Logan Lucky is hilarious thanks, in large part, to its leads – Adam Driver and Daniel Craig in particular. The film still carries many of Soderberg’s trademarks – pacing, crime and eclectic editing – it even has his familiar indie photography but it is in the comedy in which this caper sets itself apart from the pack. Known for his super cool and jazzy thrillers, with extra emphasis on the cool, it came as shock when Soderberg released Logan Lucky. When Steven Soderbergh releases a film the first thing that comes to mind usually isn’t “this’ll be hilarious”. Without further ado, here is our top ten comedies of 2017. And what better way to do it than with a list. So, it is a year to celebrate cinema and all of the hilarious treasures it has provided this year. Whilst all are hilarious in their own right, they also expand into other genres and thus deliver a diverse emotional impact. Many of the films on this list reflect the current trend in modern day cinema: genre hybridity.

This year, superheroes made us weep with laughter in the most unexpected of ways, TV comedians delivered whip smart, big screen delights, and we were given one of the weirdest and most delightful biopics to grace the screen since Man on the Moon.

From the beginning of the year to the end, from America to overseas, the genre has had an impressive year despite such a sad state of affairs everywhere else in the world. In a year of brilliant cinema – Oscar season will be a doozy this year – the comedy genre has stood out for its consistency, quality and, importantly, it’s freshness. Thankfully, the movies have been there to keep our spirits high and have given us something to laugh about. In short, it’s all been a bit depressing. The world is divided politically, monsters in powerful places – and our heroes alike – have been revealed as sex offenders, and many talented people have left us. 2017 has been a year that has been lacking laughs in terms of mainstream news.
