The Bank Dick.

Quite a few I would not have listed (e.g., "Serial Mom," "Wet and Wild Summer" anything with Adam Sandler or Will Ferrel). I would have replaced some of these with the following:

Bringing Up Baby, Snatch, Go!, Thank You for Smoking, Top Secret!, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Steve Martin version), What's Up Doc?, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Mr. Blanding Builds His Dream House, You and Me and Everyone We Know and Play it Again Sam. If social commentary films, like "The Apartment" can make the list (yes, I think it is funny), why not something like "Fight Club"? I wonder if the list should include unintentionally comedic films, like "Point Break."

I surely would have included in a must-see list something unusual like "Brazil" even if I did not find it all that funny.

No French comedies (e.g., The Dinner Game)?
