Great comedy movies come in a wide variety of forms. Some comedies are just super-efficient deliverers of jokes, and others weave a more profound or intricate story in between all of the punchlines. What unites all of them, though, is that they feature stars at the top of their form who are giving it their all.
These movies all have a similar effect, as well. They can pick you up when you’re feeling down, and remind you that laughter is one of the best things about being alive. Picking just five was an intense ordeal, and it naturally means that there are tons of movies that didn’t make it onto the final list. With that in mind, here are five of the very best comedy movies ever made.
