Best non-English language comedies?
I didn't see this previously discussed via a search so what are some of your favorites/recommendations?
And because someone likely will.. excluding silent movies.

Welcome Back, Mr. McDonald (Japanese)
Fudoh (Japanese, more an action movie but had one of the biggest laughs of any movies I've ever seen, same with Versus)
The Quiet Family (Korean)
Amelie (French)
Delicatessen (French)
My Sassy Girl (Korean)
My Wife is a Gangster (Korean)
Shaolin Soccer, God of Cookery, numerous movies with Stephen Chow (Cantonese)
The last 30 minutes of House of Flying Daggers...
These are all really current, sorry my knowledge base doesn't go very far back.

If a mod could add the word "language" to the thread title it would be appreciated.
Enjoying the suggestions so please keep them coming. I'm using them to come up with a rental list.
Are there any standouts from the following two links?
Movielens search
Netflix search

Most of the "La India Maria" movies are pretty funny. Not sure if any are subbed.
Same for most Cantinflas stuff. I know MGM has a couple of his movies on DVD with english subs.
Stephen Chow is pretty awesome too. Most of his films are on VCD with english subs.
