20. Bellboy
1960 comedy starring Jerry Lewis, this film was the directorial debut for Lewis. Cooky-bellboy keeps getting into ridiculous situations, hilarity ensues.

Annnnnnnnnddddd IIIIIIIII-EEEeeeeeee-IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII; I think that about covers it all here.
18. Porky’s
If you’re over 40, you probably loved this comedy. If you’re under 40, you’ve probably heard of it. Probably because your parents talk about it.

16. Marley & Me
This movie might not be a bro favorite, but it set a record for the largest Christmas Day box office ever — puppies, man. I swear I didn’t cry.
