This one absolutely had me in stitches! There were moments I didn't like, such as the cussing, the brief nudity, the sex jokes. However, from opening Jaws takeoff to the plane at gate 36, 37, 38, it is hilarious.

Maybe it isn't the best comedy of all time, but I liked it. I saw it in the theater with ending "A", which is the final ending of the three shown together. And to make a long comment short . . . too late!

Excellent comedy, with an upbeat ending that makes one feel good.

My introduction to pop art. Dick Van Dyke is in his best form in a family movie about a hit-man . . . make that an actor impersonating a hit-man.
The Raven [VHS]The Raven [VHS]
Buy used from: $3.55
A movie starring Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, and Peter Lorre, along with Jack Nicholson, is one of my favorite comedies? Peter Lorre steals the show, and this picture gives the impression the actors are having the time of their lives.

Currently my third favorite comedy of all time (replaced by Miss Congeniality). While I wasn't sold on the ending, I thought the picture was absolutely hilarious.
That Darn Cat!That Darn Cat!
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $7.98
My all-time favorite comedy, including one of my favorite actors, Frank Gorshin.
Wag the Dog (New Line Platinum Series)Wag the Dog (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $1.98
This comedy is pointed, satirical, sometimes vulgar (unnecessarily so) and absolutely hilarious. Dustin Hoffman earned his Oscar nomination, and Robert De Niro did a great straight man.
Without a ClueWithout a Clue

A great twist on the Sherlock Holmes legend. The great actors Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley prove they can do comedy as well as drama.

The classic comedy. How can it not be on my list?
