Pulp Fiction? Dayam...
These lists are always a little silly; there's no real metric for humor. I'd probably add Ruthless People, another Zucker Brothers project. I'm not a Marx Brothers fan, but I'm a little surprised not to see their names in there somewhere.

Bookmarking for additional Freeper suggestions. Mine is “The Ladykillers” with Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness.

Groundhog Day is a very underrated movie. I'm not surprised to see it so high.
The DVD version has an interview with the late Harold Ramis, who directed the movie. He cites a survey that was done some years after the movie was released, in which this movie was selected as the one movie of its generation that would still be considered a timeless classic even a hundred years from now.

More on “One, Two, Three...”
That movie was made just as they were building Berlin Wall.
Difficulties forced them to move to Munich.

I’d put Bananas or Sleeper over Annie Hall.

The most underrated Zucker Brothers movie, “BASEketball”.
It’s silly, but it made me laugh a lot. Don’t know why Parker and Stone hate on it so much.

My favorite, “Office Space”, at least made the list — #80.

Here’s a question: How many of those could get made today?

“When Harry Met Sally”?
Oh my gosh! I’d gauge my eyes out before I’d watch that again. I got tricked into seeing that in 1989. Not funny at all!

Some odd choices!
I just saw Annie Hall in a revival house in NYC last month and very young women were walking out on it. “Sexist! Bigoted!” They screamed.
It’s still his best movie. So funny.

The only good Woody Allen movies are “Take the Money and Run” and “Bananas”.

You can say that but then you probably believe the Loch Ness monster was Jack the Ripper, don’t you?

Other than the obvious comedies .. Blazing Saddles, Animal House, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Galaxy Quest .. that I always come back to to re-watch, there are a few other movies that I didn't see that make my list: Court Jester and Inspector General (Danny Kay), both versions of "To Be or Not To Be" (Jack Benny in 1942 and Mel Brooks in 1983), The Villain (Kirk Douglas), The Great Race (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) and Prisoner of Zenda (1979, with Peter Sellers).
However, there is one movie out there that I truly enjoy that I believe that I am the only person who ever watched it: Undercover Blues - 1993 - Kathleen Turner, Dennis Quaid, and Stanley Tucci.

Not true. Annie Hall, Manhattan, Hannah and her Sisters are classics.

“Raising Arizona” with an honorable mention to the hugely underrated “Used Cars”
