The Comedy Canon

Following up on the SciFi Movie Canon meme, here's the list of The 50 Most Significant Comedy Films of All Time, as selected by Bob McCabe in The Rough Guide to Comedy Movies. Ones I've seen in bold, DVDs I own signified with an asterix.

Weird -- 34 of 50, the exact same number as the SciFi movie canon. Have I seen 68% of all significant movies?

I must disagree that The Apartment is a comedy...I always heard that it was, but felt it was quite the opposite when I saw it. But it is, in fact, an amazing movie.

Here is the list of those I have seen:
Airplane!
Amelie
Annie Hall
The Apartment
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
Blazing Saddles
Bringing Up Baby
Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Ghostbusters
Groundhog Day
A Hard Day's Night
National Lampoon's Animal House
The Odd Couple
The Producers
Raising Arizona
Roxanne
Rushmore
A Shot in the Dark
Some Like it Hot
Strictly Ballroom
There's Something About Mary
This is Spinal Tap
Tootsie
Toy Story
When Harry Met Sally...
So 29?
