re: What is your favorite comedy of all-time?

48.
There are plenty older movies I used to think were funny. I loved The Jerk - saw it at the theater as a kid. I raved about it for decades, then recently talked my wife and kid into watching it. I was embarrassed for having liked it. Same with Beverly Hills Cop. My kid had some friends sleep over (14-15) and they were flipping through Netflix. Tlaked them into watching it. Didn't make it through 20 minutes. Many movies are associated with certain life periods or events, and are better in our memories than they are in reality. I love Young Frankenstein, and my kid and I have started watching it every Halloween, but it tries too hard and overplays some of the jokes. It's like they go out of their way to point out the joke, when just leaving it there would have been way funnier. Lots of "classic" comedies just are not that funny.
