Bored? These Films Will Make You Laugh Out Loud

What distinguishes a comedy as a classic? Something that withstands the ebb and flow of time and taste while remaining relevant – and amusing? A football to the groin or a pumped-up fart on the audio track is probably insufficient. (Though we don't rule out the possibility that those are the peak of professional-grade jokes.)

We don't have the solution, but we're getting closer to laugh-out-loud enlightenment than we ever imagined possible thanks to our Essential list, which includes some of the best comedy ever filmed. Here, minds are being melted, sides are being split, and knees are being slapped. There’s no minimum count for this list. But these films stand out for us.

Best Comedy Films To Laugh Out Loud

Hot Rod

Hot Rod is a film about the world's coolest individual. Rod Kimble is a wannabe stuntman and horrible stepfather. This movie will contain persuasion facts about Hot Rod that will convince you that Hot Rod is superior to any film that has ever been released in the world. However, critics say that Hot Rod is plenty of brash foolishness and a few amusing set pieces, but it's simply too inconsistent to satisfy all but the most ardent comedy fans.

Game Night

Game Night may be more entertaining than the real thing, thanks to a great cast unleashed on a compelling premise and clever writing filled with dark comedy and unexpected surprises. The film stars Rachel McAdams and tells the story of Max and Annie's weekly game night, which is taken to the next level when Max's brother Brooks throws a murder mystery party.

Blockers

Three high school seniors, Julie, Kayla, and Sam, make a deal to lose their virginity on prom night. Lisa, Mitchell, and Hunter are three overprotective parents who become enraged when their daughters' plans are revealed. They quickly band together in a frantic and chaotic attempt to prevent the females from closing the transaction, no matter what it takes.

21 Jump Street

When officers Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) join the secret Jump Street team, they disguise themselves as high-school students to go undercover. They give up their guns and badges in exchange for backpacks and set out to bust a violent narcotics network. However, as time passes, Schmidt and Jenko learn that high school is nothing like it was just a few years ago and that they must once again face the teenage panic and worry they thought they had left behind. According to critical responses, 21 Jump Street is a witty, sympathetic critique of '80s nostalgia and teen movie stereotypes that delivers mainstream comedy with a surprise bite.

In The Loop

During an interview, British Cabinet Minister Simon Foster (Tom Hollander) makes an impromptu statement about the Middle East war being "unforeseeable." Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi), a profane political spin doctor, tries to cover up Foster's gaffe, but the ill-advised remark is picked up by a warmongering American official. Foster is invited to Washington, D.C., where politicians manoeuvre, mislead and deceive one another in the run-up to a United Nations vote on military action. In the Loop is a witty political parody that combines Dr Strangelove with Spinal Tap for the Iraq war era.

Crazy Rich Asians

Rachel Chu is excited to travel to Singapore with her longtime "boyfriend", Nick, to attend his best friend's wedding. Nick's family is exceedingly affluent, and he's considered one of the country's most eligible bachelors, which surprises her. Rachel has been thrust into the spotlight and now has to deal with jealous socialites, eccentric relatives, and, worst of all, Nick's disapproving mother. Crazy Rich Asians is a satisfying step forward for screen representation while deftly drawing inspiration from the classic — and still effective — rom-com formula. With a fantastic cast and an abundance of visual razzle-dazzle, Crazy Rich Asians is a satisfying step forward for screen representation while deftly drawing inspiration from the classic — and still effective — rom-com formula.
