'Annie Hall' Tops WGA's List of 101 Funniest Screenplays Ever

For years there have been rumors of a bootleg cut of an original, much longer version -- titled Anhedonia -- which supposedly was more of a surreal murder mystery than a love story. Please let THR know if you've got a copy.

The 1977 Woody Allen film was followed on the list by Billy Wilder's 'Some Like It Hot.'

Annie Hall was good enough for the Academy voters, and now it passes muster with the Writers Guild as well.

The Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) and the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) released a list Wednesday of the 101 funniest screenplays ever.

The list was topped by the 1977 Woody Allen classic, which previously took home the Oscar for best picture.

In second place on the list of comedy scripts was director Billy Wilder's classic Some Like It Hot (1959), which was named the funniest comedy of all time by the American Film Institute in 2000. Groundhog Day (1993), Airplane! (1980) and Tootsie (1985) rounded out the WGA's top five.

The remainder of the top 10 are as follows, in order: Young Frankenstein (1974), Dr. Strangelove (1964), Blazing Saddles (1974), Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) and National Lampoon's Animal House (1978).

The full list is below, as provided by the WGA, including each film's rank, credited screenwriter(s), year of release and studio.
