Every now and then, a movie comes along that makes you laugh so hard you forget where you are. Collider.com recently tried to settle the impossible debate: What are the funniest movies of the last 50 years?
In my mind, their list got a lot right. Here’s how they rank the Top 10:
- Airplane! (1980) – No surprise here. It’s the godfather of absurd comedy. If you can’t laugh at “Don’t call me Shirley,” we might not be able to sit together on a plane.
- This Is Spinal Tap (1984) – Rock mockumentary perfection. Turn it up to eleven and you’ll get why it’s #2.
- The Birdcage (1996) – Robin Williams and Nathan Lane are simply legendary here. Pure chaos, pure brilliance.
- Bridesmaids (2011) – Still the best bachelorette party you never want to attend.
- The Big Lebowski (1998) – The Dude abides… and so do we, whenever this movie comes on.
- Clerks (1994) – Black-and-white, low-budget, but somehow still one of the funniest hangout comedies ever.
- Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979) – “Always look on the bright side of life.” Whistling optional.
- Superbad (2007) – A coming-of-age comedy that gave us McLovin’. Enough said.
- A Fish Called Wanda (1988) – A little forgotten by some, but Jamie Lee Curtis and John Cleese made magic.
- Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) – 60% of the time, it works every time.
So, next rainy weekend, maybe this one... if you’re looking for a guaranteed laugh, this top 10 isn’t a bad place to start. Just don’t forget the popcorn... and maybe a friend who can quote along with you!
