And why is everyone so serious? The famous phrase The Joker perfectly reflects the reaction of moviegoers to the list of the 100 best films of the XXI century published last year. Few comedies made it to this list, and therefore the BBC Corporation decided to fix the situation and find out what a picture should be in order to be called a good comedy. Maybe she makes the audience laugh to tears, or does she perfectly combine humor and soulfulness? Representatives of the BBC asked 253 critics from 52 countries and 6 continents to name their top ten comedies. The result is a list that mostly consists of the classics of cinema.
