Top 11 Hollywood Comedy Movies Before 1980


Comedy? When this word enters in our ear we all just forget about everything and we pass out all difficulties and depression from our life. So we first need to know about the comedy films and when it introduced to the whole world's film industry etc. So let check every infomation about 1980's Hollywood comedy films.

A comedy film is a classification of film wherein the principle accentuation is on humor. These movies are intended to make the crowd giggle through delight and regularly work by misrepresenting attributes for diverting effect. Films in this style generally have a glad consummation (dark parody being an exemption). Probably the most seasoned type in film—and got from the old style satire in theater—the absolute soonest quiet movies were comedies, as droll parody regularly depends on visual portrayals, without requiring sound. At the point when sound movies turned out to be more predominant during the 1920s, satire films took another swing, as giggling could result from vaudeville circumstances yet in addition discourse.

The principal parody movie was L'Arroseur Arrosé (1895), coordinated and created by Louis Lumière. The most noted satire entertainers of the period were Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, and Buster Keaton.

Satire/ Comedy films thrived during the 1980s — a brilliant period of parody in American film. Following a stretch of dull and dirty movies delivered during the 1970s that mirrored the country's temperament of dissatisfaction after Vietnam and Watergate, maybe crowds were prepared for something light and fun.

Of course, the 1980s wouldn’t have been such a golden age of humor without so many great comedic actors. The talent that graces our list includes Steve Martin, Bill Murray, John Candy, Charlie Chaplin, Lily Tomlin, and Eddie Murphy.
