Beverly Hills Cop, 1984
The quintessential 80s comedy cop thriller stars Eddie Murphy at the peak of his powers as Detective Foley – charming, fast-talking and smooth as polished ice, headed for Hollywood to investigate the murder of a childhood friend. And who could forget the insanely catchy theme tune?

The Big Lebowski, 1998
Jeff Bridges is 'The Dude' Lebowski, an aging slacker and ten-pin fanatic who just wants to go bowling but becomes unwittingly caught up in a complex abduction plot purely because he shares his surname with a mobster. John Goodman co-stars as a crazed Nam veteran in this wickedly funny black comedy loaded with all the Coen brothers' trademark wit and flair.

Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure, 1988
A totally excellent film with Keanu Reeves as Ted Theodore Logan, one half of a rock 'n' roll band destined to bring about world peace with their music - if they don't flunk out of high school first. Equipped with a time-travelling phone box, they manage to assemble a host of historical figures, including a bodacious Socrates, to save their bacon. Glorious entertainment from start to finish.

Billy Liar! 1963
From the director of Midnight Cowboy comes this superb, bittersweet comedy with Tom Courteney as inveterate fantasist Billy, trying to escape his humdum life in a dreary Northern town at the start of the 60s. Courtenay invests Billy with an irresistible feckless charm, turning a hopeless loser into a sort of heroic Everyman.

Blazing Saddles, 1974
Mel Brooks' raucous spoof of the western summons up just about every one of its stock clichés for a merciless parodying in this classic film. Blazing Saddles balances an irreverent backslap at Hollywood prejudice with a tireless, irresistible vulgarity, and the humour zips from harrumphing slapstick to highbrow satire.
