This is how dry Wikipedia explains it "Films definitive of the genre usually feature farcical situations, a combination of slapstick with fast-paced repartee and show the struggle between economic classes. They also generally feature a self-confident and often stubborn central female protagonist and a plot involving courtship and marriage or remarriage".
Personal favorites:
Libeled Lady 1936
My Man Godfrey 1936
The Awful Truth 1937
Topper 1937
Bringing Up Baby 1938
Midnight 1939 John Barrymore is over the top funny
The Palm Beach Story 1941
Love Crazy 1941
Hi Diddle Diddle 1941 They used to show this on now defunct Sky Channel
Hellzapoppin' 1941
Road to Morocco 1942
Some later days tries that I've also liked is Some Like it Hot 1959 and Trading Places 1983
