To grab some popcorn, sit back on the couch and stream a comedy movie is as good as life gets. They always say laughter is the best medicine! So, why not treat yourself to a strong dose of comic genius? PVR Pictures bring to you four of the funniest comedy films now playing online:

Fading Gigolo (2013)

Woody Allen starring in a comedy is incentive enough for any cinephile to hit the play button, but this funny little gem also has the supremely talented John Turturro don the director's hat, apart from featuring in the title role.

Fading Gigolo is the story of Fioravante, a man who decides to solve his friend's money troubles by joining the `oldest profession in the world`. What begins as a quick attempt to make a few bucks, translates into a crazy mess when the aspiring gigolo falls for a widow who is also desired by a local police officer. As a rollicking love triangle ensues, the laughs just get better and better.

With a cast that also includes Modern Family star Sofia Vergara along with the scintillating Sharon Stone, this one's for fans of cheeky wit and intelligent banter.

Fading Gigolo is available on iTunes and Google Play Movies

Youth (2015)

Sir Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel and the majestic snow capped Alps, now that's quite a delightful combo, isn't it?

Youth follows the journey of Fred (Caine) and Mick (Keitel), two old time chums who are on a vacation up in the Swiss mountains. While Fred is a retired musician, Mick is a filmmaker on the verge of finishing a very important script, one he believes would be his `last great movie`. As the two lifelong pals witness changing times and observe their children's complicated lives, Fred receives a royal offer he literally `can't refuse`. Laden with warm moments and sweet laughs, this film will tickle its way into your heart.

Youth is available on Amazon Prime Video

As his skill takes him to great places, we discover the bittersweet childhood of an orphan and his unbelievable flight to fame.
