I'm more of a Woody Allen commedy type. I like wit over comedy. Philadelphia Story is a great example. The Thin Man, Presten Sturges films, Whit Stillman films - those are usually good. I like Brazil. The Love Bug is pleasing, but that's more of a nostalgia thing.
Dr. Strangelove wa good in parts but I didn't like it overall. Some Like It Hot is a great film, but I don't LOVE Marilyn.
The more "slapstick" a film gets, the less I like it. And, I hate dumb. (I'm gonna get reamed for that one.)
