on the list, but I was never a big fan of "the 40-year-old virgin". And you have to see "Knocked Up" because that deserves to be on this list for sure.

Super troopers should be higher on the list. Also I think beerfest is hilariously funny. I know hilariously funny is a bit redundant.
