Isn't it wierd? I didn't realize until I finished it that they were almost all comedies, or have a comedic element, anyway.

good call on spinal tap

If you like comedies, go and check out the screwball comedies from the late 30's into the 40's. In particular, start with one of these: The Lady Eve (1941), The Philadelphia Story (1940), or The Thin Man (1934). I think you'd enjoy them (even if they're old).

very good list!
