The 100 Best Comedies of All Time (FILM)
Comedy is extremely subjective and generational.
However, there are some comedies that are just timeless, and will never get dated.
The main criteria for the films on this list is laugh value, but some films are ranked higher for being edgy or being the best at their hybrid. (An example would be "When Harry Met Sally" as perhaps more of a romantic film than a comedy, or "Spinal Tap" for being perhaps the most ground-breaking mockumentary.)
So here it is...the list of the 100 greatest comedy films of all-time. Feel free to disagree.
