From His Girl Friday to A Serious Man, these are the best smart comedy movies, according to Reddit.
Redditors recently got together on r/movies, the largest film subreddit, to discuss the best smart comedy movies. By this, they mean comedies that deploy sharp satire, engaging storylines, and killer writing rather than, say, physical comedy.
9 'The Thin Man' This comedy mystery stars William Powell as Nick Charles, a retired detective, and Myrna Loy as his wife Nora. The story kicks off when a friend of Nick's, Clyde Wynant , goes missing, and Nick reluctantly gets drawn into the case. With Nora's help, he sets out on an investigation filled with eccentric suspects, witty one-liners, and a trail of clues leading to a complex mystery.
They soon find themselves contending with various absurd scenarios and misunderstandings. Grant's performance as the flamboyant Withnail is iconic, and the film's endlessly quotable dialogue has earned it a cult following. "It's a very funny movie, but also kind of melancholy. One of my favorites," said user Bodymaster.
"I highly recommend for serious comedies," said user god4rd. "It's a surreal political satire that spares no one in its lens of judgment." Other Buñuel classics worth checking out include Belle de Jour, The Exterminating Angel, and the experimental short Un Chien Andalou. 3 'The Favourite' Yorgos Lanthimos is a director of the dark and offbeat, responsible for unsettling gems like Dogtooth and The Lobster. His most accessible movie is this wild period comedy set in the early 18th-century court of Queen Anne . The story centers on the complex and tumultuous relationship between the ailing Queen, her confidante Lady Sarah Marlborough , and the cunning newcomer Abigail Hill .
