Some of the greatest films ever made are dramas, but there's nothing quite like a funny, well-made, truly memorable comedy. The genre is so broad that it leaves room for a multitude of subgenres, from crime capers like Snatch to slapstick gems like Safety Last! There's one particular subgenre whose origins date back to the times of its creator, William Shakespeare: the comedy of errors.
Like it usually happens in the best comedies of errors, everything and anything that could go wrong in Snatch does, indeed, go wrong. These different failed schemes come together perfectly in a chaotically intertwined multi-story narrative that's relatively easy to keep track of and an absolute delight to watch, delivering one of the most acclaimed comedies of the early 2000s.
Through a series of misfortunes and miscalculated decisions, the film delivers a sweet and ever-present message. The comedy of Mrs. Doubtfire springs out of this deeply moving tale about divorce, its effects on a family, and someone who learns to be a better man after seeing the world from a woman's shoes. It's one of the most emotional comedies of errors that fans of the genre can find and possibly Williams' greatest on-screen achievement.
Endlessly quotable and legendarily funny, this buddy comedy has been a staple of the genre for decades. A goofy romp with a heart of gold, it's a comedy of errors where each misguided choice adds something crucial to the story and its character development.
Lloyd is at the top of his game here, proving why his simple brand of comedy was so successful. Having no dialogue means that the chaotic hijinks in this comedy of errors all rely on well-constructed slapstick and a distinct visual language, all of which have aged like fine wine over a century later. Safety Last! isn't often talked about in the same sentence as films like The General and Modern Times, but it absolutely should be.
Surprisingly intelligent and philosophical without ever sacrificing a single laugh, In Bruges is one of the best comedy movies of all time. The mistakes that keep digging the characters deeper and deeper into a hole are all full of McDonagh's signature pitch-black humor, lending this terrific crime film a flawless mixture of meaningful humor and wit and a poignant drama at the core of the narrative. Witty, biting, and surprisingly quaint, In Bruges is a modern classic.
