Offering emphatic proof that spoof movies didn’t completely die in the 80s, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery was the perfect parody of what was, at the time, a dwindling Bond franchise. It follows the titular spy, an agent from the 1960s awoken from cryogenic sleep to face off against his arch nemesis, Dr. Evil (also played by Mike Myers), when he returns to Earth and holds the planet to ransom. The spy spoof is relentless in its pursuit of gags, taking direct aim at 007’s more ana...
Directed by Frank Capra
A delightful pivot to the macabre from Frank Capra, Arsenic and Old Lace is a black comedy gem that has maintained its hilarious punch over the decades. It focuses on Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant), a notorious marriage detractor who is amazed to find himself in love and eager to marry. When he travels home to tell his family the news, he is disturbed by a corpse hidden in the window seat, a discovery that forces Mortimer to take more notice of his aunts’ misdeeds. Grant excels at the film’s...

It is hard to observe modern cinematic comedy without addressing the seismic impact the physically outrageous genius Jim Carrey had on the genre through the 1990s, with his 1994 picture, The Mask, among the most iconic movies of all time. Presenting Carrey with ample opportunity to flaunt his zany hilarity, The Mask sees him star as a meek bank employee whose life is uprooted when he discovers a mask that contains the spirit of the Norse god Loki. A wild adventure ensues when he succumbs to t...
Directed by Martin McDonagh
Martin McDonagh has risen to great heights with his ability to mesh black comedy with dramatic punch, notably doing so with the Oscar-nominated The Banshees of Inisherin, which also made exceptional use of stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. However, the writer-director's funniest movie is still his debut feature, In Bruges, with the anxiety-inducing crime-dramedyfollowing two Irish hitmen as they are sent to the picturesque Belgian city of Bruges after a job goes horribly wrong. Embedde...

One of the most polarizing yet celebrated comedies of the 2000s that saw Steve Carell become a noteworthy leading man while also ushering in a new generation of Hollywood comedy stars, The 40-Year-Old Virgin is an outrageous gem that has only grown more hilarious (and more excruciatingly painful) with age. It focuses on an awkward though amiable store clerk whose co-workers learn has never had sex. While his colleagues try to help him lose his virginity, he begins to form a romance with a loc...
Directed by Carl Reiner
The movie which saw Steve Martin truly make the leap from a stand-up comic to a leading man in Hollywood comedies, The Jerk was the actor's first starring role in film. Serving primarily as a vehicle for Martin's effervescent and highly energetic brand of goofy comedy to take center stage, The Jerk follows Navin Johnson (Martin), the adopted son of a black family whose sheltered naivety explodes into a journey of self-discovery which takes him to St. Louis. Embarking on one chaotic misadventu...
