Mental Floss have had a go at identifying the funniest movie of each year since 1950.
Recognising the subjectivity of that classification, they’ve used a combination of Rotten Tomatoes scores and IMDb viewer ratings, along with award nominations and maybe a few personal biases as well.
Many of the years also contain mentions of other comedies released that year.
I’ve seen around 42 of the 73 listed, (Give or take a few I may have forgotten seeing) including 1963’s It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
Surprisingly it’s the most recent entries that represent the biggest gaps having only seen four of their picks since the 2004 listing.
And the lack of a mention for 1986’s Princess Bride and 2016’s Hunt For The Wilderpeople is inconceivable.
Get some movie watching ideas and a laugh or two at Mental Floss.
Definitely watching cricket and not footy this weekend.

The end of earthly life and funerals are not alien territory for the Christian.
These circumstance involve distinctive experiences of suffering, loss and separation, and Christian funerals acknowledge and minister to all of these.
However Christianity embraces a reality that we are all dying.
We have died and risen again in spiritual union with Jesus, and we will experience physical death and resurrection as we share eternal life with Jesus.
As well as ministry in grief, Christian funerals are own our affirmation of our own deaths
From Thomas G. Long’s Accompany Them With Singing – The Christian Funeral.
The Christian faith intends to blur the boundary between the dying and the living. From the vantage point of the gospel, we are all dying, and when we are in the presence of those whose days have grown short, we are not gazing in horror at those who reside in a strange and alien territory. Rather, we are viewing, with love and understanding, brothers and sisters with whom we share an experience.
Thomas G. Long, Accompany Them With Singing – The Christian Funeral, Westminster John Knox Press, 2013 paperback edition, originally published 2009, pg. 108.
