When it comes to movies I love humor and comedy. Something to watch when just to relax or just get the stress out of your system. Or something to watch with your family, loved one or friends.
Do you remember Airplane? Animal House? The Jerk? Caddyshack? Porky's? Stripes? Police Academy? The Three Amigos? Bachelor's Party? 1941? History Of The World Part 1? Revenge Of The Nerds? Yeah these were all classics to remember and are still watchable.
And to remember the actors that made it possible and why we have comedy to this day: Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, John Candy (RIP), Robin Williams and others I just can't blurt out for some reason.
With today's comedy movies - they aren't the same like back then from the 70's and 80's. For the director's that keeping making American Pie movies are wasting their time, wasting money to make cheesy movies like that. Only the first one was the best one. Clerks 2, Grandma's Boy, Superbad even Ben Stiller movies are great to watch again.
How about you?

I love Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson), whether if it's cartoons, on the tv or the movies. Just his facial expression could make me laugh.

My favrite comedy movies are movies where Leslie Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger were acting as heroes. Charles Chaplin is one of my favorite comedy heroes, I mean movies directed by him I will never forget, though he was long before my time.

I cannot pick just one it is impossible. I can say, that anything with Jonathan Winters or Robin Williams in it is usually great. I wish that they had made a movie together. How awesome would that have been?!!
You left out Red Skelton (RIP) from you list, but of course he should stand alone as pure greatness!!

My favorite classic is "The Jerk". There are few movies that I will watch over and over and that is one and I will still laugh. Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters are hilarious. I love his excitement when the phone books arrive and he is so happy to have his name in print. Of course, his revalation that he was actually adopted, duh. And I love her line when they lose it all and she says, "it's not the money I miss, it's the stuffff." Then his line "All I need...." Even the closing song is so much fun.
So, that would have to be my favorite.
