175 Funniest Movies Of All Time

Sometimes, wary of your daily life, you wish for some innocent escape to another reality—a sort of a relief for your overworked brain. Of course, one way to achieve total annihilation of what's happening around you would be to read a book, but if you just cannot concentrate on the written word, then a truly good comedy movie might be your best pick. After all, a laugh a day keeps the doctor away, as they say! So here's where we come in with our newest list, a list comprising only the funniest movies of all time!

So, what are the key ingredients of a good comedy movie? Well, the basis is, of course, humor. But, to make a movie stand out from the crowd and be truly hilarious, the humor used should probably be both relatable, understandable, and yet completely original compared to what you've seen before. So, from our list, the best comedies in the aspect of kooky humor would probably be Napoleon Dynamite, Best In Show, and Little Miss Sunshine. Another vital thing to a funny movie is its cast, of course. After all, the actors carry the movie on their shoulders, and it is their interpretation of the humor that we get to see. So, in the comedy movies listed here, you'll find the names of such greats as Steve Carell, Ben Stiller, and Melissa McCarthy, just to name a few. Finally, talking about such things as an original plot and stellar directing isn't worth mentioning, as we understand that without them, you can't produce the best movie ever, but instead just something along the lines of a dish soap TV commercial.

So, let's go straight into the world of the best funny movies of all time - they are, as per usual, just a little bit further down. We've supplied our top 20 picks with short descriptions, so you won't have to decide your entertainment of the evening solely on its poster.
