Best American Comedies: List

Many of the listed names that make up the list of the best comedies of American production will be familiar to a good half of humanity. And this serves only as confirmation of the highest quality of sparkling humor that prevails throughout the movie.

Rating of some American comedies released between 2000 and 2010, according to the KinoPoisk website:

  • 10th place: "The house of the big mommy." Year: 2000. A youth comedy that combines three film genres: action, comedy and crime, tells about the unusual routine of the FBI agent Malcolm Turner. Malcolm, played by Martin Lawrence, has to not only concentrate on the main goal - the capture of a fugitive robber - but also try not to reveal himself, so as not to get a bullet. The main difficulty in carrying out a task inconsistent with the authorities is that the main character has to live in the body of the obese, but incredibly charming “big mom”.
  • 9th place: "A very scary movie." From 2000 to 2010, 4 comedy series were released, the hallmark of which is a parody genre. The emphasis is on making fun of the top movies from the Thriller and Horror category. Often, humor grows from a peace-loving to black. But in any case, every minute of viewing will be full of laughter and smiles.
  • 8th place: "Wholesale is cheaper." Year: 2003.One of the life’s comedies of all time, telling the story of a large family. The long-term relationship, which began on the school bench, gave Kate and Tom a dozen children. For a moment, the comedy turns into a drama: parents forget about their own dreams and concentrate on the family. Here the main moments of the film begin. Kate goes to the presentation, and Tom remains to follow 12 mischievous. Who will win this confrontation, and whether Tom can get out of the situation in his right mind? Find out in Sean Levy's family comedy.
  • 7th place: "Night at the Museum." Year: 2006. Not everything is so simple in the work of a night watchman. The walls of museums are fraught with not only centuries-old history, but also a fantastic secret: the exhibits live their lives at night. Therefore, the watchman’s main duty is not to protect the museum from external invasion, but to maintain calm inside the building and not allow any of the heroes of the exhibitions to flee.
  • 6th place: "Death at the funeral." Year: 2007. The slogan “82% of the audience laughed to tears” itself reflects the sparkling humor that the film will present to the audience. What do relatives learn about another uncle who has gone into the world? And in what ways will they try to close their mouths with a greedy, talkative blackmailer?
  • 5th place: Freaky Friday. Year: 2003. Mark Watser's comedy film that takes the relationship between mother and daughter to a new level: they change bodies. What to expect from this, given that neither mother nor daughter share their preferences, see the comedy Freaky Friday.
  • 4th place: "Meet the parents." Year: 2000. A true story about how difficult it is to get the parents of a girlfriend. The situation is aggravated by the fact that Greg, played by Ben Steeler, with each step only moves farther away from the intended target ... What tricks will the main character take to please the picky former CIA agent, Pam’s father, will tell a romantic comedy with a happy ending.
  • 3rd place: “Slaughter holidays”. Year: 2010. Director Eli Craig demonstrated how to combine the genre of horror and comedy in one film in equal parts. At first glance, the plot seems trite: two young companies go to one place to relax. The comedic situation is that all deaths are the reason for the prejudice of the townspeople to the villagers: they think that they are all maniacs and want only one thing - death. A group of students decides to fight back the farmers ...
  • 2nd place: Always say, “Yes.” Year: 2008. Another successful role as comedian Jim Carrey. This time the hero has to answer for his words: now he can not say "No." To any question, suggestion or request, he should say "Yes." What difficulties does the hero of the film promise fate, and how will he deal with them?
  • 1st place: "Hangover". Year: 2009. Deadly funny comedy about an unforgettable bachelor party. So many questions and so few answers about what exactly happened during the first night of the celebration. Restoring events and investigating the case of the disappearance of the groom, the heroes fall into a mass of curious situations.

Of course, this is a very conditional rating of "Best Comedies 2000-2010", but we tried to consider the most sensational films that blew the cinema with laughter.

List of comedy films of Soviet cinema

Soviet comedies are characterized by light, unobtrusive and kind humor. They both relax and teach. This is their strength and appeal to the audience.

Our list of the best comedies of the Soviet period is based on a rating presented on the KinoPoisk website.

Sorted in decreasing order:

  1. "Ivan Vasilievich is changing the profession."
  2. "Operation Y and Shurik's other adventures."
  3. "The Diamond Arm".
  4. "Gentlemen of Fortune".
  5. "Prisoner of the Caucasus, or Shurik's New Adventures."
  6. "Girls".
  7. "The same Munchausen."
  8. "Love affair at work".
  9. "Welcome, or No Trespassing."
  10. "Love and pigeons".
  11. "12 chairs".
  12. "Maxim Perepelitsa."
  13. "White Dew".
  14. "Golden calf".
  15. "Love Formula".
  16. "Watch out for the car".
  17. "Can not be!".
  18. “The most charming and attractive.”
  19. "Dog in the manger".
  20. "The incredible adventures of Italians in Russia."

Many phrases from Soviet films became winged and found "life" outside the tape. For example, "Lyapota", presented to us by Ivan Vasilievich; or “You’ll get snow in the head - you’ll be completely dead” from “Gentlemen of Fortune”. And this is the main indicator of success.

Russian films

Unfortunately, the rating of Russian comedies according to KinoPoisk does not even exceed the 7.8 mark, even with respect to the best, although there are very worthy applicants among them.

Some of the best comedy films include:

  • Force majeure comedy by Oleg Fomin “Election Day”. The film tells about the everyday life of one of the most rated radio stations. The best employees of the radio will have to fulfill the order of a mysterious client who asked to “untwist” the candidate for governor so that the competitors are left without support.
  • Dmitry Dyachenko’s comedy “What Men Talk About” tells what kind of conversations are being conducted in a company in which only representatives of the stronger sex are spinning. Work, money, cars, football and, of course, women ...
  • Romantic comedy with elements of drama and melodrama "Inadequate People" from Roman Karimov. Vitaliy, running away from problems from a provincial city, arrives in Moscow, where, according to his hopes, a new life should begin. But the neighbor Kristina, trying to "fashion" the ideal man from Vitaly, and the boss, trying to get him as a lover, prevent her from reaching the desired harmony.
  • Radio Day is another comedy from Dmitry Dyachenko about force majeure circumstances that make radio station journalists come up with sensations on the go. Otherwise, nothing: the theme of the marathon was brazenly stolen by competitors, and it should begin any minute ...
  • “Down House” is a comedy written based on the novel “The Idiot” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. By the wave of the hand of scriptwriter Ivan Okhlobystin, the classic turns into ridiculous chaos. We see the work from a different angle with the inclusion of cruel and dirty humor, although, to be honest, comedy is only remotely related to the original source.

Recall that we mainly focus on the time period: 2000 - 2010, therefore such excellent comedies as “Features of national fishing” (and others), “Shirley-myrli”, “Mama Do not Cry” and others did not get on our list .

Films for a romantic mood

Romantic films occupy a separate niche in the cinema; interest in them never runs dry. They are watched when everything is wonderful in a relationship. They are also in demand when there is a breakdown in relations.

Let's find out which films can not only brighten up your leisure time, but also stir up feelings:

  1. "The Notebook". We start the journey not with comedy, but with one of the most moving love stories carried through the hearts through the years.At the same time, we see a young and old heroine, who, unfortunately, has almost lost her memory, so her husband tries to resurrect her memories of the past. Their love story is recorded in detail in a woman’s notebook, which an elderly man reads to her daily.
  2. "Removal Rules: Hitch Method." The story is that even the most inveterate bachelors, who value their own freedom exclusively and who advocate one-day free relations, sooner or later fall under the spell of deceitful women and immerse themselves in love in their ears ...
  3. "Sentence". Another comedy, in principle, like the previous paragraph, which will make you not only laugh, but also get some fun. Will the cold calculation of the main character of the film, who wants to prevent expulsion to Canada, grow into something more or will the assistant quickly become the next ex?

Best comedies for the whole family

The most driving and fun comedies that are available for family viewing include:

  • "Nannies." No, we are not talking about the film of Ashot Keshchyan, where Nikolai Naumov and Ararat Keshchyan starred, although this Russian comedy is very worthy. We are about the legendary tape, in which two twin muslims with authoritative muscles, but kind hearts, are trying to find a common language with the twin brothers. They succeed only when nurse-babies save the youngsters from imminent death ... What exactly happens to the hooligans and how they annoy the jocks, you will learn in the film.
  • "The Spy Next Door." A film that will appeal to all family members. Humor, tricks, marriages and secrets - this is what 90 minutes of the movie hide. Jackie Chan adds color to the tape - it is his hero who will reveal the spies and at the same time properly perform the role of a nanny.
  • "Revenge of the Fluffy." Not everything is so simple in the animal kingdom: they are not disobedient contemplators, but true warriors who are ready in a critical situation to go to war with a person in order to protect their home. Do not worry: not a single raccoon was injured during the filming of the film. What can not be said about the main character and his construction team. Here the animals prepared a lot of “pleasant” surprises for them ...
  • “My terrible nanny.” Is the nanny-sorceress waiting for the fate that befell her predecessors? Or will she be able to pacify the violent temper of the tomboys under the leadership of Simon? We will say one thing: the children could not have expected that each of their actions would turn against themselves.
  • "Little Nicolas." Residents of the city where the family of little fidget Nicolas lives are tired of living like on a volcano in anticipation of a new leprosy boy. They are trying to apply educational measures to him ... Let's see what happens.

Funny films about animals

Animals often become the protagonists of films: they are able to both laugh and touch. We will not talk about sad things, because we are not talking about films like "Hachiko", but about tapes giving sparkling laughter.

We will only give a list of films so as not to open the curtain of ridiculous secrets for even a second. Watch these films, and you will have a positive charge for a long time!

  • Kangaroo Jackpot.
  • "Dr. Dolittle."
  • "Crazy horse racing."
  • Charlotte's Web.
  • "Mr. Rats."

And do not forget about the film "Marley and Me." But get ready: you have to not only smile, but also cry a little, it’s a pity that it’s not out of laughter ...
