Laughter might be the best medicine, but finding the perfect comedy film can sometimes feel like a quest for the Holy Grail. Fresh off our deep dive into the health benefits of laughter, we're now counting down the 10 funniest movies of all time – a subjective yet passionate ranking guaranteed to spark debate among comedy aficionados everywhere.

From Will Ferrell's quotable antics in Anchorman to the subtle genius of Monty Python, we explore what makes these films stand the test of time. Why do certain lines stick with us for decades? How does comedy evolve yet somehow stay timeless? And why can we watch these movies repeatedly, knowing the punchlines, yet still laugh just as hard?

Our countdown traverses various comedy styles – from the mockumentary brilliance of This is Spinal Tap to the boundary-pushing satire of Blazing Saddles and the cringe-worthy scenarios of Borat. Each film earns its place through some combination of quotability, originality, cultural impact, and pure laugh-out-loud moments that leave your sides hurting.

The episode kicks off with our "Winner of the Week" segment featuring an incredible story about a woman who remembered her CPR training from 40 years prior to save a teenager's life during a baseball practice. This real-life hero kept the rhythm of chest compressions by humming "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees – proving that sometimes the right soundtrack can literally save lives.

Whether you're looking to expand your comedy watchlist or eager to challenge our rankings with your own favorites, this episode celebrates the films that bring joy, relief, and healing through laughter. And remember – watching a great comedy isn't just entertainment; it's a form of self-care that releases those mood-boosting endorphins your brain craves.
