Borat ( 2006 )
Nobody would have thought that Sacha Baron Cohen could have such a huge success on the big screen. This movie makes no sense, and it is basically about Borat’s life, but there is something mesmerizing about it. Borat, with his dumb smile and weird American accent has managed to fascinate the world. At the same time he shows us another side of the world, a poor community which is always struggling.

Airplane!
We believe that this movie is one of the best comedies ever made. It has approximately three jokes per minute, and every character in the movie symbolizes a human trait or flaw. The directors tested it on some college students, and after presenting it they cut out all the parts which didn’t generate tears of laughter.

7. The Ugly Truth
The problem with most comedies nowadays, is that although they have some really funny lines, they are boring the rest of the time. The Ugly Truth is unlike any other comedy produced in the last few years, simply because it is funny from beginning to end, and the actors are delicious. We have the beguiling Katherine Heigl and extremely charismatic Gerard Butler in the leading roles. What is even more awesome about this movie, is that it doesn’t make use of improbable situations, but of normal, everyday life issues, which are twisted in a funny way. We congratulate the director for the interesting plot line, but we should especially thank the actors for their exceptional performance.

This was the perfect chance for Shawn to show his girlfriend how great he is by saving the community, as long as he survived.

5. Ace Ventura – Pet Detective (1994)
I think that this movie is pure genius. We already know that Jim Carrey is a master comedian, and he has had a lot of memorable roles, but this movie is the godfather of all Jim Carrey comedies. He makes you want to laugh just by looking at him, and some of the scenes will make you roll over with laughter.

There are a lot of funny twists to this story, and we recommend you watch it.
3. The Jerk ( 1979 )
Steve Martin made his debut in what is without a doubt one of the best comedy movies of all time. There is a very sensible side to this movie, because the main character is an extremely unlucky and clumsy individual. He tries hard to make it in life, but he always ends up in uncomfortable situations. He finally gets a little lucky when an unexpected invention transforms him in a very wealthy man.
