The Best Comedies of Each Year for the Last 100 Years

Here is a list of the best comedy from each year for the last 100 years, starting in 1915 and ending in 2014 (1914 would have been "The Perils of Pauline" and 2015 will probably end up being "Inside Out," but 100 is such a nice round number). Once again, lots of hard choices (e.g., "Blazing Saddles" or "Young Frankenstein"? "The Graduate" or "The Producers"?). But that's the nature of the game, people. Poster Boy for this list is Charlie Chaplin who has eight movies on the list. Nod to the Marx Brothers for having five movies in seven years. For the ladies it is a battle between the Hepburns, with Audrey winning 5-4 over Katharine. Franchise winner is "Toy Story" because all three parts of the trilogy won their respective years, versus "Back to the Future" which only got two out of three.
