The 35 Best Comedy Movies of All Time, Ranked by CBR

"Comedies have a simple barometer for quality: the audience either laughs or it doesn't. That's just part of the metric, however, because the best comedy movies are those that audiences still find funny even after decades. That includes the true masters, going back to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, as well as more recent figures. It also gives comedy an enduring appeal that avoids the ebbs and flows of other genres. Here are 30 of the best comedies ever made, spread across the history of film around the world. Besides their abiding power to make people laugh, each of them brings something special to their efforts that no other genre can duplicate." - cbr.com
