To be watched as a trplie bill:

The Big Lebowski - wonderful dialogue, great character comedy. And a bit of slapstick.

This is Spinal Tap - genius and better each time you watch it, Christopher Guest owns this film. Second place goes to the stonehenge/dwarf dissection by Mike McKean.

Anchorman - A natural progressor to Spinal Tap, so many wonderful lines and such lovable characters. Steve Carell confirms his place as a legend of comedy in this film.
