    Monty Python. Life of Brian or Holy Grail.
    Life of Brian.

    I switched off after 15 minutes. I could not take it anymore. I don't understand the popularity of this film? What do people see in it?

    Hangover - really was hilarious. The second i dont know. I guess it wasnt novel anymore.

    the next 3 are not solely comedies but they are really funny

    The Intouchables - french film, just a great film.

    Easy A - Personally I loved this movie. Emma Stone is just awesome.

    3 Idiots - truly wonderful film.

    Hot Fuzz - love this one.

    Some other comdies that dont make the top 5 for me,

    Role Models
    Anchorman
    Kick Ass
    Crazy, Stupid, Love
    Shaun of the Dead
    Zombieland
    The 40 year old Virgin
    The Bucket List
    Knocked Up
    Pineapple Express
    Monty Python and the Holy Grail

    And if you are into old films, Some Like it Hot is ingenious.

    The Room

    Not even a comedy but it's so bad it is hilarious.

    Aside from that Airplane, The Naked Gun, any of the Monty Pythons

    Baseketball is probably the film I laughed hardest at first time I saw it.
    Super Troopers is massively under-rated too.
