Screenrant's 10 Comedy Movies That Serious Directors Surprisingly Loved

"A good comedy — or even a bad one — may even be enjoyed film by a director mostly known for making serious movies. From slapstick classics to critically panned flops, there are some surprising comedies that have managed to tickle the funny bones of Hollywood's most iconic dramatic filmmakers. The shock stems from the fact that many of these directors would likely never make such light & goofy fare themselves. These unconventional tastes prove that despite their auteur status, even the best & most highbrow directors know how to have a good laugh. While these visionaries have been vocal about their admiration for some trailblazing classics & moving dramas, a feel-good comedy can also provide them enough amusement for it to enter their all-time favorite movie lists. The universality & feel-good factor of the comedy genre is more than evident when even the most morbid & introspective of serious directors can lighten their mood with a silly vehicle or a goofy satire." - screenrant.com
