Some Like it Hot doesn't hold up IMO to modern eyes. That's the problem with lists like this - if you're 65 and you saw some of these when they come out they may have been laugh out loud hilarity.

Blazing Saddles was hilarious to me when I was 12 or so but I tried to re-watch it and shut it off about 5 minutes after the sheriff held a gun to himself. That slap-stick shtick doesn't fly anymore. Young Frankenstein holds up somewhat better for me as does the Producers (original) and to me this is the best of MB's films.

I'd have to re-watch Annie Hall but wasn't overly impressed with it when I originally saw it.

I don't really view Tootsie as a comedy - more of a dramedy.

I'd put Planes, Trains, and Automobiles above most of these just because I travel so much I can relate.

I'd also put Office Space up there after having worked in mind numbing cubicles and when I was last at a Wal-Mart - the poor check-out girl must have had 20 pieces of flair - and I was both laughing and rolling my eyes at it at the same time.

here are a bunch I would take over many on that list.

In Bruges
Inglorious Bastards
Hot Fuzz/Shaun of the Dead
Fargo
Vacation
When Harry Met Sally
Ghostbusters
There's Something About Mary
My Cousin Vinny
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
ZombieLand
Election
Juno
Slap Shot (I'm Canadian Eh?)
