Best of the Decade - #21

The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)
Directed by: Judd Apatow



Really? One of the best films of the decade? Yes indeed. Not only that, but I would consider it a benchmark for modern day comedy. I'm not completely sure why I needed to justify this pick with the pseudo-argument I made because The 40 Year Old Virgin has all the elements of not only a great comedy but a great movie. Apatow pieces together enormous laughs and the subtitles of human drama... wait, there's nothing subtle about this movie. A lot of comedies are quotable, a lot are funny even upon repeated viewings but very few are both along with continuously being a great movie.
