Underrated comedies???

DVD Talk Legend
Planes, Trains & Automobiles is my all-time favorite comedy. It's well-known, but never really was a bit "hit" (in the theaters or on home video).

The con makes absolutely no sense whatsoever but I still found the 2004 version of The Big Bounce to be very funny. It is not strictly a comedy but I think Wasabi is pretty funny.
Also, I liked Bubble Boy (so ridiculous) and The Cable Guy (vastly underrated).

Hmm, I think 10 ways to lose a guy and witherspoon's blonde films are last time I laughed at comedy. Actually I was thinking other day about this, since 80s, death of John Candy and such this genre has changed alot.

I agree with Midnight Run and Bowfinger.
Also:
Back to School (probably the best Rodney Dangerfield movie, aside from Caddyshack)
The Great Outdoors
Grosse Pointe Blank
The Road to Wellville (not the greatest movie, but definitely a different comedy than you're used to seeing)
Throw Momma From the Train

These have been said already, but I agree with:
Midnight Run (it gets better everytime I see it).
Throw Momma From the Train (different, and better, than I thought it would be).
Bulworth (Watched it in my college philosophy class. I didn't really care for the ending though)
Not previously mentioned:
Falling Down
