Silent Movie
High Anxiety
To Be or Not to Be
Spaceballs
Robin Hood: Men in Tights

The only worthy movie it's missing is the Producers. I can skip Dracula: Dead and Loving It.

Also got a massive Stanley Kubrick collection with:
Lolita
Dr. Strangelove
2001
A Clockwork Orange
Barry Lyndon
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket
Eyes Wide Shut

I just wish it had some of his earlier work like The Killing or Paths of Glory. I just rewatched 2001...man, that movie still blows my mind. It still holds up amazingly well.

And for my guilty pleasures, I got the entire Halloween franchise collection. I'm sucker for horror movies, even ridiculous ones. I got a chance to watch the Halloween 6 producer's cut, which is a lot different than the crap movie that was released. It's still crap, but it's crap that makes a lot more sense.
Blazing Saddles and History of the World Pt. 1 are works of art. Kubrick films almost always hold up. Eyes Wide Shut doesn't in my opinion but the rest are great.
