10 FUNNIEST Epic Comedies Of All Time

3. Ghostbusters

Praising this movie is the prime definition of preaching to the choir, but hey, it's a choir worth preaching to.

Ghostbusters is one of the most universally praised movies in existence, everyone with a heart in their chest and a brain in their head adores it, this author included. While not the best epic comedy on this list, it's definitely the one everyone quotes the most, with lines so casually cynical and funny that you can find a way to fit just about any line from this film into everyday conversation.

And of course, this movie has by far the best special effects of any film on this list. Even today every effect looks stunning, making the climactic battle against Gozer all the more epic. This movie isn't just hilarious (though make no mistake it's DEFINITELY that) it stays in people's minds because it takes its world building just seriously enough to have a believable world populated by characters you want to see come out on top.

A perfect balance of science fantasy and screwball comedy, Ghostbusters is an epic comedy we won't soon forget.
