A lot is going on in the world right now, and while I wouldn't advise completely burying your head in the sand to block it all out, sometimes we all need a little break. For those times, one of the easiest and most effective ways to get your mind off things is by queueing up a classic comedy film—it’s scientifically impossible (according to me) to not feel at least a little bit better after two straight hours of laughing so hard you're crying.
Read on for 30 of the best comedies ever made, from ‘80s favorites to modern classics, spanning every subgenre in between—romantic comedies, buddy comedies, dark comedies…you name it, we’ve got it—and loaded with endlessly quotable lines that may be impossible to get out of your head for the foreseeable future. You're welcome!
