I confess one of my faves is What's Up Doc - somehow they crammed into a relatively short film myriad classic devices: mistaken identities (of people and objects), good old gags (well, whole storms of it... probably a good 20mins toward the end of the film are a direct hommage to the silent movies' great chaotic chases), physical comedy, linguistic comedy (at a speed that is sometimes dazzling), superb acting even in totally episodic roles, cartoon-esque turns of events, archetypal characters, action and surreal comedy overlapping completely...
True, it is not inventive in the strict sense, but I just marvel at how the script managed to create this texture of gazillion great comedy moments of very different nature... and somehow they all work together
