IMDB top 250.....no comedies?


I noticed that no comedies are on the top 250. I am not saying that this should be one of them although I liked this. I am wondering why comedies are so underappreciated. They are my favorite genre and as entertainment I favor escapism over thought pervoking.

I think you should check the list again. There are some comedies on the list.

Comedies in the top 250 include Duck Soup, Annie Hall, Monty Python & the Holy Grailo, Kind Hearts & Coronets, and quite a few others. Still true that great movie comedies are few & far between, as with great comic novels, and unlike TV or stage comedy. Interesting, no?

They have said that anyone can do drama, but comedy is HARD!

Be yourself, everyone else is taken

Check again, I believe Anchorman is number 69.

"Anchorman" has probably moved up or down the list, but that movie being #69 is ironic. lol
