70s: Animal House.
80s: easy, Trading Places by a mile.

10s: my highest rated “comedy” is deadpool. Weak decade.

10s The Immigrant
20s Sherlock Jr.
30s Bringing up Baby
40s The Great Dictator
50s Mon Oncle
60s My Fair Lady
70s Young Frankenstein
80s Blues Brothers
90s Bowfinger
00s Life Aquatic with Steve Zizzou
10s The Other Guys
