I'm surprised Being There didn't make their list. I think it's one of the funniest satires ever made, right up there with Dr. Strangelove.
To: Leaning Right
I would put Planes, Trains, and Automobiles in the top 10..
‘Wilmaaaaa’
To: Texas Eagle
Check out #2 on the list. Peter Sellers times three!

I was going to post my favorites but then remembered that “favorite movie” is often a challenge question.

These lists are pretty much meaningless.
I remember my Mother just laughed and laughed at “The Russians Are Coming” X2. I never could figure out what was so funny.
Bob Hope had a bunch which were funnier than several on the list. Also “The Gods Must Be Crazy” did make me laugh out loud several times.

I would put “My Man Godfrey” in the Top 10. Am I one of the few who really liked Mel Brooks’ “Silent Movie”?

Another that should be on the list is the original ‘Police Academy’.

There are so many of the Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd films that are so funny it is hard to find enough talkies to replace them. IT’S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, WORLD is still my top talkie movie for comedy.
What is funny to some will leave others cold. I haven’t seen a modern comedy worth watching in the last 30 years. The 1980s films were the last for me.

An interesting thing about “The General” is it was actually good history in addition to being a farce.

Agree with “Back To School” (Rodney Dangerfield).
Hadn’t seen your other 2 picks.
