I mean, it's my favorite comedy of all time so I'll be a bit biast, but I truly believe this is one of, if not the best comedy ever.

It's up there.
I also love Arthur and 9 to 5. Most people don't think of the late seventies/ early eighties when they think of comedies, but I love these two movies. I can still quote Arthur from the first time I saw it. I've seen it many times. In the top of the list are The Thin Man, The Lady Eve, and Born Yesterday. Loy, Stanwyck and Holliday were geniuses.

Yes! I watched it today after not having seen it in many years. I expected it it be dated and to not stand up. Boy, was I wrong! What a funny film! Marilyn is luminous. Curtis and Lemmon are delightful.

Yes, I agree, if fact I just saw the movie which I haven't seen in many years. It still stands up as a great movie. Jmo

Best Comedy Ever? One word answer - YES! I took my 2 youngest, high school teens, to see Some Like It Hot. At first they were OMG-it's in black & white! Within minutes there were laughing so hard. The train car sleeper "surprize party" had my son doubled over in laughter. I was lucky enough to visit the Coronado hotel 2 yrs ago - nice memorabelia on site & they serve blackberry mojitos on the beach!

Too many venerable and timeless comedies for me to legitimately rank, but I agree with your sentiment. How anyone can not adore this movie is incomprehensible. I'd say it is among my list of best comedies ever. Beats about 95% of the garbage being peddled as comedy since the 90s.

It's on a very short list, top 5 or 10 for me. I'd probably rate a handful of comedies above it: The Lady Eve, Hail the Conquering Hero, His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby. Maybe Twentieth Century and Tootsie.

I agree 1) Some like It Hot 2) Modern Times 3) The Life Of Brian

Yes, I did a double take on that, too.

Could you refresh my memory please? What in the world was funny about "The Lady Vanishes?"

I rate it 10/10, but it's not my favorite comedy.
I think the best comedy is The Lady Vanishes (1938). I saw it for the first time, last year, and I loved it. I rate it 10/10 and it's my 4th favorite movie. It's also my favorite movie of the 1930's. I got the DVD for Christmas, last year.
