Sunday afternoons have their own particular energy, unhurried, slightly nostalgic, perfect for films that take their time. Comedy that earns its laughs, sharp writing, perfect timing, and performances that make it look effortless. All from the 2000s, a decade that produced some of the most ambitious and original films in recent memory. Genuinely funny, not just mildly amusing, these are the ones that catch you off guard.
