France loves and has always loved its popular comedies. It is enough to be convinced of this by looking at the box office to see the important place of this cinematic genre.
For example, for 2010-2020, among the thirty places we find six comedies What to do with God and its sequel, two films by Danny Boone (La Ch’tite famille and Rien à declare), the third adventure. From the Tuche family and in first place in this ranking is a huge cardboard box produced by Intouchables, produced by Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano.
The 80s are no exception to the rule, with five films from this decade appearing in the top twenty. For example, we find Claude Zide’s Les Ripoux in 16th place. A kind of training day before the clock with an ambitious young inspector, played by Thierry Lhermitte, who finds himself faced with the much less moral methods of Inspector René Boisrond (Philippe Noiret), with whom he will have to unite anyway.
In sixth place is one of the three films of the “trilogy” that reunited Pierre Richard and Gerard Depardieu on the screen with Francis Weber’s La Chèvre, in which the French comedian Alexandre Benz recruited for his morbid clumsiness in the hope. to find his daughter and who will be associated with the private detective Kapana in this mission. A film that does not lack iconic lines!
At the top of this ranking, narrowly beating out Steven Spielberg’s ET, The Three Men’s Surprise, and Colin Serro’s The Basket, a film that hasn’t survived the decades the way others have. Comedies. of the same period.
