    • This is Spinal Tap. The original mockumentary – and arguably still the best around. Rob Reiner’s seminal 1984 comedy follows the exploits of Spinal Tap, a spandex-clad British hard rock band long past their prime but looking to make it back into the big time.
    • The Fog (1980) John Carpenter not only directed and co-wrote this rollicking supernatural slasher movie – he also composed and performed the moody synth score, which succeeds in quickly establishing a permanent state of creeping tension.
    • Evil Dead (2013) Evil Dead has already been remade once by original writer-director Sam Raimi (Evil Dead 2 being basically a better budget reworking of his ultra-indie debut), but this slick Sony Pictures attempt is an entirely different beast – albeit one born from the same DNA and a similar setup: a bunch of attractive young people decamp to a remote forest cabin and unwittingly awake something ancient, angry and deadly – if not without a wicked sense of humour.
    • Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Andy Samberg and his Lonely Island cohorts Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer bring their brand of humour – previously confined to YouTube, the occasional Saturday Night Live sketch and their records – to the big screen in this unjustly overlooked mockumentary about egomaniacal pop star Conner4Real.

    Dir. Graham Parkes

    Having spent a large portion of my late-teenage years giggling in a haze of smoke, I’m a sucker for a good stoner-comedy and they don’t come much better than Graham Parkes’ Craig’s Pathetic Freakout. It’s a simple premise, brought to life through two incredible performances, but the twists and turns just keep coming and although you’ll laugh at Craig’s foretold freakout, there’s also a lot of empathy for him (but mainly laughs!!) – Rob Munday

    Dir. Ben Mitchell

    “My name is Klementhro. Without my paddle, I’ve nowhere to go.” The pronunciation alone is comedy gold. As the titular man at sea drifts along on his raft, the giggles start building up at the absurdity of the premise, every interaction daring us to release the awkward tension in the form of laughter. Comedy usually comes in threes, but when things do turn around eventually, it makes one laugh out even louder. I’m sure some won’t find this particular kind of humor funny, but that’s one of the...

    When you are 5’2”, crowded public transportation is never fun. I also enjoy a quiet commute and usually have my earbuds in to be in my own little bubble. This is why this film will always make me laugh because the main character finds himself in a situation I would despise. The two actors, Emma Sidi and Amit Shah, nail the tone maximizing the comedy up until that last twist, which wraps the story in the most hilariously delightful manner – Céline Roustan

    Dir. Zach Lasry

    The platonic ideal of comedy for me was cemented in the friendships of my pre-teen years. We didn’t have cars, or even the ability to leave the house without permission, so we didn’t actually watch that many things together. But at school, all we talked about were things we watched, and we were perfectly capable of having long, uproariously funny conversations (to us at least) that were nothing but collections of one-liners and catch-phrases from The Simpsons, Jim Carrey movies, or Saturday N...

    Dir. Sarmad Masud

    A delicious premise executed with stylish aplomb, Sarmad Masud’s tale of a British man attempting to woo his “English Rose” at an authentic Indian restaurant delightfully messes with expectations. It’s a film filled with punchlines, but there’s also an underlying message about the danger of reading a book by its cover, skewering what it means to be an “authentic” Indian immigrant who also has grown up in Western society. It’s no surprise that director Masud and star Himesh Patel (Station Elev...

    Dir. Chris Capel

    Working with Jigsaw is 3 minutes of pure evil genius, a film with uncompromising immaturity and relentless, gut-busting laughs which keep on coming. If you haven’t already seen it, you are in for a treat. Or maybe a trick or two… – Serafima Serafimova
