The top 3 USA box office of all-time are:
1) Titanic
2) Star Wars - the original, eps 4
3) Shrek 2
But since this group is ONLY about comedy, the top 3 comedies (live action) of all time are:
1) Home Alone
2) Meet the Fockers
3) Night at the Museum

Did they take box office inflation into account? Gone with the Wind probably made more $ if you took the price of tickets now compared to the price of tickets then???

If you would have said Star Wars Eps 1, then that would be a relevant comedy topic

1. Dumb & Dumber - "just when you think you can't get any dumber, you totally redeem yourself man"
2. Anchorman - "hey everyone, come see how good I look"
3. Young Frankenstein - "Werewolf", "There wolf. There Castle", "Why you talking like that?", "I thought you wanted to"
Classics!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Young Frankenstein
Duck Soup
That's a hard trio to top and two of the three probably would have been on my list too. But, for the sake of diversity, and just to make it interesting, I'll throw out three new ones. With all the great comedies that have been made it really is hard to narrow it down to three of the funniest but here are three of my favorites:
Night Shift (1982) Henry Winkler & Michael Keaton
Monkey Business (1931) The Marx Brothers
An Inconvenient Truth (2006) Al Gore
What? That's not a comedy? Which one? No. A documentary, huh? Well, you could of fooled me.
O.K. Substitute...
Into The Night (1985) Jeff Goldblum & Michelle Pfeiffer (Maybe not the funniest movie of all time but it has some clever bits and a real quirky storyline. Bruce McGill as Michelle Pfeiffer's Elvis-impersonator brother is a hoot.)
I'll have to give this some more serious thought because comedy is no laughing matter.
Chuckle up, Leroy

Loved Night Shift....Loved Monkey Biz, but I think Duck Soup is better. Totally forgot about Inconvenient Truth...hands down the best farce of our day. I think I overlooked it because Gore is such a comedy machine that I just take his prolific comedy output for granted.

1) Groundhog Day: Not laugh-out-loud but amusing throughout and bears up to repeated viewings. "Don't drive angry. Don't drive angry."
2) Planes, Trains & Automobiles: Another perennial that holds up well. Great oil-and-water chemistry between John Candy and Steve Martin. Hard to visit a car rental counter without "that scene" crossing your mind. "Those aren't pillows!"
3) So I Married an Axe Murderer: Although the "Austin Powers" franchise has a larger cinematic footprint, this little gem from Mike Myers is wonderful. Nice cameos by Alan Arkin, Phil Hartman, Anthony LaPaglia and Steven Wright ... even a mini-cameo by Charles Grodin. "Head ... pants ... now!", "If you want my body and you think I'm sexy ..."

While not in my Top 3...each of these are loaded with laughs. Each would be in my Top 20...and in that order.
