A good old comedy is the best option for a relaxed family movie show. But for each person, the word “old” means a certain period of time. For some, films with the participation of the inimitable Charlie Chaplin are good good-quality classics of the comedy direction in cinema, and for some viewers, films shot at the turn of the 20th and 21st seem already outdated.
Classics of Soviet cinema
In order to choose the best movie to watch, let's first turn to Soviet films. The old Soviet comedy is, in principle, a separate genre in cinema. No foreign director has filmed such touching, tender and very lyrical works as Big Break, Pokrovsky Gates, True Friends and I Walk Through Moscow. The list is very long, almost endless.
It's hard to recommend something specific, but we'll try. Fans of satire and eccentric humor should pay attention to the films Striped Flight, Balzaminov's Marriage, Gentlemen of Fortune, It Can't Be! Separately, it is worth mentioning all the films from the "Shurik's Adventures" series, as well as the films "Wedding in Malinovka", "Love and Pigeons" and "Hussar Ballad".
In general, I would like to note that very good comedies were filmed in the Soviet period. Old, but surprisingly good films that have long been stolen into quotes. And the humor in them is clear to everyone, even after many generations.
American humor
Now let's take a closer look at another type of comedy - old foreign films that are very fond of our viewers. In the 90s of the last century, Hollywood broke, it seems, all records for the release of comedy films - The Nutty Professor, Liar Liar, Pleasantville, While You Were Sleeping, Father of the Bride, Curly Sue, the epic of films about Beethoven, "Unbearable Denis".
There is an opinion that foreign comedies, old or new, still carry negativity, as a lot of jokes are built on humiliating a person or causing him pain. Consider, for example, the movie Home Alone. Of course, the two bandits are not very sympathetic personalities, but they also get very much in the course of the plot. So there is some truth in this statement, but only a fraction. In fact, since the dawn of cinema, people in films have thrown cakes and pulled down each other's pants, so it seems to be in the very nature of human humor to sometimes laugh at others. The main thing is not to forget to laugh at yourself from time to time, and everything will be fine.
In fact, Hollywood comedies are very different and cannot be considered as a whole - only separately. But even if you have a very negative attitude towards the products of Americanmovie studios, you still won't be able to resist the crazy jokes and unique charm of comedies like Groundhog Day, The Mask, 10 Things I Hate About You, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Call Man.
Alluring France
And if you don't want to watch Hollywood comedies? Old French and Italian films can brighten up any evening, especially since the selection time will take no more than a couple of minutes. You just need to look for any movie where actors like Pierre Richard, Adriano Celentano and Louis de Funes are filmed. And you definitely won't be disappointed!
