There is this movie:

(like it if you like it)
And except this one, there are few movies closed to the holy graal.
Strange love of course, I also loved scary movie 2 (sorry), South Park Movie, and 2 french movies : Les trois frres and La cit de la peur. Don't know if you can find them in English. -

Well? If you're done watching all the movies listed (most, repeatedly) AND you still have eyesight, try catching:
His Girl Friday and The General (silent) as well as MANY Chaplin shorts.
And TRY to catch them (like most older movies) on as large a screen as possible. So many expressions are lost on the small screen.

So many I don't think I'd be able to list them. It didn't strike me as a very funny film.

I really can't think of anything. I recently watched it for the first time in a decade and was still able to quote each and every line by heartthey were all just that memorable. I really can't say the same for any other comedy. Sure there might be some specific scenes from other comedies that I find funnier, but considered as a whole I honestly don't believe this movie has ever been topped. I understand why the randomness and overall silliness of it might put some people off, taste is subjective after all, but no other comedy has ever stuck with me in quite this same way.

Sheesh, reading this thread you'd think nothing was funny pre-1980.
Funniest thing ever put on film - ever - was the Marx brothers. Animal Crackers, Day at the Races, Horsefeathers, Monkey Business, Duck Soup, take your pick.
Next funniest - most any Chaplin short.
Next - most any Buster Keaton short.
The Grant stuff. Bringing Up Baby/His Girl Friday/Philadelphia Story.
Laurel and Hardy shorts.
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World.
Then we can start talking about excellent modern stuff like Grail, ahead of similar fare like the genre-happy Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein and the surrealities of WC Fields.
After that, the best Brooks, Blazing Saddles/Young Frankenstein, the best Coen brothers, Raizing Arizona/Barton Fink/Big Lebowski, the modern grab-bags like Airplane.
Below that some Woody Allen starts popping up. And much of the other stuff mentioned here.
One that wasn't - Some Like it Hot. Oh, and one more that really should be considered with these - Birdman. -
