Barbie, Clueless, and Legally Blonde are among the greatest comedies directed by women.
While countless iconic and memorable comedies directed by men have certainly caught the attention of many over the years, there is no doubt that many women filmmakers have also made a name for themselves in the genre, proving that the female gaze is very much appreciated in films of the category.
9 'Legally Blonde' This Reese Witherspoon film arguably endures, after all these years, the star's career-making performance. Legally Blonde breaks stereotypes and reflects on female empowerment while telling the story of a sorority girl who attempts to win back her ex-boyfriend by getting a Juris Doctor degree at Harvard.
A modern adaptation of Jane Austen's "Emma.," this top-notch comedy endures an extremely beloved movie in the genre, with many still wishing to own every piece in Cher's wardrobe. Stylish, light-hearted, and incredibly funny, Clueless is surely a must-watch. 6 'Daisies' Directed by feminist Czech filmmaker Vera Chytilová, Daisies remains one of the most groundbreaking comedies of all time. It is a masterful critique of communism and patriarchy by following two women breaking the barriers of the society they live in.Equal parts weird and hilarious, this surrealist, psychedelic, experimental comedy-drama makes for an incredible pick for those who want to give the compelling world of international movies a try.
4 'Barbie' Greta Gerwig's summer blockbuster is undoubtedly the movie that defined 2023 — that alone speaks for itself. In this live-action version of Barbieland, Margot Robbie plays Stereotypical Barbie. When she suddenly starts having strange thoughts surrounding her mortality and notices that her feet are becoming flat, Barbie realizes that she must embark on a self-discovery trip into the real world and find who is to blame.
Absurdly hilarious but also oddly daunting — a Queer Millennial Uncut Gems —the thrilling Shiva Baby is almost equal parts horror and comedy; it finds its lead Danielle caught up in an extremely unlikely and complex situation with nowhere to hide, making for an extremely intense and on-the-edge of your seat watch.
