(12,753 posts)It's tough a call to single out my favorite but Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel together can't be matched, IMHO. I like all the other Mel Brooks comedies, especially Young Frankenstein, the Marx Brothers, especially The Cocoanuts and Monkey Business, Woody Allen's comedies, especially Broadway Danny Rose and Zelig, as well as Arsenic and Old Lace, The Pink Panther, Being There, and Dr. Strangelove.

Kung Fu Hustle is hilarious in a unique Hong Kong way.
Dumb and Dumber and The Mask are guilty pleasures.
