Talk:Comedy film

Wow. This needs a lot of work. It doesn't say much, and it's on the first page of google results for "comedy film." Unfortunately, comedy is one of the areas of film where I'm weak. Maybe we could start with a historical overview of comedians in the silents, going through to early talkies and different movements (physical comedy, intellectual comedy, etc. and their overlaps). On through to maybe absurdist & postmodern comedy? Just some thoughts. Koyaanis Qatsi 08:38 18 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Apart from all that, the list of "notable comedies" is dismal. Some of these titles are unwatchable. MisfitToys 09:06, Apr 12, 2004 (UTC)
I've provided a skeleton which might help people to get started, make them feel less intimidated. I will certainly start on the British section tomorrow ... note to self - don't forget Will Hay!
List of comedy films
List of comedy films would be a better title for this "article". --Mrwojo 23:38, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- It would be nice to have a decent Comedy film article, but at the moment this isn't it. I agree - this should be moved to List of comedy films. violet/riga (t) 23:58, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Expansion
- Comedy film: User Koyaanis Qatsi makes this great suggestion..."Maybe we could start with a historical overview of comedians in the silents, going through to early talkies and different movements (physical comedy, intellectual comedy, etc. and their overlaps). On through to maybe absurdist & postmodern comedy." Wish someone could or would. Kingturtle 07:56, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- This has been greatly expanded as a list since Jan 2004, but there is no overview prose. Others above suggest moving this to List of comedy films and presumably starting from scratch. -- Beland 04:01, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
