Personally I think CJ is #1. Even if it’s a little slow to start. It’s just too perfect after that. So many quotables, never mind the perfect timing in acting by Danny Kaye. (Before I saw this, generally “Inspector General” was considered his best.)
SLIH is a good movie. It is decently funny, but not riotously on a constant basis (and like CJ, also has a “long” slow start, complete with killings).
I love the jokes and the put-ons in SITR. My God, I can’t believe Lina Lamont doesn’t have a whole line of promotionals and never has. Talk about quotable! “I make more money than...than Calvin Coolidge! Put togither!”
I don't know if I would go #1, but it certainly deserves to be in the top 10. Yes, Danny Kaye was absolutely hilarious, and the script was awesome. I have watched it over and over again throughout my life. It is a fine example of comedy at it's best.

Maybe back when it was made it was cutting edge funny, but for someone of my age group, already jaded by mobster movies and shows with cross dressing in them, it just didn't work. I guess the gag of men dressing as women had already been worn out on me, and I just didn't really see the humor in it.

I have actually yet to see "singing in the rain." I have always intended to see it, but I just haven't so far.
