Comedy movies make our world go around, especially here at the Glamour HQ, where we love to laugh. And with good reason: a healthy dose of laughter helps boost your mood and get those happy hormones pumping. It’s literally science.

Don’t believe us? Well, studies show that the short-term benefits of laughter include *cue speedy pharmaceutical advert style voice*: intake of oxygen-rich air; stimulation of muscles, including your heart and lungs; increased endorphins; activation and relief of your stress response; and muscle relaxation. We also hear that laughter is a pretty cheap way to help fix a broken heart, and for that, we say thank you. Basically, we're not saying you should trade the aspirin for a comedy flick, but putting on a funny movie won't hurt. And we know the very best ones to get those endorphins flowing.
