Some Like it Hot - if I didn't like Dr Strangelove so damn much I'd say this could be making a run for the best comedy, along with Annie Hall. So much subtle, yet at the same time blatant, sexuality. This is my first Marilyn Monroe viewing experience and she was just as sexy and funny as I've always heard. She nearly steals the movie from the outrageous Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis.
My goodness, your taste is frightfully good. Those are probably my top 3 comedies as well. Or at least all 3 would be in my Top 5 or 10.

And, of course, Liberty Valance is excellent.
