Dragnet was a bad film. Nothing against Dan Ackroyd who was in some ok films without being necessarily one of the reasons they were good. But I don't really like any of Belushi/Ackroyd/Chase/Hanks etc comedy actors of the late seventies/eighties. Sort of acts who came out of Animal House.
Here are some good comedies in the 80s, leaving the Woody Allen films out which go without saying: Spinal Tap, Midnight Run, Pretty in Pink, Naked Gun, Airplane, When Harry Met Sally, A Night in the Life of Jimmy Riordon. Just so I'm not being relentlessly negative.
I always say that everybody's right.
