I mean movies that are just like regular modern comedy movies but take place in a historical setting. Some examples include “The Little Hours” and “A Million Ways to Die in the West.” Furthermore, does anybody have any more examples of movies like these?
Period comedy
Anachronistic comedy.
I mean, did you just make up that term? Or is that an actual genre comedy?
I don’t disagree that your term is adequately descriptive, I’m just curious as to whether that is a known name for this genre of comedy. I’m not trying to argue here.
I made it up… that’s all.
