During a debate with my father who proclaimed his favourite comedy film to be Groundhog Day I claimed that I could name 15 better comedy films. After several agonising hours of prioritising here is the list I came up with:1. This is Spinal Tap - Christopher Guest
2. The Big Lebowski - The Coen Brothers
3. Monkey Business - The Marx Brothers
4. Annie Hall - Woody Allen
5. There's Something About Mary - The Farley Brothers
6. Monty Python's The Meaning of Life - Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam
7. Dr. Strangelove - Stanley Kubrick
8. The Man Who Wasn't There - The Coen Brothers
9. The King of Comedy - Martin Scorsese
10. Modern Times - Charlie Chaplin
11. Anchorman - Adam McKay
12. Clerks - Kevin Smith
13. The 40 Year Old Virgin - Judd Apatow
14. The Naked Gun - Jerry Zucker
15. The Producers - Mel Brooks
16. Groundhog Day - Harold Ramis
As you can probably tell, some are on the list for their contribution to the art of cinema whereas some are simply personal favourites of mine.
Do you agree/ disagree? What are your favourite comedy films?
