"Ever Done Time, Doc?"

Welcome to The Rusty Scalpel, my contribution to the betterment of mankind through my invaluable insight and one-eyed opinions on the things that REALLY matter in life... rock, blokes' films, sport (with a strong rugby flavour - league and union), and life. Being a doc, and a closet Chevy Chase fan, I thought it appropriate to kickstart this page with a classic Fletch one-liner, check out the link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfzXpE0QB2U . Chevy is without question one of the funniest human beings ever to grace the earth with his piss-taking and razor-sharp wit, and the Fletch flicks were unquestionably the cream of the Chase crop. Yes, I hear you, the Vacations were right up there, (at least the first two), but the Chev was at his wise-assed peak as the irrepressible Irwin Fletcher. There has been loose talk for nearly 2 decades of a Fletch prequel ('Fletch Won') with Chase and Kevin Smith linked originally, and Matt Damon and Brad Pitt pencilled in the lead at various stages, but now on the Miramax backburner. (And without Chase, that's probably for the best).

On that note... here's the 10 funniest flicks of all-time...

1. The Wedding Crashers


3. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure/Bogus Journey 

4. Flying High

5. Fletch/Fletch Lives

6. Anchorman

7. The Naked Gun


9. Zoolander

10. Wayne's World

For maximum appreciation of the 'Bill and Ted' flicks, try the ultimate drinking game- "Dude Skulls"... from memory there are around 158 "Dude" quotes in the original Bill and Ted... although admittedly after the first 50, the records became a little hazy...

Till next time, kids...
