Silent film legend Buster Keaton’s comedy is the shortest film on this list—but those 45 minutes showed the world how movies had their own, totally unique comic possibilities. Accused of a theft he didn’t commit, a lovelorn projectionist (Keaton) imagines himself into a mystery film as the heroic detective.
The Gold Rush
Charlie Chaplin’s “Little Tramp” seeks his fortune by joining the Klondike Gold Rush—only to face bears, avalanches and starvation—in this influential, ambitious and sometimes shockingly dark comedy. Among the silent movie’s iconic comic scenes are Chaplin’s dinner roll dance, and a Thanksgiving dinner scene in which he eats his own shoe.
A caper about a stolen painting that unfolds during an upper-crust Long Island Party, this adaptation of the Marx Brothers’ 1928 Broadway show stars Groucho Marx as renowned explorer Captain Spaulding, who has a great story about shooting an elephant in his pajamas. Harpo’s silent role as “the Professor” has some cringey interactions with women that are played for laughs, but also executes some of his funniest visual gags.
Charlie Chaplin’s greatest film shows the jaw-dropping range that made him a cinematic legend: he could turn a plate of spaghetti into an uproarious gag, then break your heart with a love story. In this silent romantic comedy, Chaplin’s “Little Tramp” character falls in love with a blind flower girl (Virginia Cherrill) who mistakenly believes him to be a rich man. The film’s final scene, in which the Tramp meets the girl for the first time since she has regained her sight, is unforgettable.
The Marx brothers’ funniest movie (and that’s saying something) casts Groucho Marx in the role of incompetent national leader Rufus T. Firefly, Chico Marx and Harpo Marx as equally incompetent spies, and Margaret Dumont as the nation of Freedonia’s wealthy benefactor. The political-satire plot is mainly a clothesline on which to hang some of the most hilarious sketches and gags ever captured on film, including the iconic “mirror scene” (where the brothers pretend to be reflections of one anot...
A daring satire of Adolf Hitler and a bold statement against fascism, Charlie Chaplin’s most controversial film has him playing both a Hitler-like dictator and the lookalike Jewish barber who’s mistaken for him. Watching Chaplinplay the fool in the guise of modern history’s greatest monster—before the world fully understood the true horrors of the Third Reich—still feels subversive.
On the day before her wedding to a self-made man (John Howard), fiercely independent socialite Tracy Lord (Katharine Hepburn) has her life complicated by two other bachelors: a struggling writer sent to profile her for a tabloid (James Stewart) and her wealthy first husband (Cary Grant). This sophisticated, witty and compassionate comedy was originally written for Broadway with Hepburn in mind, and she is sensational—though it’s Stewart who carries offthe funniest drunk scenein film history.
Ball of Fire
Thanks to the Criterion Channel, Howard Hawks’ witty and risqué spin on Snow White—starring Barbara Stanwyck as a nightclub singer who hides out from the mob at the home of seven bachelor professors (among them Gary Cooper), in exchange for teaching them slang words for their encyclopedia—is available to watch for the first time in years.
MGM’s singing, dancing, Hollywood-spoofing crowd-pleaser is easily the best musical comedy Hollywood ever produced. It’s also among the funniest films of any genre, particularly when it comes to effervescent musical numbers like Donald O’ Connor’s “Make ‘Em Laugh” and Gene Kelly’s soaking-wet performance of the title song. Debbie Reynolds is a delightfully sassy ingenue, and Jean Hagenalmost walks away with the film as a silent-movie star with a voice that could break glass.
Legendary song-and-dance manFred Astaire brutally satirizes his own fading career in Vincente Minnelli’s musical gem, about a famed Hollywood hoofer (Astaire) who teams with a pair of New York playwrights (Oscar Levant and Nanette Fabray, themselves parodies of screenwriters Betty Comden andAdolph Green), a prima ballerina (Cyd Charisse) and an eccentric director (Jack Buchanan) to mount his Broadway comeback--with unexpected results.
Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell are perfection in this cheeky musical comedy about two showgirls trying to find love aboard a cruise ship. As their signature songs explain, Lorelei (Monroe) is only interested in a suitor who can afford diamonds, while Dorothy (Russell) goes after the best-looking men…who may not be interested in women at all.

Judy Holliday, a dazzling comedic genius who deserves to be better remembered, plays a role written especially for her in Vincente Minnelli’s stylish Broadway-musical adaptation. Playing a telephone operator who assumes different characters for different answering-service clients, including her unseen dream man (Dean Martin), Holliday delivers one dynamic song and killer impression after another.
