16. Almost an impossible task but here is a shot at it

I can't put them in any order either:

The Awful Truth (1937) Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. Grant to his soon to be ex-wife Dunne who is marrying sappy Ralph Bellamy: "So your moving to Oklahoma City, huh? well, if things get dull there you can go to Tulsa for the weekend."

A Night at the Opera (1935) The Marx Brothers at their zanniest but with a believable story line surrounding their antics.

Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)I don't know why but I can watch this film over and over.

The Freshman (1990) After a decade and a half of bored performances Brando is back in form with a parody of his "Godfather" role.

His Girl Friday (1940) Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell and that poor sap Ralph Bellamy in the best newspaper comedy ever.

The Nutty Professor (1963) Jerry Lewis's masterpiece in which he analysis his two alter-ego's funny little professor with the squeeky voice and the egomaniac Vegas lounge lizard.

Harold and Maude (1971) The best black comedy ever made. Bud Cort's several attempts at suicide are hilarious.

Murder, He Says (1945) Fred MacMurray plays a pollster who has a run-in with a murderous hillbilly family led by Marjorie Main.

The Lady Eve (1941) My favorite Preston Sturges comedy with both Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda in top form--if you didn't think Fonda could perform slapstick--think again.

Some Like It Hot (1959) Billy Wilder's best comedy with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in peak form.
