Very Funny Movie list

As promised, here is a list of very funny movies. They're my favorites, of course; see if they are on your list, too! The first four are in order by preference, the rest are in no special order.

I love classic movies, and judge ALL comedies against “Bringing Up Baby.” That is my all-time favorite film, a brilliant “screwball comedy” featuring consummate comedy performances by my two favorite actors, Kate Hepburn and Cary Grant.

A tidbit of trivia for you: the same dog played "George" in Bringing Up Baby and "Asta" in the Thin Man movies.
