AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs

Rare card · No. 73361

Part of the AFI 100 Years... series, AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs is a list of the top 100 funny movies in American cinema. A wide variety of comedies, totalling 500 films, were nominated for the distinction; genres included slapstick, action comedy, screwball comedy, romantic comedy, satire, black comedy, musical comedy, comedy of manners, and comedy of errors. The list was unveiled by the American Film Institute on June 13, 2000. On June 28, 2026, AFI reorganized the list and proclaimed Blazing Saddles the funniest movie of all time to celebrate the 100th birthday of its director, Mel Brooks, in reaction to Brooks' opinion that Blazing Saddles is funnier than Some Like It Hot, the original #1 film on the list.
