2000s Comedy Movies
Quirky, heartfelt 2000s comedies worth revisiting.
The films on this page share a knack for finding humor in awkward, lonely, or messy moments. Lost in Translation's drifting Tokyo nights, The Royal Tenenbaums' squabbling family, and the chaotic road trip in Little Miss Sunshine all turn melancholy into something funny and oddly comforting.
The collection also stretches into animation, where Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Up, and Ponyo bring the same mix of warmth and wit to younger and older audiences alike. Superbad and A Serious Man show the decade's sharper, more irreverent side, making this a varied set for any film fan.
