"Writing a definitive list of the best comedy films ever made is hard. Not only has the genre been around since the late 1800s, but there are many types of comedy movies: rom-coms, screwballs, slapsticks. But sometimes, you just need a good laugh. So, what makes something a 'best comedy movie?' The easy answer is that it has to be funny. However, it's more than that. Great comedy movies stand the test of time. Comedy, as a genre, has a reputation for aging poorly to the point that many critics ask, can comedy age well? Many comedies pull off this feat and become classics. These classics come with endlessly quotable lines, iconic scenes, and jokes that we want to watch again and again." - forbes.com
