So this year BBC Culture decided to get serious about comedy. We asked 253 film critics – 118 women and 135 men – from 52 countries and six continents a simple: “What do you think are the 10 best comedies of all time?” Films from any country made since cinema was invented were eligible, and BBC Culture did nothing to define in advance what a comedy is; we left that to each of the critics to decide. As always, we urged the experts to go with their heart and pick personal favourites, films that are part of their lives, not just the ones that meet some ideal of greatness.

所以今年BBC文化版块决定对喜剧严肃一些。我们收集了来自6大洲52个国家共计253名影评人（118名女性，135名男性）关于“你心目中最伟大的10部喜剧”的意见。自电影发明以来的任何国家的电影都可以，BBC文化也从未事先定义何为喜剧；我们将此自由留给每一个影评人。我们一如既往地主张影评人追随内心，选择个人最爱的、已成为他们生活中一部分的电影，而非仅仅符合“伟大”理念的电影。

And guess what? Only three of those best picture-winning comedies made the top 100. But, in a surprise, quite a few comedies made since 2000 made the cut, even if they had been overlooked in our 100 greatest films of the 21st Century list last year. The highest-ranked film of this century is Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy at number 33. Toni Erdmann is the most recent film to make the top 100, while Safety Last! is the oldest.
