Top 10 Comedies of All Time

No joke, ranking the top 10 comedies of all time is difficult. Given that this genre of cinema has been around practically since the birth of moving pictures, this was a particularly challenging list to wrangle. Many IGN editors cast their votes for this one, with the idea also that this would be a balanced showcase. What you'll find here are comedies that have stood the test of time, ones we can safely call "the best comedies of all time." Also, some of these movies are so danged important we can forgive their dated qualities, while others are relatively new but seem destined to go down as among the most hilarious motion pictures ever made. But no matter what kind of sense of humor you have, you're bound to find these films full of thigh-slappers.

Kung Pow/ Ace Ventura Nature Calls and Pineapple express had me rolling. too bad they dont make movies like that anymore.

Awesome list, glad to see a lot of my favorites on here! Young Frankenstein, Airplane, Holy Grail, Galaxy Quest all solid picks imo and going out with Dr Strangelove at #1, as is deserved :D

Step brothers isn't on this list, and that immediately means that this list is automatically incorrect.

[Quantum-nebc]

-Team america world police
-Super troopers

Nothing with Jim Carrey on that list is an absolute travesty
