At the current bleak moment in history - Brexit and Trump happening in the same year - it's good to be reminded of the better - and funnier - side of life.
Thus this survey of the 100 greatest comedies of all time is to be warmly welcomed:

The list of those consulted gives a broad perspective and it's difficult to argue with the films on the list, although it might be possible to question some of the positioning.
I think the top ten is pretty good and Some Like It Hot is an excellent choice for number one. I've seen and enjoyed many of the films in the top twenty but although I really enjoyed Young Frankenstein I would not have placed it above The Producers.
