My favorite: “Fun with Dick and Jane” (2005)

Judging by the number of times I’ve sat and laughed watching a particular movie, I’d also have to pick “Miss Congeniality” as one of the funniest.

“Miss Congeniality 2” was just as funny.

I’ve always viewed that as a bit of a tragedy myself...

The SS soldier playing Mozart while his fellow Leftist thugs slaughtered the hiding Jews was, in an evil ironic way, a clever comedy...Mel Brooks was a master of Nazi humor as well and I suspect Spielberg wanted to challenge him a bit in Schindler's List.

Because Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was famous for his compositions CELEBRATING life.

Sons of the Desert
Some Like It Hot
Bedtime Story

Each one gets funnier as it goes along, and the humor is related to the story, unlike Mel Brooks movies and Airplane-type stuff, though they’re amusing.

“Fun with Dick and Jane” (2005)

You never see the first one these days, the one with George Segal and Jane Fonda from 1977.

LOL! Peter Falk was hilarious in this movie. I found a two disc DVD of the original with the “remake”. Never have watched the remake. I’m one of those who believe you can’t improve upon perfection.
