The moment has arrive! Get ready to grin, giggle and guffaw as The Classic Movie Blog Association rolls out our Spring 2026 Blogathon, “Make ‘Em Laugh,” running Monday, May 4 through Friday, May 8.
We hope CMBA members will join us in celebrating the joy of laughter in all its classic forms, from the glitz of musical comedies to the pratfalls of slapstick and vaudeville, to sparkling screwball repartee banter and beloved romantic comedies. Silents, international films, cartoons and comic shorts. If it tickles your funny bone, then it's fair game. We will spotlight the films and performers who remind us that laughter is timeless and wonderfully universal.
