"Producers" The original '67 version is one of the funniest films ever produced. Also can't imagine life if I hadn't seen Brazil, Duck Soup, Dr. Strangelove, Pulp Fiction, Being There, Do the Right Thing, The Gold Rush, Goodfellas, and a million or so others that I can't think of before my 5th cup of coffee.
