Sure, it's just an opinion, and mine, no less, but Raising Arizona is the funniest American movie. It stands up to repeat viewings. There is not a wasted line of dialogue, and all of it is delivered perfectly. Pure genius.

Airplane! was a funny film, too, but I don't think it qualifies as "all-time" funny.

It's coming out on DVD soon.

What is wrong with you people?

"Dr. Strangelove" was funniest.

But "Something About Mary" comes pretty close {the dog CPR scene has me in stitches every time I see it).

Few older classics to throw onto the heap:

"Cops," Buster Keaton
"The General," Buster Keaton
Fuck it, anything with Buster Keaton, except "Beach Blanket Bingo."

"Modern Times," Charles Chaplin

"Bringing Up Baby"

And saving the best for last:

"Duck Soup," Marx Bros.
"Horse Feathers," Marx Bros.
"Animal Crackers," Marx Bros.
"A Night at the Opera," Marx Bros.

I could watch the Marx Bros. all night!

And before I forget to mention it, "Clerks" was absolutely hilarious. It has to be a serious contender for runner-up.
