What's the movie genre called that mixes historical settings and modern comedy?

Wild Bill@midwest.social to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 42 points –

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?

Examples:

  • Black Knight (2001)
  • arguably, A Knight's Tale (2001) if you consider it sufficiently funny (big year for anachronistic knights)
  • All of the Ice Age films I guess
  • Year One (2009)

there's actually tons of these.
