Since there are little more than a few great ones every ten years... you'll have to excuse my picks up through the 50's... I haven't seen many old time comedies.

Interestingly different from my list. I saw A Guide For The Married Man decades ago. Thanks for reminding me of it.

Btw, don't know if you noticed but my list was cloned from jblack's list.

I did not... but thanks for pointing that out... guide for the married man might be my favorite comedy.
