United States Comedy feel goodnostalgic
Dumb and Dumber and Groundhog Day sit at opposite ends of the decade’s comic range, pure slapstick versus a genuinely smart premise. The Big Lebowski barely made money on release and is now the most quoted film here.
01 
02 A sequel that's weirder and somehow funnier than the original premise.
03 Chris Farley and David Spade at their most reliably silly.
04 Cartoon logic applied to a live-action body with real commitment.
05 Jim Carrey physically incapable of lying, which is funnier than it sounds.
06 Spy-parody silliness that spawned a whole catchphrase economy.
07 A courtroom comedy that's also just a genuinely good courtroom drama.
08 A Christmas staple that holds up purely on slapstick craft.
09 Robin Williams in disguise, and somehow it never feels like a gimmick.
10 Party on, excellent, and still funnier than most SNL spinoffs since.
11 Gross-out comedy with an actual romantic backbone underneath.
12 Turned Jane Austen into the most quotable teen comedy of the decade.
13 Peak Jim Carrey physical comedy, dumb by design and better for it.
14 A time-loop premise that still gets remade in spirit every few years.
15 The Dude abides, and somehow the plot stopped mattering decades ago.
