Ethel Merman was a Broadway star of the 40's & 50's. She's known for her very loud, nasal singing voice. Star of "Annie Get Your Gun." Her biggest song hit was "There's No Business Like Show Business." Her last major appearance was IIRC in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" where she played the obnoxious mother-in-law.

Oh yeah, Revenge of the Nerds... how could I forget them... maybe because I haven't seen them in 4 years... they've never shown in TV, and you can't buy those movies anywhere

The case against him seems to be getting stronger. 
Back on-topic, an excellent one I haven't seen mentioned is Clean Slate.

Nobody has mentioned Murder By Death, one of my all-time favs.
I also found The Gods Must Be Crazy side-splitting the first time I saw it, then I saw it again with a friend and it was
nothing. No repeat viewing value whatsoever. I had to pretend to laugh just to keep from spoiling the thing for my friend. Most puzzling. But everyone I know laughed themselves silly the first time around.

Hmm, I *loved* the Gods Must Be Crazy when I saw it, but have not seen it a second time.
I totally forgot about it, actually.

Although it didn't happen to me with that particular movie (which I still really found funny watching it again), I know the feeling perfectly.
Well:
Holy Grail
Life of Brian
Jabberwockey
--------
Little Big Man
A fools cage (the old French movie)
Don Camillo movies
Arsenic and old Lace
Several Louis de Funes movies, don't know their names in English
The one where he's a gourmet I love best!
"Le Placard" - don't know how it's called in English was the funniest movie in the last years, proabably none of you knows it. A man gets fired by a condom producing company and pretends to be gay, because condom producers can't get under suspicion to have him fired for being gay.

"Die Hard" was pretty funny too, although it's officially an 'action' movie.

Did you see the film? Did you notice that R.Crumb is the least talented artist in the family, but the only one who could function enough to be successful?

Good stuff, and you are right about le Placard. Very funny. I also liked Ridicule and The Dinner Game (I've forgotten the French name).

A lot of good stuff listed already. One I enjoyed that hasn't been mentioned yet (in the Top Secret / Airplane vein) is called Rustler's Rhapsody.

How could I forget Ridicule - awesome movie. Don't know about the second, I'll have to find out and watch it I guess.
I also forgot to mention "The road to Wellville" with Anthony Hopkins and John Cusack about the "Wellness"-boom in the late 19th century.
Highly recomended

In a Gallic vein:
M. Hulot's Holiday
Playtime
Mon Oncle
Zazie dans le Metro
and
Dim Sum
A Great Wall
Eat a Bowl Of Tea
The Wedding Banquet
Eat Drink Man Woman
and
Grief
Victor Victoria
Hairspray!
Brother From Another Planet
Dark Star
Hollywood Shuffle
Mack Sennett and Keystone Cops Compilations
Passport to Pimlico
and Woody Allen's unintentional comedy- Interiors. Woody goes Bergman, angsting and groaning over the ineffectiveness of some New York would be intellectuals, and Geraldine Page gives an Oscar winning performance as an anally retentive controlling matriarch. I love how she gets irritated when she has to use two different types of duct tape when closing off a room in order to gas herself- it jars with her aesthetic sensibilities (she's an interior designer).

I just dropped the first funny movies that came into my head into the post. Of course, a proper list would take longer and more viewings, but that takes time.
I'm sorry to admit, but The Gods Must be Crazy did absolutley nothing for me. I cringed every time it tried to be funny. Maybe my mood at the time was to blame? Each to their own
There's a few mentioned that i haven't seen. I'll make an effort to do so

The Dinner Guest was a very funny French comedy.
Haiku Tunnel is amusing in the indy American vein.

I just saw "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" starring Danny DeVito and Eddie Murphy.
I laughed so hard I think about 2 drops of pee came out.
Oh great, now I gotta pee.
