1 of 10
Share this Gallery
What movie will make you laugh the most? It's a question that people ask whenever they decide to watch a comedy flick. In the hope of answering this ancient question, a panic of experts over at LoveFilm have watched ten of the funniest movies of all time and calculated exactly how many laughs per minute these comedy hits are able to pull from an audience.
"We asked our members to vote for the ten movies that make them laugh the most, and then conducted our own research into how many times those included in this list made us giggle," said LoveFilm editor Helen Cowley.
Monty Python: Life Of Brian was voted the funniest movie ever by the public. But it only managed tenth place in the 'laughs per minute' stakes.
Click through the gallery to find out which movie won the most laughs per minute in the new funny flick survey.

Where are the Laurel and Hardy classics? As a respectable gentleman who goes fly fishing and plays bowls, I demand that they are included in the list.

Mostly American tripe - not funny,- silly ! . And Borat ? give me a break .

Dumb and Dumber has not been mentioned nor Blazing Saddles, who on earth decided that the top ten would be better than these films? However, its only an opinion, American humour is a great deal different to ours.

No Woody Allen, no Marx Brothers, no Spinal Tap?
Judging a film by how many laughs it gets? Very scientific. I rarely laugh out loud at Laurel & Hardy films, that doesn't mean that they are "not funny". Humour is not a numbers game. These surveys only go to prove that some things cannot be measured.

What? No "Blazing Saddles"??? I honestly came close to wetting myself when I went to see it! Airplane, I'd give 8 out of 10 - Blazing Saddles 11 out of 10!!!

Pink Panther films? Laurel and Hardy? Chaplin? Keaton? Carry on ...? Cartoons? Shrek?
I agree that Naked Gun, Airplane and Life of Brian are funny but haven't seen the rest in your list.

sorry but whoever devised this 'science' is clearly dim-witted, childish and was bullied at school! Bridesmaids??!! never have i heard so much rott even when i attended a 'who's got the rott' contest back in the summer of 86 and was made to sit in the front row! ( by the way the winner of the contest was the feature film Howard the Duck).
