Can 'Get Out' be added in this list? It was great combo of comedy and thrill.
I saw them but if we're speaking of the 2017 movie, I didn't add it because it didn't have the "comedy" tag. I never rely too much on tags but this time, they're relevant because I don't want to include movies that are fun to watch and have elements of comedy without being primarily meant as comedies. otherwise, I would have included Pulp Fiction or Fargo from the start and the poll would be dead.

Many of these I don't think can be considered "classics."

Great suggestions, two in the Top 5.
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Shrek
Toy Story
Up
No animated movies (I changed the question) since they're more likely to feature a fair share of comedy and action, I just rewatched Finding Nemo recently and it would fit the list as well.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
I didn't include parodies (even the ZAZ movies like Airplane! or Hot Shots!) because the 'action' sequences are never shot in a way that makes you forget you're watching a comedy. It's never meant to be taken seriously.

Well, I added the first four anyway :)
Trouble I had with The Sting is that since the movie carries elements from both drama and comedy with life-threatening situations and such, the presence of heart-pounding situations doesn't come as a surprise.
But since the film is about the combo between laughs and thrills, I guess the 'comedy' comedy movie will still stand a better chance.
