      Individual non-reference jokes in Robin Hood were okay.

      If you don't like Young Frankenstein, I am not sure if I want to know you.

      Spaceballs still holds up, b/c Star Wars is still a behemoth franchise.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

            Animal House and Blues Brothers would like to have a say in this......

                Well thanks for thinking about it though.

                I'll divide these into classic and modern to avoid some of the inevitable confusion.

                Classic:

                Ball of Fire
                It Happened One Night
                (The Fred and Ginger movies) (I'm collectively bolding them, sue me)
                (All of the Marx Brothers) including Horse Feathers
                (All of Chaplin) including The Freshman

                (All of Keaton)
                (All of Harold Lloyd)
                The Thin Man
                My Man Godfrey
                She Done Him Wrong
                The Bank Dick
                His Girl Friday
                Arsenic and Old Lace
                Sullivan's Travels
                Irma La Douce
                Our Man in Havana
                King Hearts and Coronets
                The Lavender Hill Gang
                Bringing Up Baby
                Born Yesterday
                Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
                Palm Beach Story
                The Man Who Came to Dinner
                Harvey


                Modern:

                The Producers
                Dr. Strangelove
                Young Frankenstein
                Airplane!
                (All of Woody Allen)                 (I'm collectively bolding them, sue me)

                Animal House
                The Big Lebowski
                Shaun of the Dead
                Holy Grail
                Austin Powers
                The Lego Movie
                Blazing Saddles
                Slap Shot
                South Park
                What We Do in the Shadows
                Clerks
                EuroTrip
                Borat
                Spinal Tap
                Scott Pilgrim
                Groundhog Day
                Idiocracy
                Anchorman
                Life of Brian
                Sausage Party
                Zoolander

                Two great movies I intentionally left off:

                Some Like it Hot, because I hate it but I know that's my fault.
                Being John Malkovich because it makes me very sad so it doesn't work for me as a comedy. Eternal Sunshine probably fits here, too.

                I realize both these movies are masterpieces but I can't appreciate them.

                  Point of order: the first Austin Powers.

                  The 2nd was was okay, and the third one sucked balls.

                      First was best, second was awful, third brought it back a little.

                        Scary Movie, the first was AWESOME. The rest sucked arse.

                        And "Not Another Teen Movie" is still, far and away, the best of that genre.
