John Landis can't give us his top 5 comedies of all time

John Landis has directed a number of noteworthy comedies in his career, including The Blues Brothers, Coming To America, and Trading Places. We thought it appropriate to get Landis’ picks for the five best comedies of all time, but he wasn’t having it. In the video above, he schools us on the concept of numbered lists.
