What are your favorite comedy movies? (hexbear.net)

I've been thinking of watching some more movies recently and comedies are my favorite genre. However, it's also a genre that's difficult to pull off well, and probably at least somewhat subjective.

So, sneakily asking for recommendations, I'm going to ask what your all time favorite comedy movies are.

I'll share my personal favorites too, as well as some I recently had seen and enjoyed. I'll limit myself to movies that are available in English, otherwise a few Italian movies would also make the list.

Blues Brothers (1980) Mix together a cool retro music act, the Chicago Police Department and Carrie Fisher with a rocket launcher, and what do you get? One of the coolest and most fun movies ever, even if not laugh out loud material.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Love the Bomb (1964) A timeless classic slash terryfing 1960s satire of warmongering that feels still fresh and relevant today, for better or worse.

OSS 117: Cairo, a Nest of Spies (2006) Spy movie parodies are a favorite of mine, and this French movie is one of the best. Taking the reactionary undertones of those old movies, and mercilessly mocking them.

A Shot in the Dark (1964) Fun classic whodunit movie. Not much else to say.

I've seen Palm Springs yesterday, actually. Not too innovative in plot, but entertaining. Was a fun movie.

Also I watched The Big Lebowski last week and I was left thinking it's good, but no masterpiece. But now I look at it differently. It has a vibe few movies have. That Blues Brothers style this is an adventure, and we have sunglasses on. Gotta find more movies like that.
