COMEDY!
November 18, 2024 12:30 PM Subscribe
I would like recommendations for your favourite film comedies!
I could use a laugh so in an effort to better understand my fellow humans and a genre I have largely neglected I would like recommendations for film comedies.
I do have some caveats:
I am looking for personal recommendations from humans (Sorry ChatGPT)! Only films that you think are the funniest things you've ever seen.
I would like films that are primarily comedies. I will allow Romantic Comedies but I am not looking for multi genre exercises (Action Comedies, horror-comedies or sci-fi comedy [yes I mean Galaxy Quest], dramas with a bit of laughs, etc.)
Can be as raunchy, offensive or family friendly as you like.
I especially want comedies from all over the world and from the entirety of film history. Bonus points for international comedies that tell us a bit about other cultures or films that are historically significant.
This might be controversial - live action only. So no animated features.
No TV shows but can be movies based on TV Shows.
Think of it this way - assume I have no prior knowledge of human comedy and your task is to recommend comedies that best illustrate COMEDY. No wrong answers so I will award Best Answer to the most unusual, most obscure, most historically significant or most interesting sounding reason for a choice.
Thanks!

Love and Death (1975). It might be considered multigenre, but the genre is adaptations of 19th century Russian philosophical novels, which is what makes it so damn funny.
Also, there are very few films that make me literally laugh out loud. I just looked through AFI's list of the 100 best comedies, and while there are many truly great and funny movies, including masterpieces like Broadcast News, there are only a few that meet the LOL criteria, such as Airplane, Spinal Tap, and The Producers.

Clue still makes me weep with laughter, even having seen it 10,000 times. Likewise with Noises Off. Big ensemble comedies with lots of running and slamming doors just does it for me, I guess.

Anything with Sandra Bullock (Miss Congeniality and The Proposal are both hilarious)

I believe history has decided that Rat Race is one of the great ones. Napoleon Dynamite had an impact on the culture that's almost difficult to imagine now. And I'm gonna suggest Bernie, probably Jack Black's best role, although I'll also give an honorary mention to Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny if you like boner and weed jokes, which I do.

Strange Brew has the kind of dumb humor that I love.
CSB: I probably wouldn't be with my partner of now 30+ years if we hadn't started quoting lines from Strange Brew to each other one night while we were working cash registers together at Borders.
We still quote lines from it to each other.

If you're in the right mood, A New Leaf is a 1971 black comedy written and directed by Elaine May and stars her and Walter Matthau. He's an aging playboy who's run through all his money and she's a nerdy heiress.

If you like slapstick, Brain Donors is really funny if a bit raunchy and...well I wouldn't say super offensive but definitely has some outdated 90s ways of looking at things, like basically every film from the 90s. Despite that, it's still one of my favorite comedies.
Auntie Mame is likewise hilarious if (even more) dated. If you haven't seen it, you need to :)
I can't believe no one has mentioned Everything Everywhere All At Once yet, you couldn't have a movie thread of any type without that one when it was released. So you've probably seen it, but just in case. Extremely funny and extremely emotional too.

I have a soft spot for Oscar (1991).
I especially want comedies from all over the world and from the entirety of film history.
Some Like It Hot (1959). Pretty much the entire Marx Brothers oeuvre.
Bonus points for international comedies that tell us a bit about other cultures or films that are historically significant.
Good Bye, Lenin! (2003) for a German example.

Be prepared for people having VERY different ideas of what's funny. For example, I recently watched Anchorman which many people consider one of the funniest things ever and didn't laugh once. I could suggest Monty Python (esp. Life of Brian) but again, it's an acquired taste.
I found Game Night (2018) one of the funniest recent films I've seen. And Death of Stalin gets funnier every time I watch it. (If you like that, try Iannucci's other things, like In the Loop.) And the 'Cornetto trilogy', especially Hot Fuzz. Theater Camp (2023) was surprisingly funny, reminiscent of Best in Show (another recommendation)

Recently been watching a lot of screwball comedies — The Lady Eve (1941) was our hands-down favorite, there's a bit with an intrusive horse that we lost our minds over. Con woman Barbara Stanwyck seduces Henry Fonda, a snake nerd that's the heir to a brewery fortune... not once, but twice!
Ball of Fire (1941) (also Barbara Stanwyck) is also a hoot, about a professor trying to put together a slang dictionary with the help of a gorgeous showgirl — but harder to find as it was never released in high-def.
I do not recommend Twentieth Century (1934) as it's very screamy.
Not a screwball, but A New Leaf (1971) was also a terrific discovery!

Preston Sturges is your guy: The Miracle of Morgan Creek, Hail the Conquering Hero, The Lady Eve, Sullivan’s Travels, The Palm Beach Story are all superb.
My Favorite Year is utterly delightful and one of my most loved movies.
In recent years, I loved Game Night to pieces. A similar movie is Tag, although it’s not quite in Game Night’s league.
