Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Chicago earns its spot. The jokes in Chicago land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Murderesses Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart find themselves on death row together and fight for the fame that will keep them from the gallows in 1920s Chicago. Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones lead a cast with the timing to make it work. Chicago came out in 2002. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Chicago holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Chicago respects your intelligence. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Renée Zellweger is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
