Personally I put blazing saddles at the top, but those are the top 2 for sure and it's practically a toss up. I still laugh every time I watch either of them.

YF, definitely #1 for me. And I would say easily top 5 of all time (My top 5 shifts around a lot). Absolute and utter pure genius at every note. Blazing, easy second.

I have to go back and watch The Twelve Chairs. I haven't seen it in decades, but my recollection was that I loved it and might move it up.

Bottom line: Mel, a National Treasure.

It's a tough choice for sure. They're both two of the funniest movies of all time.

Twelve Chairs has that potential for me too, and possibly Silent Movie. I haven't seen either in a very long time.
