What films/scenes make you laugh no matter how many times you watch the film? Mine is the money pitt with Tom Hanks, where the bath falls thru the floor.

Airplane, where the passenger tells the stewardess that she thinks the man next to her is a doctor. Camera pans to Leslie Nielsen wearing a Stethoscope.
The Blues Brothers, where Henry Gibson and his passenger drive off a bridge, and his passenger says 'I've always loved you'.

Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, most definitely.
Just about any Marx Brothers movie, especially Duck Soup and A Night at the Opera.
Also, The Freshman, with Marlon Brando's hysterical parody of his Godfather character and Burt Parks singing to the komodo dragon.
And Kind Hearts and Coronets, with Alec Guiness as just about every other character, male or female.
And The Wrong Box, with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, and Peter Seller with all those cats.

I agree the classics are certainly worth watching. Buster Keaton in 'The General' had me laughing more than any Carry On film could. At the end, he's sat on the connecting rods of the loco kissing his sweetheart. The loco rolls forward slowly, the lovers go up and down with the movement, and they're so wrapped up in each other that they're totally oblivious.
Then there was the chandelier moment in 'Fools and Horses'. Granddad's little face and his whiny voice, and those two just standing there frozen in time (trying not to laugh, apparently, until the camera stopped running).
Michael Caine in 'The Italian Job' - "You're only supposed to blow the b____y doors off!"
And not exactly funny, but still makes me stop and watch, is that Tom Hanks moment from 'Big' where he plays/dances on that giant keyboard in the toy store. That is just magical.

"Withnail & I", particularly the bit when Michael Elphick (as the poacher) says to Withnail: "I've been watching you, especially you, prancing like a tit." Also, near the end when Withnail is stopped by the police driving back to London.
"Have you been drinking, Sir?"
"I've had a couple of light ales, these aren't mine they're his."
"Please step out of the car, Sir"
"Listen here, you. My cousin's a QC"
Then the other police officer marches over and screams in a bizarrely high pitched voice:
"Get in the back of the van!"
Another film scene that also makes me laugh out loud is in North by North West. When Cary Grant has forcibly been made drunk and he's trying to explain to his mother over the phone in the police station that he's been arrested for drink driving. Brilliant!

For me, definitely Young Frankenstein, all of it but especially when he sings putting on the ritz and also, i love see no evil, hear no evil, the bit when they're driving the car is hilarious!

blazing saddles
the scenes where madeline khans character asks the guy if he is in show business, he says no, she says then get your feet off the Fri**ing stage (no offence meant) also the fight scene (at the end of the film), where it spills over on to other studios.
The producers,
the scene where uma thurman's character starts to sing and nathan lane's character looks around for the orchestra ,love the nazi saluting pigeon, or the musical number be gay.
spinal tap
love the scene where he trying to explain why 11 was higher than 10 and the scene where the dwarves were larger than stonehenge and the scene where they were annoyed because the meat was larger than the bread and the interviewer was trying to tell them to just fold the meat in half and they just could'nt grasp that idea.
