Top Ten Comedies of All Time


Here at the R and R Review, we got into a little debate over the best movie comedies ever made. Well, after watching miles of film and eating plenty of Taco Bell, we finally settled on our lists. We looked at various attributes in making our determinations, such as how they have stacked up in pop culture, raw comedy and originality of the comedy at the time they were made. After reviewing the criteria and only movies that we've actually watched uninterrupted all the way through, these are our lists:
