There are dozens of movies that aren't that good, yet have one or two scenes that are roll on the floor funny. One that's pretty funny right on through is Kung Fu Hustle.
 
My choice is partly based on biased reasoning - the first reason is because my father was in the film (Sterling Hayden as Col. Ripper). The second reason is that the movie is terrifying in it's comedy, it's almost a horror film....our worst nightmare ! The dialog is priceless, the lines are delivered with a straight face every time.

The message is, this can happen, so don't cry, have a laugh before our World ends !

The movie......Dr. Strangelove of course ~
