--Anything that you would add or subtract?

I personally didn't find Blazing Saddles to be funny. I wasn't offended by it. The juvenile humor just didn't appeal to me.

Pineapple Express

Animal House.

I just watched It Happened One Night, number 3 on the list.

It is an excellent movie, but it didn't strike me as a comedy movie. It didn't make me laugh.

A funnier one of the same era, and that is also a love story, is It Started with Eve, starring Charles Laughton and Deanna Durbin. That one is well worth watching.

The Ladykillers (1956 British film starring Sir Alec Guinness)

Restricting myself to ten, in no particular order.
1. Hot Fuzz (2007)
2. What We Do in the Shadows (2014)
3. Wayne's World (1992)
4. The Loneliest boy in the World (2022)
5. Groundhog Day (1993)
6. The Artist (2011)
7. The Strong Man (1926)
8. The Cat and the Canary (1927)
9. Safety Last! (1923)
10. list all the Buster Keaton's silent films, place the titles on a wall, put on a blindfold, and throw a dart.

There are so many.

One of my favorite moments from Blazing Saddles

Its an unpopular opinion but I've always found Waynes World 2 far funnier than the original.

I do enjoy Airplane!

I also really like Wet Hot American Summer.
