All entries are mentioned in chronological order. So, without further ado, here is an extensive selection of great movies that combine the contrary worlds of comedy and drama in various proportions exclusively, or with a few touches of other genres in the mix, too. That is why, in an attempt to deal with any genre eligibility issues arisen, there is a separate section at the end of the list in which some great movies not unanimously accepted as comedy-dramas are mentioned.

Thus it comes as no surprise that dramedies are one of the most prevalent merges of movie genres.ĭistinguishing comedy-dramas from films not easily regarded as such is certainly not the simplest task in the world, because, despite the filmmakers’ initial aspirations, or the critics’ and the promotion companies’ labelling efforts, it all comes down to each viewer’s personal taste and overall feel for a specific work of art.

Walking the fine line between comedy and drama has always been a natural way of picturing life’s mood swings on screen.
