I'm happy to see Duck Soup so high up. I had it at #16, but that's not a complaint for sure! It's one of the great classic comedies.
Since it won't appear in the list, I might as well mention Million Dollar Legs (1932), a W.C. Fields picture made the year before Duck Soup. It's interesting that they're both off-beat and wacky comedies, and also that they were each co-written by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, both from Paramount, and both set in fictional countries. There are other similarities as well, not to mention that they're both a riot.
If you haven't seen Million Dollar Legs, I'd heartily recommend it.
