I haven't seen many of these films...in fact I haven't seen most of them.Of the ones I *have* seen I'd mention Some Like It Hot,The Producers,The Apartment,A Fish Called Wanda,Young Frankenstein,Pulp Fiction and Trading Places.
I,personally,am not inclined to see "Apartment" or "Pulp" as comedies although I think they're outstanding films.Of the others I'd say "Frankenstein" is my favorite.
To: Phlap
"Groundhog Day," seriously? In the Top 5?
Two of my all-time favorite comedies is "Meet the Parents" and "The Heartbreak Kid," both with Ben Stiller. Neither made the list.
Some of these movies have NO business near such a list.

I can’t believe Blazing Saddles isn’t in the top 5.
To: Little Pig
Pulp Fiction was a comedy?
____________________________________
And The Apartment was a comedy?
There were funny moments in each of these movies. But to label them as comedies is incorrect.
To: Phlap
Caddyshack, Animal House and Blazing Saddles not in the top 10? NO SALE!

“The Producers” The ORIGINAL one with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel. Agreed...the original is a genuine classic.The remake was painful to watch.

It was really the Judge that made that movie.
Did you say "Youts"?
Well, that would explain the hostility.

Are you kidding me?? Campy waste of A-list talent on a boring movie.
I totally agree, Some Like It Hot sucks! But these 'film critics', as they like to fashion themselves, love transvestism, think it is wonderful and hilarious and all that...another movie that sucked! but got rave reviews from the 'critic's was that 'Bird Cage' with Robin Williams...really horrible. What happened to 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'? One of my favorite comedies; or how about Animal House? Guess there was not enough homosexuality and deviance in those movies for the 'critics', huh?

C.R. MacNamara: Cigarette? Cigar?
Peripetchikoff: Here, take one of these.
C.R. Macnamara: Thanks. Hm, ‘Made in Havana’.
Peripetchikoff: We have trade agreement with Cuba. They send us cigars, we send them rockets.
C.R. Macnamara: Good thinking.
C.R. MacNamara: You know something? You guys got cheated. This is a pretty crummy cigar.
Peripetchikoff: Do not worry. We send them pretty crummy rockets.
