Finally, someone mentions Raising Arizona! One problem I have with the Cohen Bros is the fact that their movies aren't always accessible to the unwashed masses (try explaining to Earl next door why Fargo is such a comic masterpiece). Raising Arizona is just plain old funnier than *beep* Nicholas Cage was never funnier, and Holly Hunter is absolutely priceless.
In no particular order, and forgetting or leaving out many comic masterpieces:
The Jerk
Airplane!
Raising Arizona
The 12 Chairs
Take the Money and Run
Doctor Strangelove
La Cage Aux Folles
Mrs Doubtfire
Police Academy
Animal House
Not necessarily all great movies, but they're all guaranteed to leave you laughing for about an hour and a half or so. Unless , of course, you just don't find comedy to be funny.
