My favorite movie may differ from yours but almost all of us will agree that the above mentioned films are high on our lists.

National Lampoon’s Homo Erectus, the newest film to enter the coveted pantheon of top contenders for greatest motion picture ever made, affects audiences differently. Set in Caveman times, National Lampoon’s Homo Erectus is a comedy about the hapless Ishbo, a neurotic Neanderthal hellbent on inciting an evolution revolution. Written, directed by and starring Adam Rifkin (Ben Hur…Okay not Ben Hur but DETROIT ROCK CITY- hell yeah!), National Lampoon’s Homo Erectus was just named the number one comedy of all time by AFI’s Top 1000 list, beating out such enduring comedy classics as Duck Soup, and Schindler’s List. What? Additionally, National Lampoon’s Homo Erectus is the first motion picture ever to be approved by the FDA as a treatment for Aphonogelia, a medical condition that renders sufferers the lifelong inability to laugh due to a neurological disorder. Doctors and medical experts have recently taken to screening National Lampoon’s Homo Erectus for Aphonogelia patients with astonishing results. “It’s incredible”, gushed Dr. Ivan Itchibum, the nations foremost authority on Aphonogelia at Saint Johns Hopkins, “These are people who’ve physiologically never been capable of laughter. We’ve brought in clowns, staged pie fights, tickle parties, I’ve even tried prancing around the ward in a thong while smearing egg salad all over myself. Nothing! Then one of our stoner residents suggested that we try screening National Lampoon’s Homo Erectus for the Aphonogeliacs.” Dr. Itchibum continues, “The results were nothing short of miraculous, they were laughing! I can’t over emphasize the importance of what that means, they were actually laughing! All of us on the team were in tears, it was just such a wonderful and moving experience. Adam Rifkin isn’t just a cinema God…he’s a bloody miracle worker!” Now that’s an endorsement.

Which is why, aside from being considered for an honorary Oscar for the upcoming 2009 Academy Awards ceremony for invaluable contributions to the craft of cinema, the behind the scenes scuttlebutt is that Rifkin may finally be in the running for that long deserved Nobel Prize he’s so richly been deserving of since Detroit Rock City. Rifkin remains modest though, “I just try to make the best movie I can each and every time”, Rifkin said in a recent interview for Juggs Magazine, “Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t, who am I kidding…They always work. And sometimes I guess they save millions of lives and change the tapestry of our very culture. I wasn’t out to seismicly shift the teutonic plates of all media, pop culture and world history with National Lampoon’s Homo Erectus, I just wanted to make a funny little caveman movie with a few pretty girls and some poo poo jokes. Imagine my surprise when I’m getting calls from The President saying that I’ve done this country and the world a great and valuable service. Who’da thunk it?”

Debate resolved! If saving lives, securing borders, influencing nations and revolutionizing medicine are at all to be considered as applicable factors, this reporter (as well as countless critics groups, film boards, cinema schools and motion picture preservation societies) sees no further discussion necessary, National Lampoon’s Homo Erectus is officially the greatest motion picture ever made! Oh, and there’s tits in it too. So RUN don’t walk to your nearest moving picture house and see NATIONAL LAMPOON’S HOMO ERECTUS. In theaters July 11^th and on DVD November 11^th.
