7 Funniest Throwback Movies to Watch When You Need a Laugh

After a long day of being stuck in traffic, dealing with that talkative co-worker and forgetting to pay your credit card bill, sometimes all you need to do is sprawl on the couch and watch fun movies.

While they may not all be available to stream on Netflix, these are the comedy movies to watch and add to your collection because they’re just that funny. Ranging from nostalgia to romcoms to pure hilarity, here are seven fun movies to watch when you need a good pick-me-up.

1 “21 JUMP STREET”

Sure, it’s another buddy cop movie. But Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum’s adorable bromance paired with the two disguised as high schoolers are just what you need. Plus, the stupid and a tad-bit vulgar humor throughout the movie is great too. (And no matter what anyone says, “22 Jump Street” is just as good.)

2 “MEAN GIRLS”

Thanks to “Mean Girls,” Wednesdays have never been the same, hair looks sexiest pushed back and fetch will never happen. It’s safe to say Mean Girls is the comedic movie of our generation and the limit to us quoting it will never exist.

3 “PITCH PERFECT”

For those who love a capella music, sassy one-liners and horrible puns, “Pitch Perfect” will make you laugh out loud. Perhaps, it’ll even make you want to join an a capella group. (Or not.)

4 “THE HANGOVER”

Zach Galifianakis with a satchel is already pretty funny. But add in Ken Jeong and Mike Tyson, and The Hangover is the hysterical Las Vegas trip you won’t want to experience. Remember, tigers hate pepper. They love cinnamon.

5 “THE PROPOSAL”

How much more do you need than Betty White and Sandra Bullock rapping “Get Low” in the middle of a forest?

6 “PRINCESS DIARIES”

Not only is this movie terribly nostalgic, but quirky teenager Anne Hathaway becoming the Princess of Genovia is the family-friendly comedy everyone needs to see. Let this royal cast take you back to the simpler times of wanting to be a princess and making your foot pop.

7 “HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS”

It’s the classic rom-com plot where a magazine columnist does some investigative journalism on a handsome man. But let’s just this one beats the rest due to Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey’s chemistry. Not to mention, we also love the Chinese Crested Dog peeing on a pool table. Classic.
