150 Essential Comedy Movies To Watch Now

What makes a comedy a classic? Something that floats on the changing tides of time and taste, remaining relevant – and hilarious? It probably takes more than a football to the groin or a juiced-up fart on the audio track. (Though we're not not saying those can sometimes be the pinnacle of professional-grade jokes.) We don't have the answer, but with our Essential list assembling 150 of the best comedies ever made, we're getting closer to laugh-out-loud enlightenment than humanly thought possible. We're melting minds, splitting sides, and slapping knees here.

To that end, we've included all forms of the comedy movie. From slapstick (Dumb & Dumber, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World) to silent (The General, Modern Times). Rom-coms (Moonstruck, Annie Hall) to screwball (It Happened One Night, Bringing Up Baby). Parody (Airplane!, Scary Movie) to postmodern (Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Galaxy Quest). These 150 movies will take you to college (Animal House), past some fan favorites( Step Brothers, Super Troopers ), and all around the globe (Kung Fu Hustle, Amelie).

There's no minimum review count for this list. We opened it up to movies of yesteryear, which typically don't get as many reviews as their modern comedy rivals. Many of these inducted films have high Tomatometer scores and are Certified Fresh, but the Tomatometer was not our only guide. Some comedies that stand the test of time did not necessarily pass the critical test on release, and we're honoring those here. These are not thebest-reviewedcomedy films ever released, but they are theessentialcomedies, movies that broke the Laugh-O-Meter – we'll totally trademark that soon, so dibs – shaped the genre, molded generations, and which audiences return to time and again, to lift the spirits.

And with our most recent updates, we've added the latest and greatest in new funny movies (Booksmart, Blockers, Game Night), and some more comedy classics that have definitely earned their place in the pantheon of guffaws (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Harold & Maude).

Ready to whip out your funny bone and bash it violently on the nearest flat surface? Then you're ready for our list of the best comedy movies ever: Rotten Tomatoes' 150 Essential Comedies!
