Looking at the other lists, I gotta add Ghostbusters and Ed Wood to my honorable mentions. Ed Wood might have made my top ten, but I wasnāt sure whether it should be primarily categorized as a comedy or not.
MASH
Blazing Saddles
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Jerk
Airplane!
Ghostbusters
Coming to America
Groundhog Day
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy
Shaun of the Dead
ETA: I posted my list before reviewing the thread, and I was reminded of a lot of films I missed, but I suppose those that sprang to mind immediately without cheating are going to have to do.
Nice, checking the other posts there were folks with some of the same picks. And some picks I definitely would include as well, such as Galaxy Quest, Hot Fuzz, and Monsieur Hulotās Holiday.
And I missed out Mel Brooks entirely. Iād actually put High Anxiety on there for him.
Let me preface by saying I love 30s and 40s movies. Yes, I love more recent comedies, but so many really wonderful movies has been forgotten.
The More The Merrier, The Devil and Miss Jones, & Easy Living. Today when people recall Jean Arthur at all itās because of Shane. Most of her work, though, was as a genius comedic actress.
The Thin Man moviesāIāll watch and enjoy anything with William Powell and Myrna Loy.
The Lady Eve, Ball of Fire, and Christmas in Connecticut. Is there any kind of movie Barbara Stanwyck wasnāt wonderful in it? I havenāt seen it yet.
My Man Godfrey: Carole Lombard & William Powell. She died much, much too young.
Trouble in Paradise: Chances are youāve never heard of Miriam Hopkins or Kay Francis. This pre-code comedy delight will convince youāll need to see their other movies.
Blonde Crazy: Joan Blondell was never in a movie where she couldnāt steal every scene she was in. While this is more of a drama than a comedy, itās well worth watching.
His Girl Friday: Everyone knows this screwball comedy right? You donāt! OMG! Go watch it. You can thank me later.
Horse Feathers and Duck Soup: The Marx Brothers. Need I say more?
Finally, I canāt ignore Katie Hepburnās screwball comedies: The Philadelphia Story and Bringing Up Baby.
