Top Funniest Movies

One of the things that almost every movie lover looks for in a movie is good humor. Movies which incorporate jokes and scenes which leave viewers laughing are always appreciated. People can even watch them over and over just to enjoy the good humor. This is the primary reason why various movie makers emphasize on ensuring that they make the movies as enjoyable as possible by including comedy. The movie’s story line might be about something serious but acted in a hilarious manner. The comedy incorporated in the various movies does not necessarily change the theme of the movie. Instead, it can explain a story in a humorous way to make the viewers stay glued to the screen until they hear or see the last funny scene.

Some of the movies that incorporate comedy usually tell stories which people are familiar with or activities which people experience in their day to day lives. For instance, a movie might tell the story of how a certain war was fought but if the story is told in a funny way, it will make viewers see the better side of the particular war.  Here is a list of the top funniest movies ever made.

Becoming A Movie Extra

The term extras can be used interchangeably with background actors to refer to the people who fill scenery to give it a sense of reality. They are the crowds, passersby, people walking on the sidewalk, and suspicious onlookers, who add life to commercials, television shows and movies. These characters do not speak, and when they do, their voices remain indistinguishable among a multitude of voices.

Various reports indicate that extras are stigmatized during the course of their regular work. This stigma is a result of the assumptions of various directors who view extras as non-actors, whose work is to simply fill the background of a scene. It is a common belief in Hollywood that if a director identifies a person working as a background performer, then that director will only view that individual as an extra, and will never take them seriously or even consider hiring them as principal actors. However, doing extra work can actually be very beneficial for aspiring actors, and even serve as a platform for entry into major acting. The following are four ways in which an aspiring actor can benefit from being a movie extra. Read entire article.
