In our today's review - the funniest and kindest comedy films from Hollywood and Soviet directors. The rating was compiled on the basis of reviews and ratings left by KinoPoisk users.
"Back to the Future" and "Back to the Future-2"
35 years have passed since the release of the first part of the film by Robert Zemeckis, it has been watched by millions of people around the world, some connoisseurs already know it by heart from beginning to end. And yet this fantastic comedy is still relevant and loved. The plot of the film is thought out from start to finish, the hackneyed theme of time travel sounds in this film in a completely new way and allows you to enjoy every scene. This picture has many advantages: humor, great acting, non-trivial plot. And all this is filled with deep, serious meaning, which is presented without corrosive notations and moralizing.
The Diamond Arm
The ageless comedy of the genius Leonid Gaidai has been giving its viewers a good mood and unforgettable emotions for more than half a century. No matter how many times this brilliant film is revisited, new shades are constantly revealed in it, and the heroes seem to be almost family members. Subtle humor, captivating plot and stunning performance of truly great actors made Diamond Hand a real masterpiece.
Prisoner of the Caucasus, or Shurik's New Adventures
Another great film by the great director Leonid Gaidai. Even the memory of this comedy evokes an involuntary smile on the faces of the audience. Yuri Nikulin, Georgy Vitsin and Yevgeny Morgunov are able to make the viewer laugh at the moment of their first appearance on the screen, and the incredible play of Alexander Demyanenko, Natalia Varley, Vladimir Etush, Frunzik Mkrtchyan and other talented actors allows you to enjoy literally every frame.
Welcome, or No unauthorized entry
The surprisingly touching and semantic comedy of Elem Klimov is filled with incredibly subtle humor and meaning, and the replicas of his characters have long gone to the people. Each actor in this amazing film plays in such a way that it is simply impossible to take your eyes off the screen. Despite the fact that almost 60 years have passed since the filming of the picture, it continues to attract attention and delight the audience. Many iconic things from the film by Elem Klimov remained in the past, but he did not lose his relevance from this.
Baby
Almost a hundred years ago, Charlie Chaplin's film "The Kid" was released, where the great actor himself is not only a director, but also a screenwriter, composer, actor and even an editor. The story of a toddler, abandoned by his mother immediately after birth and found by a slum dweller, makes you laugh and cry, empathize and sympathize, while enjoying the talented game of the genius Charlie Chaplin.
"Home Alone" and "Home Alone-2"
A stunning Christmas comedy by Chris Columbus for several years on the eve of the Christmas holidays makes viewers freeze at the screens, again wondering at the bravery and ingenuity of the little boy,who stood up to defend his own home and confront ridiculous robbers in a strange and unfamiliar New York. In this film, funny scenes are side by side with touching ones, and the miracle that came true in the finale makes even adult fans of the picture, at least for a moment, but believe in a fairy tale.
Morozko
The good old story told by the great storyteller Alexander Rowe is filled with magic and subtle humor. In it, good is certainly rewarded, and evil is ridiculed and punished. Children today, as well as 60 years ago, continue to enjoy the New Year's fairy tale, and adults watch "Frost" again and again, spellbound, as if returning to their own childhood.
Striped flight
Almost 60 years have passed since the release of the comedy by Vladimir Fetin on the screens. But the consistency with which audiences continue to re-watch the funny and touching film only says that Striped Flight is a timeless and fashionable film. This is truly one of the most striking examples of Soviet cinema, in which everything is beautiful: an almost fantastic plot, an ingenious play of actors, amazing shooting and phrases that have long gone into quotes.
Mute films, despite the fact that almost a hundred years have passed since their creation, do not lose their appeal today. Top 100 films of the silent film era, compiled with the direct participation of viewers on the specialized site Silent Era, includes romantic stories and horror films, historical pictures and melodramas.
