For family viewing, choosing movies has always been a headache.
Children may be happy watching animated movies all the time, but parents and the elderly can’t help but feel a little bored. I accidentally chose a PG+ movie, which contained some intimate scenes and elegant vocabulary, and I had to worry about the children's physical and mental well-being. There are also some excellent films that rise to the ethical level minute by minute, creating an awkward atmosphere between them.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, so we have carefully selected 10 classic comedy films that are absolutely "suitable for all ages". You can also enjoy them together after reunion~
01
"Lovely Animals" 1974
Director: Jamie Uys
Screenwriter: Jamie Uys
Country/Region of Production: South Africa
Language: English
Douban: 9.5
This is probably the cutest and most humorous documentary in the world. It was directed by Gami Uys, the director of "God Is Crazy", and won the 1975 Golden Globe Award for Best Documentary.
This film was shot entirely in Africa, introducing the animal inhabitants of the Namibia Desert and the Kalihari Desert from west to east. Although it is a documentary, it has a strong story and the director's narration is smooth, natural and full of humor.
Hyenas that often drool, drunk elephants, baboons that are frightened by snakes, warthogs that need to take a bath before getting married... Nature has created such interesting lives and gifted them with deserts, rivers, and forests. The master of the earth, humans, live in cement boxes and occasionally perceive the places where their ancestors once lived through images. It's also a fun experience.
A Douban netizen commented, "Every time I watch this movie, I laugh out loud in my dreams."
A film that humans cannot miss~
02
"Home Alone" 1990
Director: Chris Columbus
Screenwriter: John Hughes
Starring: Macaulay Culkin / Joe Pesci / Daniel Stern / John Heard / Roberts Blossom / Catherine O'Hara / Angela Goethals

Douban: 8.0
One of the most classic series of movies, an American family with a heart as big as the sea prepares for a Christmas vacation. When they arrive at the destination, they find that they have lost a baby. After thinking about it,It seems to have been lost at home. So the 8-year-old kid spent the holidays alone in an empty house, when two thieves who had just been released from prison broke in...
As a children's comedy, it is also very suitable for careless parents. It was also nominated for two Oscars that year, which shows people's love for "Home Alone".
03
"Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" 1966
Director: Gerald Urie
Screenwriter: Marcel Jullian / Gerald Urie / Danielle Thompson
Starring: Louis de Fiennes/Bourville/Claudio Brook/Andrée Parisi/Colette Brosset/Marie Dubois
Language: French / English / German
Douban: 8.9
It is not easy to turn a war theme into a comedy, but it is even more rare to be able to be unique and unconventional. This film ranks 108th on Douban's TOP250 list. The story takes place during World War II. A British plane was hit by the Germans. Several soldiers parachuted to escape and agreed to meet in a Turkish bath. They landed at different locations in the German-occupied areas of Paris, and several people made new friends. After all kinds of jokes, the soldiers' new friends finally met in the bathroom and successfully helped the soldiers escape from the German army.
The French filmed the British escaping the persecution of the Germans with the help of the Parisians. The children watched the adventurous jokes, and the adults definitely gained more~
04
"House of Paris" 2009
Director: Lauren Tyrard
Screenwriter: Gori Laurie Weingnerian/Lauren Tyrard
Starring: Maxime Godard / Valerie Le Mercier / Cade Maillard / Sandrina Kiberan / Victor Calles / Vincent Claude / Charles Valente / Benjamin Afverty / Germain D'Amico Jr. / Damian Fedor / Virgil· Tyrard / Eliza Ouse / Gerald Junod

Douban: 8.6
The funny Frenchman also brought his best-selling comic series to the screen. This light comedy with children as the protagonist surpassed "2012" and "Transformers" to become the annual box office champion in France that year.
The little naughty Nicholas mistakenly thought that his parents were going to give birth to a new baby and then abandon him. Several friends with different personalities in the class gathered together to help him make suggestions. The family is facing a crisis, and the school is also undergoing a sudden change. The little naughty boy and his friends decide to take action!
Hahahahaha, the expression is eye-catching~
It is very consistent with some of the current phenomena in China. The world of children is so wonderful~
05
"Daydreamer" 2013
Director: Ben Stiller
Screenwriter: Steven Conrad / James Thurber
Starring: Ben Stiller / Kristen Wiig / Adam Scott / Shirley MacLaine / Sean Penn / Kathryn Hahn / Terrence Bernie Haynes / Paul Fitzgerald
Language: English
Douban: 8.3
Most PG-rated comedies are animated films or children's films. Occasionally, a good PG comedy film with an adult as the protagonist comes out. Don't miss it. It resonates with adults, is meaningful to children, and is memorable to the elderly.
The protagonist of this film works in a magazine. When he reaches middle age, he often frees himself up and engages in "little theater in his head." His ordinary life was broken when the company was acquired. In order to make the cover of the last issue of the magazine, he traveled across the ice field and the sea to find a mysterious film.
Inspirational but not outrageous, comedy not vulgar.
06
"Yangtze River No. 7" 2008
Director: Stephen Chow
Screenwriter: Stephen Chow / Gu Dezhao / Zeng Jinchang / Shao Liqiong / Feng Zhiqiang
Starring: Stephen Chow / Xu Jiao / Zhang Yuqi / Lin Zicong / Feng Mianheng / Yao Wenxue
Language: English / Mandarin Chinese / Cantonese
Douban: 6.2
Sing Ye, who has always been obsessed with scale and weird tastes, rarely makes a movie that can be watched by children, and the result is a huge hit...
Many film critics believe that Stephen Chow gave up his original "little guy" image in this movie, smoothed his edges, lost his stubbornness, and served a bowl of chicken soup in a prostrate posture.
But I don’t think this fairy tale feels cheap, and I still recommend it to everyone.
07
"Night at the Museum" 2006
Director: Sean Levy
Screenwriter: Robert Ben Gallant / Thomas Lennon / Milan Trenc
Starring: Ben Stiller / Owen Wilson / Robin Williams / Dick Van Dyke / Mickey Rooney / Bill Cobbs / Jack Cherry / Ricky Gervais
Language: English / Italian / Hebrew / Hunnic / Arabic
Douban: 7.2
The recently divorced male protagonist Dali is living in poverty. In order to fight for the custody of his son, he came to work as a night guard at the New York Museum of Natural History. He originally thought it was an easy and boring job, but he did not expect that when night came, the specimens in the museum suddenly came to life one after another, and everything became chaotic.
After the trouble was finally settled, a new crisis came again. In order to protect the Pharaoh's gold medal, Dali stepped forward!
The plot is simple, the pace is relaxed, and the various weird animal characters are also interesting.
08
"Mr. Bean's Big Disaster" 1997
Director: Mel Smith
Screenwriter: Richard Curtis / Rowan Atkinson / Robin Driscoll
Starring: Rowan Atkinson / Peter MacNicol / John Mills / Burt Reynolds / Johnny Galecki / Andrew Lawrence
Language: English
Douban: 7.9
When it comes to comedy, I must recommend the Chinese people’s good friend Mr. Bean!
In this episode, Dou worked as an ordinary employee of a British gallery, but accidentally became an expert in transporting masterpieces, and was warmly welcomed by an American museum. An accident occurred, and Dou accidentally destroyed his masterpiece. With the exhibition coming soon, he had to use all his skills to solve the crisis!
British humor, full of laughter in satire~
09
"Rio 2011"
Director: Carlos Saldanha
Screenwriter: Don Rymer
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg / Anne Hathaway / George Lopez / Rodrigo Santoro / Kate del Castillo / Carlos Pons
Language: English / Portuguese
Douban: 8.4
There are countless high-quality animated films. After much consideration, I recommend to you a classic masterpiece that combines music, singing, dancing, adventure, and animals - "Rio Adventure" produced by Blue Sky Animation Studio.
Jesse Eisenberg and Anne Hathaway lead the voices and tell the story of the adventure of the blue parrot. Audiences who are not going to the Olympics this year can take a look at the scenery of Rio through this family-friendly movie.
10
"City Lights" 1931
Director: Charlie Chaplin
Screenwriter: Charlie Chaplin / Harry Clive / Harry Crocker
Starring: Charlie Chaplin / Virginia Cherry / Florence Lee / Henry Bergman / Jean Harlow
Genre: Drama / Comedy / Romance
Country/Region of Production: United States
Language: English
Douban: 9.2
Finally, I recommend "City Lights" written, directed and starred by the comedy master Chaplin. No one can match Chaplin in both silent films and comedy.
In the film, the tramp played by Chaplin met a blind flower girl. In order to help the flower girl cure her illness, the tramp tried various methods and made many jokes. In the end, he was imprisoned due to misunderstanding.
Of course, the film ends with a comedy that brings tears of laughter and warms the heart.
