The Ladykillers, 2004, Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen
The Coen brothers are masters of the dark comedy. In this underappreciated film, Tom Hanks stars as a charming southern professor who puts together a crew of eccentrics to rob a casino. Obstacles arise as his landlady, in a wonderful performance by Irma P. Hall, gets in the way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFbqAM8SUDM

The Producers, 1967, Directed by Mel Brooks
Producing a Broadway play is never easy but Max Bialystock hits on a new method, bilking old ladies to finance a guaranteed flop titled Springtime for Hitler. Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder are at their best in this zany comedy.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding, 2002, Directed by Joel Zwick
Written and starring Nia Vardalos, this crowd pleaser uses comedy to explore cultural identity as Greek American Toula tries to get her family to accept her non Greek boyfriend. Everyone will identify with this story of love and family.
