Ranked by IMDb rating · Updated May 2026

  1. 1

    Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

    The Monty Python troupe's anarchic medieval satire remains one of the funniest films ever made. Every scene is a quotable classic — 'It's just a flesh wound' never gets old. ★ 8.2 IMDb

  2. 2

    The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

    Wes Anderson's most accessible and delightful film. Ralph Fiennes as the impeccably mannered Gustave H. is a comic performance for the ages, set in a confection-like visual world. ★ 8.1 IMDb

  3. 3

    The Big Lebowski (1998)

    The Coen Brothers' laid-back neo-noir comedy. Jeff Bridges as The Dude became a cultural icon. A film that gets funnier with every rewatch. ★ 8.1 IMDb

  4. 4

    Groundhog Day (1993)

    Bill Murray is perfectly cast as a cynical weatherman trapped in a time loop. Harold Ramis' film is both endlessly funny and surprisingly profound about self-improvement. ★ 8.0 IMDb

  5. 5

    Shaun of the Dead (2004)

    Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's zombie comedy is a perfect genre mashup. Genuinely funny, genuinely scary, and genuinely touching — a love letter to both comedies and horror films. ★ 7.9 IMDb

  6. 6

    Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

    John Hughes' ode to youth and freedom. Matthew Broderick's Ferris is cinema's most charming truant, and the film's pure joie de vivre is completely irresistible. ★ 7.8 IMDb

  7. 7

    Ghostbusters (1984)

    Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis catch ghosts in New York. A perfect blend of comedy and light horror with endlessly quotable dialogue and an iconic theme. ★ 7.8 IMDb

  8. 8

    The Hangover (2009)

    Todd Phillips' Las Vegas disaster comedy was a cultural phenomenon. Three groomsmen piece together a catastrophic night they can't remember in a brilliantly structured mystery-comedy. ★ 7.7 IMDb

  9. 9

    Airplane! (1980)

    The Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker disaster parody is a masterclass in joke density. More gags per minute than almost any film ever made, and almost all of them land perfectly. ★ 7.7 IMDb

  10. 10

    Superbad (2007)

    Judd Apatow's teen comedy written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg from their own high school experience. Michael Cera and Jonah Hill are hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt. ★ 7.6 IMDb

  11. 11

    Dumb and Dumber (1994)

    Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels at peak physical comedy. The Farrelly brothers' road trip comedy is gloriously, unashamedly stupid — and absolutely hilarious for it. ★ 7.3 IMDb

  12. 12

    Borat (2006)

    Sacha Baron Cohen's mockumentary masterpiece exposed American social attitudes through the fictional Kazakh journalist. Deeply uncomfortable and laugh-out-loud funny in equal measure. ★ 7.3 IMDb

  13. 13

    Anchorman (2004)

    Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy is one of comedy's great creations. Adam McKay's 1970s San Diego newsroom satire launched countless catchphrases and a comedy empire. ★ 7.2 IMDb

  14. 14

    Tropic Thunder (2008)

    Ben Stiller's Hollywood satire with Robert Downey Jr. playing an actor who refuses to break character. One of the most daring and hilarious comedies of the 2000s. ★ 7.1 IMDb
