The Best in Comedy Movies

Compiled from the Entertainment Weekly Guide to the Greatest Movies Ever Made, here are their rankings within a certain category. Sometimes the category is bit nebulous and most movies were only considered for a single category.  More recent movies were not included...allowing them to stand the test of time a bit first.

1.   Airplane
2.   Some Like it Hot
3.   This is Spinal Tap
4.   Annie Hall
5.   Bringing Up Baby
6.   The Producers
7.   Duck Soup
8.   Tootsie
9.   The General
10. . Unfaithfully Yours
11. . Dr. Strangelove
12. . The Lady Killers
13. . The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek
14. . A Fish Called Wanda
15. . Caddy Shack

    Some might contest the inclusion of Airplane, Caddy Shack and This is Spinal Tap
but they did institute a considerable amount of changes in how comedies were presented.

Some notable exclusions in the Comedy section from the Top 15.

• It Happened One Night (it only won the top 5 Oscars!)
• The Gold Rush
• M*A*S*H
• Young Frankenstein
• Blazing Saddles
• A Night at the Opera
• Arsenic and Old Lace
