It sounds like none of you is familiar with what a lot of people consider the golden age of comedies. Lubitsch, Sturges, et al. Not to mention Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd, et al.

I'll put in a good word for comedies such as:
It Happened One Night
The Philadelphia Story
His Girl Friday
The Awful Truth
To Be or Not To Be

I'm aware if them ... I just don't find them hilariously, laugh-outloud funny. They're chuckle-funny.
