Let’s talk about the greatest streaming giant and our favorite streaming platform where we can binge-watch any TV shows or movies without any interruption by exasperating commercials and pop-ups. The feature of providing the best comedies on Netflix with every single episode of the series in one go makes it stand out from the rest of the streaming platforms that release new episodes once a week.
Netflix has always been focused on providing a wide variety of quality content and original series, which improves the experience of the audience who cannot waste their precious time flipping through movies to find something interesting to watch.
But still, we are running out of old classics and funny movies that amused the people of every generation with their on-point comedic movements that make it up to the comedy genre (if you call them old-fashioned and quirky, then you have bad taste).
These comedy movies have an amazing storyline along with talented cast members. The number of old comedy films has decreased over the years because of the trending searches and the low popularity of these evergreens.
But we have been noticing a return of true classics on Netflix lately. So, here is the list of 48 old movies that you can stream anytime on Netflix.
48. A Futile and Stupid Gesture (2018)
- Run Time: 1 hr 41 min
- Director: David Wain
- Cast: Will Forte, Domhnall Gleeson, Martin Mull, Emmy Rossum, Joel McHale, Thomas Lennon, Matt Walsh, Neil Casey, Matt Lucas, Natasha Lyonne, Ed Helms, Max Greenfield, Paul Scheer, and Jon Daly
A Futile and Stupid Gesture is a must-see for comedy nerds. Through the eyes of co-founder Doug Kenney (Will Forte), a hilarious free spirit who would go on to co-write Animal House and Caddyshack before meeting an untimely end, the Netflix original movie traces the beginnings of National Lampoon magazine.
47. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)
- Run Time: 2 hr 12 min
- Directors: Joel and Ethan Coen
- Cast: Tim Blake Nelson, Tyne Daly, James Franco, Brendan Gleeson, Bill Heck, Grainger Hines, Zoe Kazan, Harry Melling, Liam Neeson, Jonjo O’Neill, Chelcie Ross, Saul Rubinek, Tom Waits, Clancy Brown, Jefferson Mays, Stephen Root, and Willie Watson
It’s possible to categorize almost every Coen Brothers film as a comedy in some way, and even their few straight dramas are full of biting humor. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, a six-part Western anthology that tells six diverse stories with a variety of tones but all touching upon the same theme: death, is a prime example of this.
46. The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience (2019)
- Run Time: 30 min
- Director: Akiva Schaffer and Mike Diva
- Cast: Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, Sterling K. Brown, and Maya Rudolph
I humbly recommend The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience if you’re looking for a lot of laughs in a hurry. The special is presented as a rap album that baseball greats Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire produced in the 1980s, when they were known as the “Bash Brothers,” and serves essentially as a short film to go along with a new Lonely Island album.
45. Sorry to Bother You (2018)
- Run Time: 1 hr 52 min
- Director: Boots Riley
- Cast: Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Jermaine Fowler, Omari Hardwick, Terry Crews, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Danny Glover, Steven Yuen, and Armie Hammer
It’s best to go into Sorry to Bother You with as little knowledge as possible, but if you must know the quick summary, it centers on Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield), a young black man who finds he is an expert at telemarketing when he dons his “white voice,” but as he starts to become more successful, he starts compromising his morals.
44. Set It Up (2018)
- Run Time: 1 hr 45 min
- Director: Claire Scanlon
- Cast: Zoey Deutch, Glen Powell, Lucy Liu, and Taye Diggs
You should definitely give Claire Scanlon’s endearing Set It Up a look if you’re looking for a charming romantic comedy but don’t want to watch something from a previous decade for the umpteenth time.
The story revolves around two troubled assistants (Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell), who made the decision to set up their respective bosses (Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs), just to get some much-needed free time from their demanding jobs.
43. I Care a Lot (2020)
- Run Time: 1 hr 58 min
- Director: J Blakeson
- Cast: Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, Eiza González, Chris Messina, and Dianne Weist
I Care a Lot will probably be your favorite comedy if you like your dark comedies dark, and I mean pitch black. Rosamund Pike plays a shrewd, persistent, and unrepentant con artist in the Netflix original series who makes a living by gaining guardianship over elderly people and using their money as her own piggy bank.
42. Murder Mystery (2019)
- Run Time: 1 hr 37 min
- Director: Kyle Newacheck
- Cast: Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Luke Evans
Although Adam Sandler’s history with Netflix original movies could be described as, uh, spotty, there is one genuinely incredibly endearing gem on the list in the form of Murder Mystery. After Just Go With It (which was also pretty good), Jennifer Aniston and the Sandman are reunited.
The movie centers on married NYPD officer Nick (Sandler) and hairdresser Audrey as they become more and more involved in a murder mystery on the yacht of a newly-met billionaire.
41. Paddington (2014)
- Run Time: 1 hr 35 min |
- Director: Paul King
- Cast: Ben Whishaw, Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Waters, Nicole Kidman, Jim Broadbent, and Peter Capaldi
The 2014 film Paddington is a lovely introduction to the maramalade-loving bear, even though Paddington 2 frequently garners all the attention. Ben Whishaw’s character Paddington travels to London from his native Darkest Peru in search of a new family.
40. The Addams Family (1991)
- Run Time: 1 hr 39 min
- Director: Barry Sonnenfeld
- Cast: Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd, Christina Ricci, Jimmy Workman, Judith Malina, Carel Struycken, Christopher Hart, John Franklin
Visit The Addams Family right away if you need a scary movie to lift your spirits! Heck, snap twice while listening to the entrancing theme song! The Addams Family, a family-friendly work of entertainment based on the iconic macabre family first imagined by cartoonist Charles Addams, wears its Halloween-friendly aesthetics like so many fierce Anjelica Huston lewks (that is to say, perfectly).
39. Do Revenge (2022)
- Run Time: 1 hr 58 min
- Director: Jennifer Kaytin Robinson
- Cast: Camila, Mendes, Maya Hawke, Austin Abrams, Sarah Michelle Gellar
Do Revengebrings brings the black teen comedy of 90s classics like Jawbreaker and Cruel Intentions to a Gen Z audience and is one of Netflix’s more recent releases. Drea (Camila Mendes) vows to wreck havoc on her boyfriend’s life after he posts intimate photos of her around their prestigious high school.
38. Moxie (2021)

- Cast: Amy Poehler, Hadley Robinson, Lauren Tsai, Alycia Pascual-Pena
Amy Poehler (Inside Out) is the film’s director and stars alongside Hadley Robinson, Lauren Tsai, and Alycia Pascual-Pena (Saved by the Bell) in Moxie, which is based on the Jennifer Mathieu novel of the same name. Robinson portrays Vivian, a shy adolescent who, motivated by tales of her mother’s rebellious youth, organizes a secret protest against sexism at her school with the help of her friends.
37. You People (2023)
- Run Time: 1 hr 57 min
- Director: Kenya Barris
- Cast: Jonah Hill, Lauren London, Eddie Murphy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Director Kenya Barris (Black-ish)’shilariousfamily comedy You People stars Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy (Coming 2 America). You People, co-written by Barris and Hill, lightens up serious subjects like racial tension and generational conflict.
The unquestionably excellent cast, which includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Nia Long, Lauren London, and David Duchovny, are the real stars of You People because they provide the humor rather than relying on the occasionally formulaic script.
36. Mascots
- Year: 2016
- Director: Christopher Guest
- Stars: Jane Lynch, Parker Posey, Fred Willard, Christopher Guest, Ed Begley Jr., Jennifer Coolidge, Harry Shearer, Zach Woods
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 49%
- Rating: NR
- Runtime: 120 minutes
Christopher Guest mockumentaries may be the best example of “diminishing returns” on the planet, but it takes a long way to fall from the unparalleled heights of Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show.
To wit: His most recent movie, Mascots, is still packed with funny jokes and excellent acting. Ed Begley Jr., Parker Posey, Jane Lynch, Fred Willard, and a large portion of his stock company return for the Netflix exclusive. Although Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara are noticeably absent, the ensemble is still filled with skilled improvisers.
35. Always Be My Maybe
- Year: 2019
- Director: Nahnatchka Khan
- Stars: Ali Wong, Randall Park, Keanu Reeves, Michelle Buteau, Vivian Bang, Karan Soni
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 89%
- Rating: PG-13
- Runtime: 102 minutes
Always Be My Maybe truly surpasses all rom-com expectations. A movie written by and starring Ali Wong and Randall Park was always going to be a home run. The two play childhood friends who lose touch after an impulsive teenage romance goes wrong in the script they co-wrote with Michael Golamco.
34. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
- Year: 2010
- Director: Edgar Wright
- Stars: Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Brie Larson, Chris Evans, Alison Pill, Aubrey Plaza, Jason Schwartzman, Kieran Culkin
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 81%
- Rating: PG-13
- Runtime: 113 minutes
All of Edgar Wright’s movies have, in some sense, been romantic comedies. Hot Fuzz just so happens to have two male leads as its romantic leads, while Shaun of the Dead just so happens to have zombies.
In this regard, Wright’s attempt at a rom-com, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, is perhaps his most blatant. In the world of relationships, dealing with your romantic partner’s previous relationships is a situation that is all too common.
33. The Nice Guys
- Year: 2016
- Directors: Shane Black
- Stars: Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, Angourie Rice, Margaret Qualley, Keith David
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 92%
- Rating: R
- Runtime: 116 minutes
With just the right amount of polishing, average films can transform into gems thanks to strong performances. Think of Alan Rickman in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves or Jennifer Lawrence in Silver Linings Playbook.
Every step Shane Black’s The Nice Guys takes in the direction of quality is supported by Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling’s talents. Black is just as quick with punchlines as he is with action scenes. The Nice Guys are a hoot. It is thrilling.
32. The ‘Burbs
- Year: 1989
- Director: Joe Dante
- Stars: Tom Hanks, Bruce Dern, Carrie Fisher, Rick Ducommun, Corey Feldman, Wendy Schaal, Brother Theodore, Courtney Gains, Gale Gordon, Dick Miller, Robert Picardo, Franklin Ajaye
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 53%
- Rating: PG
- Runtime: 103 minutes
Yes, it is true that Joe Dante’s popularity in the horror genre started to wane after classics like Gremlins and The Howling, but The ‘Burbs is still a movie that is largely forgotten today.
It appears to be a fairly typical comedy at first, but Tom Hanks soon begins to suspect that their new neighbors are responsible for the death and consumption of the elderly man who lives at the end of the street.
31. Dumb and Dumber
- Year: 1994
- Director: Peter and Bobby Farrelly
- Stars: Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, Lauren Holly, Teri Garr, Karen Duffy, Mike Starr
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 68%
- Rating: PG-13
- Runtime: 106 minutes
There is a particular type of nihilism at work in the Farrelly Brothers’ debut film, one that celebrates stupidity above all else. This isn’t because the Farrellys prefer stupidity to intelligence, but rather because they don’t seem to see any real consequences in the kind of ignorance that Lloyd (Jim Carrey, in one of his best roles ever) and Harry (Jeff Daniels) inhabit, making morality irrelevant for these characters.
30. Sleepless in Seattle
- Year: 1993
- Director: Nora Ephron
- Stars: Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, Rosie O’Donnell, Bill Pullman, Rob Reiner
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 74%
- Rating: PG
- Runtime: 105 minutes
Writer/director Nora Ephron’s Sleepless in Seattle is essentially one big love letter to An Affair to Remember from 1957. Annie (Meg Ryan) watches Rita Wilson’s moving summary of the film before writing Sam (Tom Hanks) and asking him to meet her on Valentine’s Day at the top of the Empire State Building, as Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr attempt to do in their film.
29. Easy A
- Year: 2010
- Director: Will Gluck
- Stars: Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, Amanda Bynes, Thomas Haden Church, Patricia Clarkson, Stanley Tucci, Malcolm McDowell, Lisa Kudrow
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 85%
- Rating: PG-13
- Runtime: 93 minutes
Numerous comedies have emphasized the singularly distinctive nature of high school. Most of them have vanished into late-night obscurity, but a few, including Mean Girls, Clueless, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, have provided witty accounts of this almost legendary rite of adolescence.
28. Parenthood
- Year: 1989
- Director: Ron Howard
- Stars: Steve Martin, Mary Steenburgen, Dianne Wiest, Jason Robards, Rick Moranis, Tom Hulce, Martha Plimpton, Keanu Reeves, Harley Jane Kozak, Dennis Dugan, Joaquin Phoenix, Eileen Ryan
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 92%
- Rating: PG-13
- Runtime: 124 minutes
An ensemble cast of comic actor nirvana is featured in the family dramedy Parenthood, which is directed by Ron Howard (who couldn’t be more at home in this role).
The story primarily centers on the worries of Father Gil Buckman (Steve Martin), whose sister Helen (the incomparable Dianne Wiest) is forced to arbitrate her disobedient teenage daughter (Martha Plimpton) and secret husband (Keanu Reeves, fresh off of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, released earlier in the same year), as well as worrying over her puberty-struck son Gary (Joaquin Phoenix), whose reclusive behavior.
27. Fletch
- Year: 1985
- Director: Michael Ritchie
- Stars: Chevy Chase, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, Tim Matheson, Joe Don Baker, Richard Libertini, Geena Davis, M. Emmet Walsh, George Wendt
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 77%
- Rating: PG
- Runtime: 98 minutes
Chevy Chase had the opportunity to display his comedic range in Michael Ritchie’s Fletch, a comedy that heavily references film noir. Investigative journalist Irwin “Fletch” Fletcher adopted several hilariously ridiculous personas from John Coctotostan (“Can I borrow your towel? My car just ran over a water buffalo.”) to Harry S. Truman (“My parents were huge Harry S. Truman fans”).
26. National Lampoon’s Animal House
- Year: 1978
- Director: John Landis
- Stars: John Belushi, Tim Matheson, Karen Allen, Peter Riegert, John Vernon, Tom Hulce, Bruce McGill, Stephen Furst, Donald Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, Mark Metcalf, Verna Bloom
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 91%
- Rating: R
- Runtime: 109 minutes
the modern era. Many things that might have been acceptable 45 years ago, when Animal House was released, are categorically unacceptable now. Even when I first saw John Belushi’s peeping tom act in the early 1990s, it struck me as being uncomfortable and out of date, let alone the use of statutory rape as a punchline.
The sexual politics in Animal House may be difficult for younger audiences to understand, but if you can get past them (which probably weren’t all that unrealistic for a group of college boys in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, or 2000s…), you’ll find a comedy that otherwise lives up to its classic reputation and has had an almost incalculable influence on Hollywood comedies.

- Rating: R
- Runtime: 112 minutes
The comedy that Judd Apatow’s team was known for in the 2000s has been successfully grafted onto a different genre in Pineapple Express. The end result is a shaggy, low-budget crime thriller in the style of the ’70s that stars James Franco and Seth Rogen in an absurd stoner comedy.

Conclusion:
Netflix has always been on the top of the game and the toughest competitor to the rest of the streaming platforms which are claiming to provide a reckless amount of quality content to make us regular watchers. Unfortunately, these OTT platforms can never outshine the popularity of Netflix.
However, amidst all the hype, the number of classics has been continuously decreasing on Netflix. Old movies like Lego movie, Sleepless in Seattle, My Man Godfrey, and Overboard are nowhere in the picture.
