Stanley Kubrick's Cold War satire about nuclear annihilation is the darkest comedy ever made. Peter Sellers plays three roles with manic brilliance, and the film's absurdist humor only becomes funnier as geopolitics grow more precarious.
Billy Wilder's cross-dressing comedy starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon is as hilarious today as it was in 1959. Its final line, "Well, nobody's perfect," is the greatest closing joke in cinema history.

Rob Reiner's mockumentary about a dimwitted British metal band essentially invented the modern mockumentary format. Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer improvised performances so convincing that real rock stars thought the band was genuine.

The Coen Brothers' shaggy stoner noir was a box office disappointment that became one of cinema's most obsessively quoted cult classics. Jeff Bridges's The Dude is the most unlikely and enduring comedic icon of the modern era.

The Monty Python troupe's religious satire was banned in several countries and condemned by church groups upon release. Its fearless skewering of organized religion, revolutionary politics, and blind faith remains comedy at its most subversive.

The Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team packed more jokes per minute into this disaster movie parody than any film before or since. Its rapid-fire visual gags, puns, and deadpan delivery by Leslie Nielsen defined spoof comedy for a generation.
Jacques Tati's French masterpiece is a nearly dialogue-free visual comedy about modernity and architecture that took twelve years to complete. Its intricate sight gags reveal new details with every viewing, making it the most rewatchable comedy ever made.

Greg Mottola's teen comedy, written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg when they were teenagers themselves, captured adolescent desperation with raw honesty and filthy hilarity. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera's chemistry is the heart of 2000s comedy.

Juzo Itami's Japanese "ramen western" is a joyous celebration of food, desire, and storytelling that defies genre classification. Its interwoven vignettes about the sensual pleasures of eating are unlike anything else in comedy cinema.

Wes Anderson's most commercially successful film is a meticulously crafted farce set in a fictional European republic. Ralph Fiennes's performance as concierge Gustave H. proved Anderson's style could deliver genuine comedic depth.
