150 Essential Comedy Movies to Watch Now According to Rotten Tomatoes

What makes a comedy a classic? Something that floats on the changing tides of time and taste, remaining relevant – and hilarious? It probably takes more than a football to the groin or a juiced-up fart on the audio track. (Though Rotten Tomatoes is not not saying those can sometimes be the pinnacle of professional-grade jokes.) Rotten Tomatoes doesn't have the answer, but with their Essential list assembling 150 of the best comedies ever made, they're getting closer to laugh-out-loud enlightenment than humanly thought possible. They're melting minds, splitting sides, and slapping knees here.
