1. The Three Stooges
Three Little Pirates (Curly's last short) almost had me peeing my pants.

BTW, look into the backstory of the shooting of this short. It's damn near a miracle that it even was finished at all.

3. I lack the Y chromosome required to really appreciate slapstick.
Although the Marx brothers were funny.

5. Anything Monty Python. Or Anchorman.
I think pairing those two is cinematic blasphemy though.

UHF was great though. "Who wants to drink from the firehose!?"

6. Bringing Up Baby
Cary Grant, Kate Hepburn; still darn funny seventy years later.

Whoops, that's screwball comedy. Hmm. Does Duck Soup count as slapstick?

7. Stan and Laurel
Are Stan and Laurel considered slapstick? I was raised on that stuff!
