No, a movie list. Stuff I haven't seen, need to see again. It's like 200 films long. Never seems to get shorter.
Another really good film in the vein of those being talked about above is Sluizer's The Vanishing
Btw I managed to watch four more of my "classics" list the past few days, A Clockwork Orange, Solaris, Cinema Paradiso & Spartacus. All very different, but brilliant in their own way, at least the first three.
Spartacus, I didn't quite like as much to be honest, especially the last part of the movie after Spartacus' defeat seemed rather drawn out and overly long. It does have some outstanding scenes, such as the initial uprising of the Gladiators or the famous "I am Spartacus"-scene, but as a whole the film has been a letdown for me, especially considering Kubrick's other work, in particular 2001 & Dr. Strangelove.
The usual suspects: Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Dr. Strangelove, The Great Dictator, City Lights & Modern Times.
I said 3-6 as I'd perhaps group the Monty Python ones and those of Chaplin together

If you like british black humor, Four Lions is a must-watch, and relatively new (2010).

Well, I mean you managed to learn how to deal with it
Although I think I get what you mean, 95% of recent comedies are pure pointless shit.
Then again, probably 95% of every genre is pure pointless shit.

already watched four lions. very good film indeed.
love a clockwork orange, but the book is on another level. maybe i like the novel more because i had to put effort in when reading it and i learned a new language (nadsat). nevertheless the adaptation is pretty damn great but the best movie adaptation of all time has to be fight club, simply perfect.

Man thank you, I love you (no homo), that was a masterpiece, and I really needed that. Can't believe such an era are still being enjoyed nowadays, their comedy must be timeless.

"Prosecutor: What about the taxes?
Chicolini: Texas I got an uncle lives in Texas.
Prosecutor: No Taxes. Dollars.
Chicolini: Ya, that's where he lives ... Dallas, Texas."
"Gentlemen, Chicolini here may talk like an idiot, and look like an idiot. But don't let that fool you: he really is an idiot."
