I recently watched 2 older comedies I hadn't seen before.

Ruthless People from 1986 with Danny DeVito, and Quick Change from 1990 with Bill Murray (a small role by my favourite Phil Hartman too).

Both were really good, but it's interesting seeing how mainstream comedies have changed so dramatically over time. The jokes in these movies were really understated, almost throwaway lines without the overt hand-holding you see in comedies today.
