My all-time favorite is "His Girl Friday". Brilliant, continuous rapid-fire dialogue that makes the movie seem to last about 30 minutes. Another I really like is "My Man Godfrey", the one with William Powell and Carole Lombard-not the remake. "You Can't Take It with You" is also great. I think all of "The Thin Man" films would qualify even though they're mystery-comedy. "Holiday", "Ball of Fire", "Love Crazy", "It Happened One Night", & "The Lady Eve" are all worth seeing. "Talk of the Town" isn't quite as screwy as some of the others, but it's still pretty funny. I don't usually think of "Ninotchka" as a screwball comedy, but Garbo really cracks me up in that film.
