The 100 Greatest Comedies Of All Time

The BBC asked 253 film critics from around the world to list their top ten comedy films, and used their responses to compile a list of the top 100 funny films. They learned that the "around the world" part mattered a lot.

In fact, if the results had just been confined to critics from the US and Canada an entirely different film would have topped the list. It was largely because of the critics from Europe, East Asia and Latin America that Some Like It Hot was ultimately crowned number one.

Oops, we just gave away the number one movie! But where do your favorites rank? Find out at BBC Culture, where you can also access the individual lists from each critic. -via Digg
