Really? No Hitchcock, no Ford, no JLG or Truffaut or Spielberg or Renoir or Ozu? Well, not tonight. Shame on me. But in all fairness, my friends, this is an impossible mission – and at least three films in the M:I saga could have easily made it here – so why shouldn't we try having some fun? Of course, comedy films (these ten and any given one) aren't just about fun: they can be a shelter, a catharsis, a cry of revolt, an exhilarating remedy against all ills in this world. And they can be all of that and also frighteningly foreboding of said ills, as Judge's Idiocracy – my first and only 200 per cent sure choice – has already proved in the most brilliant, devastating and, yes, funny way possible.
