Cover of Rough Guides & Bob McCabe: Rough Guide to Comedy Movies (PDF)

The Rough Guide to Comedy Movies uncovers cinema’s funniest and most varied genre, from silent slapstick, to 90s gross-out and the dark indie humour of today. The canon of fifty greatest funnies runs from The Gold Rush and Duck Soup to Airplane and Shaun of the Dead, plus double-acts, drag-acts and ensembles from Laurel & Hardy and the Marx Bros, to the Pythons and the Coen Brothers. Seeking out the films that have amused people the most – or simply amused the most people – the Rough Guide gives you the ultimate lowdown on laughter in the movies from Wes Anderson’s Rushmore to Withnail and I, and from John Belushi to Billy Wilder.
