Top 100 Comedies in order.
* I posted the first four out of order.
100. Lady Eve
99 Sullivan's Travels
98. South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
97 Fargo
Wow, what a strong start to this list.
The Lady Eve is a great film, and I think
Sullivan's Travels is even better. I strongly considered it for my list and this is a reminder that I need to watch more Preston Sturges.
I only recently started watching any
South Park but have seen and enjoyed the film.
Fargo is great and I enjoy the dark comedic elements but I didn't think about it for my personal list because there are many films a lot funnier for me. I think it's fitting that it gets a place low down.
Stroszek was my #25 and I'm shocked nobody else included it although it doesn't get talked about much. A truly one of a kind film that I ought to revisit actually. I loved it when I watched it. A morbid fact but it's the last film Ian Curtis (Joy Division) watched before he killed himself.
Edit: I also strongly considered
Brewster McCloud for the bottom of my list, one of the most underappreciated Altman films. I need to rewatch
Short Cuts but it never stayed in my mind as a comedy. I included one of his films on my list without giving anything away, a few were in contention.
My prediction is we get a Tarantino film next.
