Top 250 Comedies/Funniest Movies of All Time - The Definitive List (Dec2023 Update)
Check out my first list from a couple of years ago which compiled the ranking based on the most recent lists from over 65 different sources: THIS update takes rankings from close to 120 lists using the same point system to assign points to movies based on their ranking on each source's respective listings. For sites that didn't actually rank them, I allocated points using an avg midpoint value for each film & weighed them equally (also adj lists based on the movie years taken into account). Biggest UPward movers within top 250: Heathers, Popstar, Pineapple Express, Lady Bird, Monsters, Inc.; Biggest DOWNward movers within top 250: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Bananas, Harvey, Fletch, Take The Money and Run; most of Woody Allen's films dropped significantly since the last list. Biggest jumps to Top 250: Easy A, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Juno. Biggest drop-offs: Monkey Business, Army of Darkness, Design for Living, Mon Oncle. Top 5 did not change despite 4M addtl pts.
avg. score: 99 of 250 (40%)
required scores: 1, 55, 81, 108, 153
