– June 5, 2017
From Academy Award winners to outrageous, campy comedies, this century has been filled with a variety of laugh-inducing flicks.
These films star titans of the genre, including Seth Rogen, Jack Black, Sacha Baron Cohen and Chris Rock. And while some are of the laugh-out-loud variety, other comedies are satirical, of the mumblecore genre, or just plain dark.

The highest-grossing film from frequent collaborators Edgar Wright, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg, Hot Fuzz, is a buddy-cop action comedy about a seemingly quaint English village with some dangerous secrets.
“The most originally funny movie to hit U.S. screens in a while.” —Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
