Top Secret!..the scene shot in reverse acting, in the book store is a masterpiece!
The Naked Gun series is a must watch if you like the movies. There are so much more mindbloggling funny scenes there. Which brings me to Leslie Nielsen. His acting alone is just funny and i also love most of Mel Brooks movies and there is this one Dracula film by Mel starring Leslie which i also like very much.
When you mention Carl Reiner, he also did a very cool, funny one with Steve Martin: Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid..and i think you will know it.
It's in b/w and it's combining old movie scenes with new ones. A must see for film noir fans..and stupid comedy..
I must google your french ones..Is Game Night that one with Will Farrell?
Remember him dancing in this video..was it moby? He can dance very well.
Bowfinger is really funny and for me it's the best role Eddy Murphy has ever done.This movie is hilarious.
Another great director with classic comedic movies is John Landis. Think his most famous one would be An American Werewolf in London..masterpiece. Dark and ugly humor, a must see.
He also did a very fine movie called: Into the Night with Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer..don't know how to call it, a romantic comedy? But it's more than that.
With Rob Reiner's tragic demise at the end of last year, I'll throw two of his into the pool - firstly, "This is Spinal Tap", magnificently skewering the stupidity and pretension of so much rock music, and a good one to play "guess which band this actually happened to" when watching.

Christopher Walken is a great actor (fabulous in "The Dead Zone" and "At Close Range," among others). I remember him doing some dance moves in the excellent "King of New York." And Walken also dances very well to the lovely song "Jesse" by Larkin Poe!:

Have just watched Jour De Fete..........wonderful.......It's a great, great one! I wonder if you would update your list? I know, and i love all of Tati's movies, that a list is almost impossible to do...but now that you've seen it again..? ;-)
cthulhu, The Long Good Friday might also be on my fave movies EVER list... possibly the best British gangster film ever.Just found a different edition of The Long Good Friday for a good price and ordered it...
And Superbad is, indeed, a very very funny film...
Thinking about cult comedy films with great soundtracks, there's one comes to mind - "Restless Natives". Great Scottish film from the mid-1980s, quite a few well--known actors with cameos in it (Billy Connoly, Mel Smith, and Bernard Hill) with a wonderful soundtrack from Big Country, but thanks to legal squabbles over the rights it was all but impossible to find for years. I think it has finally had a DVD release though!!
