You'd really hate Duck Soup.

Although I disagree with the posters who said "____" isn't a comedy," I don't think that the film would have to be considered a comedy to be included. For example, Pulp Fiction, American Beauty, and Forrest Gump are not generally considered comedies, but I would have liked to have seen them on there.

1975?! Whatever, Grandpa. Oldest movie on the list I've heard of is "Meet the Parents" (2000) -- now there's a comedy classic. But how come "Sorority Boys" isn't on there?!?!

Well, My Man Godfrey is on the list, so it can't be all bad.

Odd they would pick You've Got Mail when Sleepless in Seattle and When Harry Met Sally are far superior versions of pretty much the same thing.

"Funniest Films" implies that the level of comedy is being judged. Most of the comedies from the '60s and earlier that I've seen are quite dated and just intermittently funny (at best).

Their selections from 1982 on are fairly decent.
