I have to admit for the best part of the 00's I had went right off comedy films. With the rise of the bad spoof and teen comedy, I found it hard to find the gems amid a sea of shite. I suppose I grew rather cynical of comedy movies and turned instead to standup.

However, I recently seen a few movies which has restored my faith in the comedy movies. A few months ago I rented In Bruges, if you haven't seen it then you should, it is a roaring laugh underpinned by something very serious at its heart. I hadn't laughed like that at a movie since Team America.

Then the other week there I got Hot Fuzz on dvd (yes I aint exactly upto date), I had kept back from it after being dissapointed with Sean of the Dead, but this was a great laugh, the level of gore and violence was just insane.

Then last night I saw Little Miss Sunshine, fucking excellent film, I was so glad I watched it...those hot little girl sluts at the end, moving their ass for me, all for me...lol kiddin, the ending managed to disturb me and make me laugh in equal measure, highlighting everything that is wrong with those pagents. Acting was outstanding by the main cast members.

What other gems have I missed in recent years? I welcome your suggestions.
