It is often said that comedy is harder than drama, as more humorous films require the audience to have a natural reaction to the material being presented to them on screen.

This makes it even more impressive when a comedic film is able to incorporate genuinely great performances.

5 ‘The Big Lebowski’ Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen The Big Lebowski created one of the single most iconic movie characters of all-time with “The Dude,” the highly philosophical, stoner noir hero that Jeff Bridges crafted to perfection. Bridges had already been acclaimed for decades of great performances, but his wacky role in Joel and Ethan Coen’s cult classic may be the part that he is now most widely recognized for among viewers today.
4 ‘Office Space’ Directed by Mike Judge Office Space is a cult classic that originated from Mike Judge’s now iconic Saturday Night Live short films, and has subsequently been hailed as one of the most accurate depictions of what it is like to be in an oppressive working environment. The success of Office Space hinged on the relatable performance by Ron Livingston as Peter, a character that virtually anyone who has ever hated their job or dealt with obnoxious coworkers could relate to.
3 ‘Borat!
