Two of my favs:
Idiocracy
Team America: World Police

 

[Klobberer]

"What do YOU mean, you people"

"Hey, where da white women at?"

"Franks and beans!"

"Oh man, that's pee!"

"I feel like a gynecologist for a grizzly bear."

First 3 are easy...last is my favorite.

I made one for Sci-Fi, why not comedy?

Clue is 100% my number one. The rest are in no particular order and can fluctuate. So many great movies to choose from. But this list I feel has the 12 that I basically I will always watch if it's on or someone wants to watch it.

1. Clue
2. Galaxy Quest
3. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
4. Groundhog Day
5. Spaceballs
6. Back to the Future
7. Office Space
8. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
9. Big
10-11. Both new Jumanji movies
12. Game Night

Cool thing I noticed is that while I like R rated comedies, there aren't many I would include on this list. I don't find most of them that rewatchable. I think the best comedies are ones that don't have to rely on R rated humor to be funny.

I think it might be a problem that I've seen and enjoyed all of these...except your #1, Clue. I guess I should get that to the top of my queue.

Comedy? Looks like real life to me. Why do you think that you don't see any IBM Portables and Commodore 64s (with that potentiometer-controlled baud rate) around any more?

(Can't believe I left the Big Lebowski, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Fargo, Princess Bride, and Young Frankenstein off my list...).

You poor poor soul. You will thank me later.

 

[Legend5555]

Multiplicity

I was convinced no one else liked this movie.

 

[joeyshin]

Aww man. Clue is awesome!

 

[joeyshin]

Office Space. Hands down.

It was kinda funny but I think you’re jumping to conclusions

 

[AWenger]

Team America: World Police

I don't often remember lines or songs from movies, but I can't forget the Montage Song:
"Show a lot of things happenin' at once
Remind everyone of what's goin' on (What's going on)
And with every shot, show a little improvement
To show that it all would take too long

[Chorus]
That's called a montage (Montage!)
Ooh, we want a montage (Montage!)

In anything, if you want to go
From just a beginner to a pro
You need a montage (Montage!)
Even Rocky had a montage (Montage!)"

 

[raynmanas]

I was convinced no one else liked this movie.

Ha, it's definitely not a popular one, but I love it for some reason. It's probably a nostalgia thing.

 

[FDLmold]

Everybody here do yourself a favor, since nobody's mentioned EUROTRIP yet, and go watch it. It is criminally under-rated.

MASH

I have a lot of trouble seeing M*A*S*H* as a comedy, actually... Maybe it's a matter of individual experience.

Maybe "wacky" would be better than "funny"? Probably my "sense of humor" is off... I thought Kelly's Heroes was funny and I think I was the only one laughing in the theater here:

(For full disclosure, IMO war isn't funny and homicide isn't funny, especially non combatants, but I think "you just don't lead them so much" is pretty dang funny)

 

[Big Jilm]

Mine are.... (in no particular order)

Planes Trains and Automobiles
Big Lebowski
Old School
Idiocracy
Kingpin
Three Amigos
Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
Trading Places
Holy Grail
