If you're going to head the list with a film starting with 'T', surely the answer is Ted 2.
The IMDB list is just wrong (even from 2 down) though I had forgotten Mrs Henderson Presents which was not bad iirc although not one for the desert island.
IMDb again:
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls005548352/
Number 2 on their list this time is, ahem, “It’s a wonderful Life”.

Back to M, if I may. My Cousin Vinny is very funny but is apparently often recommended by American law schools as having all the court scenes and procedures correct. Joe Pesci stars and Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for this film. If my DVDs would magically sort themselves into alphabetical order, I'd have remembered this earlier.
