A very tough call, but I'm going with the Pythons.

Voted for Spinal Tap.  I would ordinarily vote for Python, as I think they're incredible, but the Holy Grail just hasn't aged that well for me.  Their best work was on the Flying Circus TV shows.

But as far as laugh-out-loud funny goes, Spinal Tap gets me every time.  So does Young Frankenstein (Put... the candle... back!).

The Big Lebowski is laugh out loud funny too.

After Hours. One of my absolute favourite movies and the best thing Scorsese ever did.

After voting please discuss your favorite comedies.   What makes a great funny movie?; is it the writing as with Python or Neil Simon, or is it more performance like in Spinal Tap or Fast Times?   And is there a difference between 'Funniest' and 'Best comedy' ?   Choosing a Woody Allen is hard as there are so many good ones; I listed Annie Hall as a fallback but would personally pick Crimes & Misdemeanors or Zelig over Annie.   Ben Stiller like him or not has undoubtedly done some high-quality work, and the Python is a matter of taste.
