Most people would like to think that laughter is medicine. Well, this may hold true quite nicely. According to studies, laughing is actually more beneficial to us in more ways than we think. It not only lightens our mood; it also gives us a brighter outlook on things. So laugh, smile and be merry.

If ever you need a pick me up, try looking at some comedies that have just recently hit the silver screen. In recent years, there have been a whole lot of good comedy movies that have been released that's definitely worth watching more than once. Here are a couple of movies from the last ten years that you may want to watch again.

1. Super Bad

This movie could easily be described by one word and one word alone – awesome. Super Bad is actually a movie about three High School boys that have made it big during their last year in school. This movie is not for serious or literal people, after all, this is actually a comedy based on sex, drugs and alcohol. If you are a big Michael Cera, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill or a Bill Hader fan, this is definitely the movie for you to watch or own through DVD or Blu Ray discs. This is quite the tasteful teen comedy for people in that age group.

2. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

Who could ever resist to laugh out loud from the antics of Will Ferrell? Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is one of those films wherein you could laugh your heart out and learn something else at the same time. You definitely should not miss watching this movie because for one thing, it's incredibly funny and it shows you what was considered to be cool at a time where computers, mobile phones and the internet didn't exist just yet.

If you are going to watch it for the first time, you should look out for some really funny word definitions carried out by Mr. Burgundy himself. It is funny how a seemingly important public figure would turn out to be one of the biggest tools you will ever see. Well aside from this, you'll also find the theme of women learning to empower themselves in this movie, thanks to the efforts of Christina Applegate.

3. Tropic Thunder, who left the fridge open?

You'll find that this immensely entertaining movie is actually a combination of an action flick and a comedy. How these two genres worked together so perfectly had puzzled doubters and fans before watching this movie. Well, for those who still remain curious and puzzled how this movie pulled it off quite well, you don't need to look at a chubby version of Tom Cruise dancing to the beat of a Ludacris song. A star-studded cast of Stiller, Black and Downey Jr. alone is reason enough for this movie to pull it off. With a well-written script and incredibly funny scenes, you'll never go wrong with this movie.
