I think my favourite genre is comedy. Comedy has so many different styles for example slapstick or screwball many different kinds. I have two favourite types of comedy Parody/spoof and dark comedy.

First I will write about Parody. I like parody films like 

The Austin powers films

Something about  Mary

The Scream filmsJohn Hughes movies for example Ferris Bueller’s day off

I like parody films because they intimates a film and have the same conventions and mise-en-scene but they are making them funny like Austin Powers is the funny James Bond. However the John Hughes movies or Something About Mary may also have slapstick and verbal humor this comedy maybe known as Farce .

My second favourite genre of film is dark comedy like Tim Burton’s movies Beetlejuice. Tim Burton has a imaginative mind and has created many other movies which are mostly all fantasy including Sleepy Hollow, A nightmare before Christmas, Corpses bride, Edward scissorhands. Dark comedies have sarcastic and deals with some issuers in a funny way like death or war.

Comedy is one of the oldest film genres and slapstick was used as it was an easy way to get the message across with just actions in silent films. Many scenes in slapstick are over the top like chase of some sort or particle jokes. Probably the most famous silent actor in 1914 and onwards was Charlie Chaplin he worked for keystone films he was in many short films. Then he directed a movie called The Kid then in 1925 he was in The Gold Rush which is his most famous character. 

  Thew most famous duo in comedy was probably Laurel and Hardy they worked together for twenty years and they made a successful transition from being silent actors and then staring in talkies which are now just known as movies. What made them funny was their differences one was thin and the other was fat. One of their most famous films in Sons of the desert.

There were many coming of age films that were also comedy which I love The breakfast club about many teenagers dealing with life issues that many people could relate to but there not all serious they just relaxed about the issues. Also Pretty in Pink and Sixteen candles which are both about a girl that what’s some romance in her life. However my favourite film is probably Ferris Bueller’s Day Off as it is about a boy that is a prankster and pulls some funny pranks and Takes you along with his journey.

  Now most coming of age films are all about drugs, sex and humiliation like American pie which was good but all the sequels like beta house are just rubbish. There are many that can be funny like Hot Chick, Superbad, Tropic Thunder and others not so good.
