10 Best Comedy Movies Of All Time, Ranked

Although humor is subjective, some comedy movies are so great that everyone seems to agree they’re hilarious. Unlike other comedic artforms like standup comedy and satirical literature, film comedy has extra frills like camera movements and mise en scene to enhance the jokes. From Mel Brooks to Monty Python to the Zucker brothers, the best comedy filmmakers have mastered both the comedy side and the filmmaking side. Their movies are well-staged and well-shot in addition to having plenty of laughs. Brooks’ Young Frankenstein, for example, perfectly recreates the look of classic black-and-white Universal monster movies while making fun of their most iconic moments.
