The old screwball comedies:
Bringing Up Baby
My Man Godfrey
My Favorite Wife
Also:
Whats Up Doc
Arsenic and Old Lace
To Be or Not to Be (the original Jack Benny-Carol Lombard one)
The Philadelphia Story
Harvey
The Producers (The Original Zero Mostel-Gene Wilder film not the one with Mannered Blahderick).
I never realized most of my favorite comedies are black and white films.

Comedy is my least favorite genre of film, because I don't find them particularly funny. Films I did find very funny are:
It's a Gift with W.C. Fields
The Producers with Zero Mostel
Female Trouble with Divine

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

other good ones were listed, too (as well as some that I wouldn't call funny)
I liked the original Bedazzled with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore
I also enjoyed Being John Malkovich

It takes a lot for a movie to make me laugh, and Waiting for Guffman still delivers every time.
Interesting that Monty Python and the Holy Grail hasn't been mention (has it? I didn't read the thread that closely). I'm actually not a Python fan at all, but it amuses me that the film that certain people I know would call "the ultimate comedy" hasn't even garnered a mention.
