IndieWire's the 35 Best Comedies of the 21st Century, Ranked

"Now more than ever, the world could use a laugh. This bizarre, in-progress century has already produced any number of great comedies, which is to say that many of your (and our) favorites were left out: sorry, "Toy Story 3"; sorry, "Knocked Up." As we tend to lean toward the indie side — and away from certain men-behaving-badly movies — there are also some titles on here that you might not have seen.
There are even some you may not consider to be straightforward comedies. You may not think of "Lost in Translation" or "Mistress America" as laugh riots, but we felt it best to be broad in our approach — any movie that balances its darker shades with cathartic humor was eligible. You'll notice that we like women and Working Title (the British production company responsible for several titles on this list), which is to say: This is less a definitive statement and more a jumping-off point, so feel free to chime in."
