When I was a kid, "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" used to crack me up but I guess that humour hasn't aged very well.
Moonrise Kingdom. I think most all of Wes Anderson films are great IMO. Many other good ones mentioned in the thread.
Of La grande vadrouille fame here in France.Terry-Thomas, what a bloke. Died of a really nasty disease.

I’ll add
Every Which Way But Loose
and
Smokey and the Bandit
Yes, Wes Anderson films are always worth watching. The best, IMO, is The Grand Budapest Hotel, with Ralph Fiennes superb.Moonrise Kingdom. I think most all of Wes Anderson films are great IMO. Many other good ones mentioned in the thread.
Definitely Napoleon Dynamite, we have the dvd, some fantastically funny bits, like when someone throws a steak at someone on a bicycle and it hits them smack in the face. The dance at the end works very well, and the Vote For Pedro running gag is superb. > when he shaves his head because he is too hot...
Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin don’t do it for me. Same with Superbad. Seth Rogan is hit & miss - I did try, but not my cup o char.
Ready to see Trading Places and Naked Gun again. Both used to be on TV regularly, but not seen them for ages.
I think Trading Places would come across a quite dated, but would still watch if for the sake of nostalgia.
About 22 years ago I won a competition on The Big Breakfast, the prize being a week in San Fran with £500 spending money. We were put up in a fancy suite in The Francis Drake hotel next to Union square. I got to visit Lombard Street and walk up it. Very steep as everything is there
Been a long time (decades) since I saw Bananas but I’ll give it another look.If you're having Sleeper, you've got to include Bananas in that list.

Watched it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The wife was in stitches, though the wine had probably helped!I'll add in "Carry on up the Khyber."
Toilet humour. Bum gags. Boob gags. What more do you want.

We also watched Carry on Camping. Khyber is clearly classier, though Camping's quite fun.
Quite a lot of Pythonesque stuff going on in Khyber, I thought.
I just don't get Withnail. Saw it at the cinema with a GF, I found it mildly amusing but cringe making. She sat in silence. Sorry. It's just not funny.
