I was looking for established comedy duos, like the first two entries. Those others are just two comedians paired together for a movie.

844

It might wind up being a short list, then, without repeats. Name 10 different “established comedy duos.” :wink:

845

That’s true, but I thought we would allow multiple entries if we ran out.

846

Your category, after all. Really narrow topics tend to be difficult to get to ten, and stall out – see the number of times “Movies based on SNL sketches” has been a topic.

847

I’m considering letting this play out, as is. I’ll try to reset this topic later.

I didn’t put enough thought into this. I envisioned movies with Martin-Lewis, Burns-Allen, etc. What I wanted to avoid were Will Ferrell-Kevin Hart, or Will Smith-Martin Lawrence buddy movies.
