Cinema show for the soul: comedies old and not very old

An old good comedy is the best option for a quiet family movie. But for every person, the word "old" means some kind of a period of time. For someone a good quality classic comedy in the cinema are the tapes with the inimitable Charlie Chaplin, and to some viewers the films shot at the turn of the XX and XXI seem to be outdated.

Classics of Soviet cinema

In order to select the best film for viewing, let us first turn to Soviet tapes. The old Soviet comedy is, in principle, a separate genre in cinematography. No foreign director has filmed such touching, tender and very lyrical works as "Big Change", "Pokrovsky Gate", "True Friends" and "I'm Walking in Moscow". The list can go on for a very long time, almost endlessly.

It is difficult to advise something definite, but we will try. Lovers of satire and eccentric humor should pay attention to the films "Striped Flight", "The Wedding of Balzaminov", "Gentlemen of Fortune", "It Can not Be!". Separately it is worth mentioning all the films from the series "Adventures of Shurik", as well as the tapes "Wedding in Malinovka", "Love and Doves" and "Hussar Ballad".

In general, I want to note that during the Soviet period very good comedies were made. Old, but surprisingly good films that have long been riddled with quotes. And the humor in them is understandable to everyone even after many generations.

American humor

Now consider in more detail another kind of comedy - old foreign films, which are very beloved by our viewers. In the 90s of the last century, Hollywood, it seems, has broken all the records for the release of comedy films - "Nutty Professor", "Liar, Liar", "Pleasantville", "While You Slept", "Father of the Bride", "Curly Sue" An epic of films about Beethoven, "Unbearable Denis".

There is an opinion that foreign comedies, old or new, still carry a negative, because a lot of jokes are built on the humiliation of a person or causing him pain. Remember, for example, the film "Alone at home". Of course, two bandits are less sympathetic personalities, but they also get very much in the course of the development of the plot. So there is some truth in this statement, but only a share. In fact, even at the dawn of the cinema, people in films threw cakes and pulled together pants, so it seems to be inherent in the very nature of human humor - sometimes laugh at others. The main thing - do not forget to laugh at yourself from time to time, and everything will be in order.

In fact, Hollywood comedies are very different and they can not be viewed as a whole - only separately. But even if you are very negative about the production of American studios, you still can not resist the crazy jokes and unique charm of such comedies as "Groundhog Day", "Mask", "10 reasons for my hatred," "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and " A man on call. "

Inviting France

And if there is no desire to watch Hollywood comedies? Old French and Italian films can brighten up any evening, especially since the time of choice will not take more than a couple of minutes. Just need to look for any movie where such actors as Pierre Richard, Adriano Celentano and Louis de Funes are shot. And you definitely will not be disappointed!
