30 movies representing a century of comedy on film

Naturally it’s an American-based list. I have quite few of those in my collection, including “The General”. If anyone wants some UK period comedy, you could try “Hobson’s Choice” (1954) set in sunny Salford! (That’s the bit across the river from Manchester.) With a very young John Mills! Hobson’s Choice
And there’s “The Plank” (1967 vintage.) with Tommy Cooper and Eric Sykes. The Plank
(I’m trying hard not to mention the Carry On films. They are an acquired taste.)
If anyone’s interested in take a trip back in time through Japanese cinema, I’d like to recommend the animé “Millennium Actress”.
