Top 10 Comedy Films




''Four of us wolves, running around the desert together in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine''
                                                                                                                          - Alan

''This guy is either gonna think 'Here's another kid with a fake ID' or 'Here's McLovin, a 25 year-old Hawaiian organ donor'.''
                                                                                                                          - Evan

''It took me like three hours to finish the shading on your upper lip. It's probably the best drawing I've ever done.''
                                                                                                                          - Napoleon

1. The Hangover (2009)
Original storyline, brilliant the way it back tracks through the night rather than showing us in chronological order. Excellent casting and character development. The wolf pack has been created!

2. Superbad (2007)
This film brought to light the new generation of young comedic actors. Funny as hell storyline and brilliant and relatable characters - the new and improved 'American Pie'. I have watched this so many times but I still find new things to laugh at. McLovin is a G.

3. Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
Quirky, witty, sarcastic and just weird! It's my kind of humour and the confidence of Napoleon should be injected into every Geek that has ever lived!

4. Get Him to the Greek (2010)
Russell Brand can hold a film. He and Jonah Hill make a good comedy pairing. P.Diddy is suprisingly good - ''I'm mind fucking you right now''.

5. Forgeting Sarah Marshall (2008)
Random choice but I really do enjoy watching Jason Segel. He is the brains behind this film and it really has a charm about it. Russell Brand is an asset to the film and all the characters work well together and have genuine chemistry which provide a good rom com.

6. Pink Panther (2006)
I love the original but Steve Martin does it hilarious justice - the scene with them dressed in disguise as wallpaper never fails to make me cry with laughter.

7. The Man with Two Brains (1983)
If you don't find this the funniest film ever, your a loser. It is outrageous and not physically possible but it is a classic. The scene with the brain and Michael (Martin) on the boat is epic!

8. Happy Gilmore (1996)
Adam Sandler is a genius - enough said! When he loses his temper I burst into histerics!

9. Big Daddy (1999)
Steve Buscemi as the homeless guy - legend

10. Pineapple Express (2008)
Seth Rogan has always been a favourite of mine. His pairing with James Franco seemed odd as Franco is best known for his role as Harry in 'Spiderman', generally he is in more serious roles but he has a very funny side to him. He is subtle in his humour. All the characters work well together, I love this generation of comedy.

I have to add this last one in...

This will always be the original for teen sex comedies. Jason Biggs relates to so many young and frustrated boys and set the mark for this genre of film.
