Here's my first shot at a list, in no particular order, and the oldest among them will date me:
 
Love and Death 
Play It Again Sam 
Princess Bride 
Monty Python & the Wholy Grail 
Life of Brian 
My Cousin Vinny 
Dr. Strangelove 
Blazing Saddles 
Young Frankenstein 
Harold & Maude 
I Love You Alice B. Toklas 
World According to Garp 
Erik the Viking 
Local Hero 
Benny & Joon 
Amelie 
Shakespeare in Love 
The Graduate 
MASH 
A Fish Called Wanda 
This is Spinal Tap 
Diner 
The Producers 
I Married an Axe Murderer 
Fargo 
Pride and Prejudice
 
I haven't seen that one about Maude and the Dude.  I watched about 20 minutes on TV once, then flipped to another channel.
 
A couple are sentimental favorites - I Married an Axe Murderer and Garp have special meanings for me.

 |  I have seen Borat twice and laughed very hard the second time.  The key is to let a lot of time pass by between viewings.  You forget how funny it was.  Caveat:  I am quite easily amused (except not by Meet the Parents). |

It is.  As is Stripes.  In fact, I think both TM and I have it (Hi B'n'B!).

Was Election on anyone's list?  I love that movie.
