The 100 Best Comedies of the 1990s | Cracked.com
January 26, 2024 - A funny, thrilling Tarantino-esque look at a group of disparate characters set around Christmas, the movie launched the career of Sarah Polley, sending viewers on a drug-and-crime-infused ride. In its own way, Go is one of the 1990s’ most 1990s-ish films — a pivotal scene takes place at a rave. A pseudo-noir comedy that imagines what would happen if Raymond Chandler wrote a mystery fronted by a stoner, The Big Lebowski may end up being Joel and Ethan Coen’s most enduring comedy, a quirky saga in which the Dude (Jeff Bridges) gets involved with some strange characters.

The Better Decade for Comedy Movies? 80s or 90s? | CBR Community
April 17, 2025 - 80's. Because I think the 90s had too many screwball comedies. Which i can enjoy but usually don't but they usually have to have some wit too. But everything seemed like an inside joke in the 90s. It seemed to be dominated by Jim Carey which I never found particularly funny outside some ILC skits. ... Its really hard for me to decide TBH. There are some absolute classics in both decades. Between the 80s movies from directors Ivan Reitman, John Landis, Harold Ramis and the Zucker Bros, its hard to say anything compares.
