Maybe our most beloved modern comedy, Bridesmaids’ stacked ensemble made it what it is with some of the most indelible scenes – Kristen Wiig high on an airplane, Maya Rudoloph relieving herself in the street wearing a giant wedding dress, and pretty much every scene that solidified Melissa McCarthy as the funniest person alive. The plot could have been incidental, there to string together a series of jokes, but it contains real moments of character development and warmth, as Annie (Wiig) navigates friendship, jealousy, and self-worth amid the chaotic planning of her best friend’s wedding. Best experienced amid other people’s collective belly laughs. – Lina Fisher
