A few gems on that list. Some others that I really like are:
The Proposal
Just Friends
About Time
I.Q. (literally a movie about Albert Einstein trying to help a young nerdy scientist (Meg Ryan) bang an auto-mechanic)
Intolerable Cruelty
Music & Lyrics
American Dreamz
America's Sweethearts

Most comedy genres have largely gone the way of the dodo bird in this ultra-PC era. I mean, the best comedy of the year was "Game Night", which is a good movie, but 10 years ago would have barely stood out among all of the other comedies coming out every other week. We rarely see high school movies or college movies anymore.

Mostly, what's left are CGI sci-fy reboots, comic book movies, cheap horror movies, raunchy movies aimed at women, Tyler Perry, and Oscar-bait movies about LBGTQ people of color defeating evil heterosexual white people.
