Your top 7 comedies (rehashed from a couple years ago)

It's been over two years since I did this topic, and so we have lots of newer people around here. So here goes. What are your top 7 comedies...
As in your favorite...not necessarily "the funniest" ever (though it would make sense if you thought they were).
5 seems like it's not enough (twss). 10 seems like too many. So how about 7. Here are mine, in no order:
Dumb and Dumber
40 Year Old Virgin
The Jerk
Blazing Saddles
Spaceballs
Monty Python/Holy Grail
Billy Madison
There are many more I could rotate in and out of the last three spots if I were to make a top ten (like Christmas Vacation, SuperBad, Old School, Something About Mary, etc.), but those are pretty much my 7 favorite comedies of all time. If I had to choose one of them that would be my absolute favorite...meaning I laughed the most, it would prolly be Dumb and Dumber. I laughed throughout the entire movie, start to finish. And I laugh just as much now as I did in 1994 when it came out. I think that says a lot about the movie.
Note: There are some "classics" that I've yet to see, such as Young Frankenstein, History of the World P1, Airplane (well, not all of it at least), so I expect my list to be criticized somewhat.
ETA: Please post your age as well, so that we can compare ages versus lists. I am 31.

My Top Seven:
1. 40 Year Old Virgin
2. The Jerk
3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
4. National Lampoon's Vacation
5. Young Frankenstein
6. The Best of Times
7. Bull Durham
In the spirit of the thread, these are "my" favorite seven. Not necessarily the "best seven of all time."

Super Troopers is close. I'd say ST, Office Space, Friday, etc. would round out my top 10-12. But not top 7.
