Greatest Comedies Part 1

It is time for the First Ever Top 25 Comedy Movies of All Time. I love a good comedy so here is what it takes to make my Top 25.
It must make me laugh and I have to have seen the movie
The movie must be rated PG-13, PG, or G. Sorry no R-rated movies
Must contain scenes or quotes that can be remembered
If you feel a movie should make the list, tell me I will watch it and decide for myself.

The count down will come 5 movies at a time with my comments. On to the list
