This is becoming tougher and tougher. Where I had a split decision, I selected the one that struck me as most iconic or simply the one that has meant the most to me after nearly 50 years of fandom.
BRACKET 1
1 THREE LITTLE BEERS
3 WHO DONE IT?
5 THREE ARABIAN NUTS (Tough choice - I admit I allowed Three Arabian's reputation as Grade A Shemp to give it an edge over Cash & Carry, which I found curious and memorable as a kid)
7 NO CENSUS, NO FEELING
79 VIOLENT IS THE WORD FOR CURLY
11 HOW HIGH IS UP?
13 THEY STOOGE TO CONGA
15 GOOF ON THE ROOF
59 I'LL NEVER HEIL AGAIN
55 YOU NAZTY SPY!
21 WE WANT OUR MUMMY
23 HEAVENLY DAZE
25 THREE SAPPY PEOPLE
27 MOVIE MANIACS
43 TASSELS IN THE AIR
31 CRIME ON THEIR HANDS
# # #
BRACKET 2
2 BRIDELESS GROOM
4 IN THE SWEET PIE AND PIE
6 A PLUMBING WE WILL GO
8 HOI POLLOI
10 DIZZY DOCTORS (Toughest choice of all, to eliminate iconic Men in Black — but Dizzy Doctors is loaded with memorable moments)
12 BOOBS IN ARMS
14 CRASH GOES THE HASH
16 STUDIO STOOPS
18 AN ACHE IN EVERY STAKE
62 PUNCH DRUNKS
22 FUELIN' AROUND
24 DOPEY DICKS
26 MICRO-PHONIES (I've always liked underrated Sitter Downers — which has one of my all time favorite moments of stooge violence — but. . . .)
28 DUTIFUL BUT DUMB (Another tough one: Tricky Dicks is certainly very worthy, but Dutiful is a feast for Curly fans.)
30 DISORDER IN THE COURT
32 PARDON MY SCOTCH
