Also Read: Good Witch Season 7 Finale Episode 10 Release Date, Spoilers, Watch Online
All of us are aware that a movie is good when the opening credits alone are making you laugh with jokes about moose bites. Who was aware that one day Monty Python would translate from big-screen to small, but with MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, the legendary comedy proved that with a long story in which to plan numerous running gags, side quests, and wacky characters they could arguably make their brand of comedy work even better.
2. The Jerk (1979)
You can imagine a number of actors playing and nailing different roles but some roles and characters are unforgettable and irreplaceable. No one can beat Steve Martin could have made Navin Johnson the character he is. Steve Martin has made an extended sequence of violence as funny by simply yelling “He hates these cans!”. Martin’s adorably hilarious and oblivious performance into the comic heartwarmer that The Jerk is.
3. Airplane! (1980)
The airplane is the first film to “pick a genre and just do a straight-ahead spoof” card successfully and it remains the standard. The sense that anything can and might as well happen for the sake of a joke is there in the movie. Even if the jokes that are dated to the time, like Barbara Billingsley speaking jive, still work in the context of the movie, the dialogues are said in such a way that a simple line sounds funny.
4. 9 TO 5 (1980)
Seeing Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton all on-screen together in 9 to 5 that just insists you love the movie, as it’s impossible not to love it the charm by the sheer star power of the three of them working together with their moves and group. The Glare of their collective glow hits different. The film is full of fun and funny incidents the ladies have and I am sure you all are gonna love it.
5. Tootsie (1982)
The film could have been wildly totally mismatched for many peoples, or just plain offensive in its pursuit of a funny story. The story follows an egotistical actor literally and metaphorically getting in touch with his feminine side. Which gave it a different look and a new road. The film becomes one of the all-time great American comedies, managing to poke fun at everything from oblivious sexism and gender roles to the strange egos of actors and writers.
6. Ghosterbusters (1984)
Just like Monty Python and the Holy Grail before it, Ghostbusters is a strong contender. The movie is packed with one-liners and strange non-sequiturs that till now have us saying things like “That’s a big Twinkie” and “Dogs and cats living together: Mass hysteria!” every day, and many more are there. The film is famously called a film about “nothing”. Well, it is because of the perceived way in which its characters don’t really grow or change, and it’s also been called a mockery of the perils of government regulation. Ghostbusters is so damm unforgettably funny movie that we can’t stop looking for the layers in it.
7. Lost In America (1985)
Albert Brooks’s comedies say a lot about the time in which they were made while also remaining almost paradoxically timeless, all of his movies are just so good and rememberable. They’re all great, but somehow Lost In America stands above the rest as perhaps Brooks’s greatest statement on the kind of comedy. The film reached a different level. It follows the story of a couple who set out to find themselves and only find that they’re not interested in growth, it’s the kind of comedy that won’t leave your brain for weeks after you’ve seen it.
8. The Princess Bride (1987)
Rob Reiner had written nearly no less than three all-time comedy classics, including the very famous, This Is Spinal Tap When Harry Met Sally…, and this legendary fantasy adventure. The princess Bride sounds a little bit funnier than those other two films, but it is funnier to a wider demographic than either of them and you are gonna love it. The movie includes both kids and adults cackling at the top of their lungs at everything from sword fights to wordplay.
9. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987)

In a filmography of modern classics, this one stands above the rest.
10.Coming to America (1988)
Eddie Murphy might have provided Beverly Hills Cop as the best solo movie star, but looking back on his launchpad period in the 1980s, The movie which stands out as the best is Coming To America, for his comedic juggernaut efforts. Supporting turns from Arsenio, James Earl Jones and many more scenes hits very hard and make us laugh differently. And John Amos only adds to the powerhouse aura of the film.

21.The General (1926)
Also Read: Watch Light On Me Episode 8 Online: Release Date, Spoilers & Preview
Willingness to very nearly get himself killed over and over again Buster Keaton’s for the sake of public entertainment. It is well-documented, and daring comedy never reached greater heights than with The General ever. The film is worth watching as you all are gonna love the tragic incidents and the funny plots especially for the moment in which he perches on the nose of a moving train and throws a railroad tie at another railroad tie to bounce it out of the way alone. Yes, I know it’s unbelievable but he did that.
22.Duck Soup (1933)
When Marx Brothers were at their best, they were like four powerhouses operating independently of each other, and the moment they joined together it was just the best by the end of a film they were an unstoppable comedic force that will make you roll out a laugh so hard. It is one among several Marx Brothers classics and it stands out as the best of the bunch, well that’s because it’s perhaps the purest example of both their separate greatness and their unified talent.
23.It Happened One Night (1934)
Simply getting two very talented people Frank Capra and putting them together for 90 minutes, and letting them work their magic sometimes is the best formula as you can go as big as you want with your comedy movie but they just nailed in theirs. The chemistry between Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert as two mismatched people leads to an unlikely adventure retains its timeless power even today. When Colbert shows her ankles to get a ride is the moment for which the movie is most famous, but the dialogue is still packed with wit and even some occasional wisdom.
24.Modern Times (1936)
Charlie Chaplin was a genius of comedic structure both on macro and micro levels and of course, is the heartbeat of America, he was able to perfect the timing of a devastatingly funny overall arc and the subtleties of a single comedic set piece. He has made a lot of masterpieces, but Modern Times is one of the best that still lands with the most profound impact today, even among later films like The Great Dictator.
25.Bringing Up Baby (1938)
We will have to agree on this that Cary Grant plays the greatest Straight Man in the history of big-screen comedy and no one can beat him in this, and there’s no better showcase of that than Howard Hawk’s classic screwball comedy. This film includes Witty banter, music, jokes so deeply embedded in almost everything. Even if you have to watch it half a dozen times to get them all you will not get bored, and of course, a massive comedic set-piece is there involving a collapsing dinosaur skeleton.
26.The Apartment (1960)
Billy Wilder had made a lot of great comedies and many of them were super hits, Some Like It Hot, is the greatest American comedy film ever made. Though that film remains a comedy masterpiece, The Apartment does something it can’t and that’s the magic point of the film. The film has a more subdued tone, beautiful performances, and an overwhelmingly big heart. The movie delivers thousands of smiles on your face and uncountable laughs.
27.Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb (1964)
Stanley Kubrick often likes to accuse the legendary filmmaker of being a cold, distant technician. He is someone who could generate stunning visuals but in reality, had no real feel for human emotion. However, Kubrick’s films disprove that claim time and time again. His most straightforward attempt at comedy, Dr. Strangelove, is a visual wonder thanks in no small part to Ken Adam’s with an amazing set of designs. Of course, having Peter Seller in three of his most memorable roles certainly didn’t hurt either.
28.M*A*S*H (1970)
Whatever movie you pick or whatever its rating is Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H still stands a groundbreaking, gleefully irreverent masterpiece in its own right. Donald Sutherland and Elliott Gould Anchoring are incredible which help to understated performances and driven by the now-famous naturalistic, constantly flowing dialogue, the film blend of high- and low-brow comedy and is still counted one of the best.
29.Blazing Saddles (1974)
Someone always manages to remark Blazing Saddles, “you could never make that movie today,” Yes, the jokes are dirty, transgressive, and in some cases haven’t aged well, but “you couldn’t make it today” ignores the larger point: You don’t need to make it today. It is one of the best and most hilarious movies I have ever seen Blazing Saddles is still as blisteringly funny and relevant as it was when it was released.
30.Young Frankenstein (1974)
The great Mel Brooks is given two films as a director on this list, Brooks had arguably the greatest year any comedy filmmaker has ever had. In February Blazing Saddles came out and became an instant classic, and then in December when Brooks released it was another all-time great laugh-fest the whole world was laughing especially The Universal Monsters send by Young Frankenstein. It is Featuring Gene Wilder in full mad scientist mode, Madeline Kahn is stealing
