There are so many wonderful movie genres — drama, horror, action, and sci-fi, just to name a few — but comedy may be the number one genre of all. In fact, it is very hard to find someone who isn’t a fan of at least one comedy because there are just so many good ones! Will Ferrell, for example, is a comedy legend and has starred in some of the most famous comedies of all time. From Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy to Talladega Nights to Elf to Blades of Glory, there’s just nothing that man can’t do!
Another comedy star is Ben Stiller, who has been in movies like Zoolander, Meet the Parents, and There’s Something About Mary. Some very famous comedy movies that have come out in the last 10 years include The Hangover, which then led to The Hangover Part II and The Hangover Part III, Bridesmaids, Pineapple Express, Neighbors, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Other classics include Caddyshack, Mrs. Doubtfire, Ghostbusters, and even Clueless. No matter the decade, the actors, or the storyline, comedies always manage to make us laugh and smile.
