Can't do 10 comedies and leave out so many great ones. Here are 10 top random comedies that are essentials. Safety Last / Fred C. Newmeyer and Sam Taylor (1923) The General / Buster Keaton (1927) Horse Feathers / Norman Z. McLeod (1932) To Be Or Not To Be / Ernst Lubitsch (1942) Some Like It Hot / Billy Wilder (1959) One, Two, Three / Billy Wilder (1961) A Hard Day’s Night / Richard Lester (1964) Love And Death / Woody Allen (1975) Airplane! / Abraham, Zucker, Zucker (1980) Much Ado About Nothing (Kenneth Branagh 1993) Can you list about 10 essentials that you feel you could go back too more frequently over others? There are always standouts for me, for whatever reason, be it characters, atmosphere, humor and enjoyment factor. I would say that the list I posted, movies I thought of first, would pretty much meet that standard. |

I just realised I forgot Nine to Five. I will have to replace Throw Momma From The Train for this.

Oh, I haven't picked yet?
1. Room Service 1938
2. Father Goose 1964
3. At the Circus 1939
4. The Inspector General 1949
5. Monty Python and the Holy Grail 1975
6. Blazing Saddles 1974
7. National Lampoon's Family Vacation
8. A Night at the Opera 1935
9. The Princess and the Pirate 1944
10. Cat Ballou 1965
True, a lot of movies made before I was born, but the simple fact is that movie makers hated comedy in recent years. My only honorable mention of recent years would be "Austin Powers Internation Man of Mystery".

I like Mel Brooks comedies, but my personal favorite is History Of The World Part 1.

A buddy of mine gave me his top five the other day. He likes Ace Ventura 2 over the first. |

The original Ace Ventura is the one I've watched the most and is the most memorable because of the Einhorn is a man segment. But on a second thought, the sequel is the one that has the slinky scene which I remember loving growing up. |

I love Back To The Future. Due to its hybrid nature, I never thought to place it as a favorite comedy though. One of the best films of '85. |
