These are comedies which should include comedy routines. Therefore, my choice is :

"Who's on First" by Abbott and Costello........The greatest comedy skit evah............

For us, “Office Space” is near the top. But maybe a person had to experience some years as a cube rat to really appreciate it.

Mr. Mercat and I are going to watch these in the order they are listed, skipping a few like any Woody Allen movies. We watched some like it hot last night. It was well done, entertaining but probably a lot funnier in the 60s.
