Looking for some movies to lighten the mood? Here are 10 comedies sure to do that:
, for example, belong in a separate, exalted category of their own, one based more fundamentally in the relatable humanity of the characters than in the jokes and gags. Another classic,, also exists for me in another realm, perhaps one all of its own, that makes it an uneasy fit for easy categorization.
So these are the films that provoke out-loud laughter and, crucially right now, succeed in distracting minds from the woes and tragedies of the moment for at least as long as they last.
