Live Poll: The IMDb Poll Board User's Beloved Little Comedy Movies

Intro:

This time the IMDb poll board users present their most beloved littlecomedies. We all know the big comedies, which were pretty successfullike Life of Brian (1979), The Big Lebowski (1998), or The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014). But there a few comedies didn't reach such a wide audience. Which of these comedies rated by 50.000 or less users with a rating above 6/10 is your favorite? If you haven't seen one of them, vote for the one you're most interested in. Discuss here.

Rules:

The idea is to collect as many really funny movies that are not so widely known to present them as an alternate to the total mainstream movies, the kings. They can be nasty or rude, no matter.
Only comedy movies, rated 6.5/10 or higher with less than 50.000 ratings. One movie per user - if there are not so many contributers, this rule can be enhanced. They might be comedies you can watch over and over again and still laugh.

Big thank you, Dan. :D
Did you check the rules? I made up the rule one per user. Maybe later enhanced, if not enough users are interested in. So which of these movies you mentioned would you pick as your number one? I f I have to enhance the rule, you might define a special order.

I have an additional idea to my basic idea. The rules count, but I add another rule.
Dan is the most respected guy on this board, according to the extra work he does for all.
So I count Dan as a special user for the work he did for all. For each user, who joins the idea
with his contribution, I'll put one more of Dan's options to the list. :D Come on, guys. :)
contributions treated in order of appearance. :D

Breumaster,

I misread the criteria. I would rather this poll be representative of members of this board.

Thank you, but with 1.1 million ratings, the wolf doesn't match the criteria.
Maybe you have another suggestion. I fit fits the criteria, I'd put it to the list.

Seems that there are not so many pals suggesting,
so I enhance the one-per-user-criterion to three-per-user.
Each of us may suggest three movies. So I take another two of Dan's suggestions.
Dan, if you want to pick others than I've put on the list, then please let me know. :D
