Netflix’s emphasis on original content is beginning to have an influence on its movie portfolio. There are a lot of Netflix originals on this list, but not nearly enough to make up for all the classics that have been dropped from the rotation in recent years. The following is a list of the top 4 comedy films on Netflix.
Monty Python and Holy Grail:
It’s a shame that the Holy Grail’s luster has been tarnished by its own ubiquity. When we hear terms like ‘flesh wound,’ ‘ni!’ or ‘vast swaths of territory,’ our first thought is usually of having entire scenes read to us by dumb, obsessive nerds.
Monty Python’s Life of Brian:
Life of Brian was banned in a number of nations towards the end of the 1970s, mostly on George Harrison’s money and regarded, even if apocryphally, by the famed comedy team as their best movie.
Step Brothers:
Anchorman is the only comedy movie from the previous 20 years to even reside in the same solar system as Step Brothers in terms of pure quotability. What does this imply about us, the audience? Step Brothers is the best example of the post-2000s man-child comedy subgenre brought to its logical conclusion.
Lady Bird:
Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson—her given name is Lady Bird, as in ‘[she] gave it to [her]self’—watches a young guy sing out the final notes of Stephen Sondheim’s Company before auditioning for the school musical. ‘I wish I could just live through something,’ she says wistfully as she lays her head on the window in a car with her mother a few seconds before.
