Very funny American comedies to laugh to tears

  1. The best American-made comedy films are worth starting to watch from the classics of the genre - the 1959 comedy “Only Jazz in Jazz” directed by Billy Wilder. This is the movie that was named the best, according to the American Film Institute. This view is shared by ordinary viewers - for more than half a century they have been laughing at the characters of Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and admire the inimitable Marilyn Monroe in the title role.
  2. The incredibly funny and lyrical character of Dustin Hoffman in alliance with Jessica Lang truly adorns yet another classic comedy of the past called Tootsie (directed by Sidney Pollack). An ironic and romantic film at the same time about the adventures of an unsuccessful actor, forced to play a female role and, in this form, present himself to his beloved.
  3. The three funniest espionage comedies are put together by the stunning comedian Leslie Nilson in a trilogy, which opens with the comedy The Naked Gun.The unlucky policeman reveals global conspiracies, saves the queen and generally almost prevents the end of the world. The film, which thundered during perestroika times in the USSR and was shown in all video salons of the country. The sea of ​​laughter, comic situations and parodies of spy films from the Cold War will amuse those who remember it and those who already have no idea how all this was at that time.
  4. Cinema of the 90s is, of course, the American comedy “Dumb and Dumber” with the young comedian Jim Carrey at that time. The plot of the film is simple - two charming but dull friends fall into trouble when a suitcase with gangsters' money accidentally falls into their hands. With such a simple plot and a variety of comedy gags, the authors, the Farelli brothers, as usual, gradually discover a completely different, deeper layer of human feelings and relationships. They talk with the audience about the importance of things such as true friendship and kindness, and much more that today is gradually fading into the background. Good and smart movie, although in some episodes and on the brink.
  5. “Hen Night in Vegas” is a more recent, clever, albeit slightly eccentric comedy about the adventures of friends, each of which is absurd and even cartoonish in its own way, but in general we guess ourselves in any of them. Together with him, you can have as much fun watching the "Hangover", which shows similar adventures of young friends. The tape was awarded the Golden Globe as the most comedy film.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YGAVQ5yEog

European comedy rating

  1. The first in the ranking of European comedies of all time is, of course, the French trilogy directed by Anre Unibel's Fantomas. Filmed in 1964 - 1967, it produced the effect of a bursting bomb and won the hearts of all teenagers around the world. For some reason, the villain with a rubber face nicknamed Fantomas, who wanted to take over the whole world, is opposed in the film only by the unlucky Paris commissar with a stupid assistant and a journalist from among the not infallible sharks of the pen. For Soviet viewers living in the era of the Iron Curtain, the world of French comedies opened up another, unknown Western reality, albeit in such a pronounced comedic terms.
  2. Among other comedies of European production, it is worth noting foreign masterpieces associated with the name of another gendarme and the same Louis de Funes in the title role. This is a series of comedy films about the adventures of a funny brigade of the gendarmerie of Saint-Tropez. The parody of the American science fiction film about the invasion of aliens in the French version of “The Gendarme and Aliens” looks very funny. In total, six films were made about this beloved by many companies.
