Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, 1994

The film that turned Jim Carrey from unknown commodity into box office gold. As the eponymous pet detective, his unique animal-tracking skills are put to the test when he has to rescue the kidnapped mascot of the Miami Dolphins. This is the perfect platform for Carrey to showcase his physical comedy skills.

Airplane!, 1980

The Zucker brothers' riotous send-up of 50s B-movies and 70s disaster flicks not only spawned a whole legion of sight-gag-laden spoofs but also introduced the world to the concept of Leslie Nielsen as a comic actor, delighting with a volley of comic potshots at everything from Saturday Night Fever to From Here To Eternity.

American Pie, 1999

Sticky, messy and downright dirty, this is a teen comedy that actually reflects the lives of teenagers. The first high school movie to feature a teenager getting intimate with apple-filled pastry, this beltingly vulgar movie amply demonstrates how to be crude, lewd and very funny.

Annie Hall, 1977

A bittersweet, autobiographical romantic comedy, Annie Hall is the quintessential Woody Allen movie, featuring all of his favourite themes – love, relationships, neuroses, fame, guilt, pessimism and his love of New York. With one-liners like 'Don't knock masturbation, it's sex with someone I love", it's little wonder that this has remained Allen's best loved work.

Arsenic And Old Lace, 1944

A weird and wonderful black comedy about two murderous old spinsters, with a nasty hobby of poisoning vagrants and burying them in the cellar. Featuring an eye-poppingly comic performance from Cary Grant, this adaptation of the successful stage play is carried off with enjoyable lunacy.
