The Interview should be one of the most notorious comedy movies by now, especially considering what happened with North Korea because of it. The film stars James Franco and Seth Rogen, the two comedy buddies we all love to see get together. The CIA learns of their trip to North Korea, so they ask the two to kill Kim Jong-un.
5. Pain and Gain

Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson star as two unlucky hitmen that take more than a few twists and turns while staying in Bruges. Farrell is at the height of his career in this dark comedy.
3. In The Loop
3. In The Loop
This political comedy may not come across as interesting to some, but that’s where you’d be wrong. The film is a spoof of pre-war calamity amongst various nations. It’s hilarious, a little over-the-top, and just the right amount of serious.
2. Tommy Boy

Chris Farley may no longer be with us, but his comedy movies will live on for a long, long time. Tommy Boy is easily the most famous of his films. If you enjoy the genre, then this is one movie you must watch. Farley is gone way too early.
1. Johnny English Reborn

Rowan Atkinson isn’t for everyone, like a lot of comedy greats, but his films are funny nonetheless. Johnny English Reborn tells the story of a spy who is completely clueless. His skills are refined, but that doesn’t stop him from making a mess.
