I guess comedy is the most difficult to recommend, but I usually love broad humor, “stupid”, lough-out-loud funny the most. More sophisticated stuff doesn’t often make me smile that much.
But I have watched very little funny films in my life, compared to the rest, something I am trying to change since last year.
some of my absolute favorites:
Maverick (Richard Donner)
Groundhog Day (Harold Ramis)
Winners and Sinners (Sammo Hung)
Crime Busters (Enzo Barboni)
Spite Marriage (Edward Sedgwick, Buster Keaton)
The Wrong Trousers (Nick Park)
Dumb and Dumber (Farrelly Brothers)
Time of the Apes (Sandy Frank)
The Wing and the Thigh (Claude Zidi)
