Top English Comedy Movies
-
- Superbad
Superbad is the essence of high school comedies—two best buddies living it up to the fullest during their last days before graduation. It is no doubt enameled with heaps of really funny mishaps and heaps of cool, witty dialogues; it is like condensing all the fun, grossness, and weirdness associated with teenage friendship and awkwardness into one film.
- The Hangover
From start to finish, this flick is a riot. The Hangover reveals how a stag party, swept up by Las Vegas’ bacchanalia, arose the next morning with no recollection of the night and a missing groom. Their way of reconstructing the night to look for their friend is quite funny and amusing.
-
- Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
Anchorman is an all-out absurd take on the 1970s news broadcasting scene. Will Ferrell stars as Ron Burgundy, a bit of a preening news anchor who has an inflated ego. There are tons of great one-liners and insane situations that establish it as one of the most memorable must-see comedies.
-
- Bridesmaids
The bridesmaids in Bridesmaids infuse the comedy genre surrounding weddings with a fresh burst of energy. With Kristen Wiig, it follows what happens when a pack of bridesmaids gets a little too competitive with one another. Hilarity ensues, with lots of heart and a story of friendship and rivalry.
-
- Ghostbusters (1984)
Ghostbusters is a classic blend of wit and the supernatural, which results in a film that can be at once funny and tense. The story revolves around a group of scientists who open a ghost-catching business in New York City. In this way, their actions and some of the speech tags used in the movie have turned it into something forever comical.

- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
This is a deliciously offbeat parody based on the British classic and an Arthurian legend. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is renowned for quick wit and ridiculous happenings. If you like to get charmed by a certain wittiness in humor with oddball forms of comedy, then this is the movie to see.
-
- Step Brothers
Step Brothers is a film featuring two middle-aged men, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, who happen to be stepbrothers. Their childish behavior and constant bickering result in several funny moments—a perfect blend of outrageous and relatable.
