Caddyshack, 1980
This classic from the Saturday Night Live school of comedy sees American comedy titans Bill Murray and Chevy Chase swinging and slicing their way to the 18th hole in what is quite possibly the tightest niche of cinema – double act golf comedy. Murray and Chase effortlessly riff off each other's wicked comic talent to provide a perfectly irreverent and immensely watchable piece of vintage comedy which is undoubtedly a hole in one.

Carry On Cleo, 1964
Carry On films, love them or hate them, are quintessentially English in every way. When a series of films develops from a cult into a legacy, one cannot help but pay attention, and this is no exception. Williams, James et al are on top form in this classical classic. Running the whole comedic gamut from sly theatrical in-jokes to the baser bodily innuendos, one cannot fail to be charmed by this healthy portion of British comedy at its best.

Catch 22, 1970
War is hellishly hilarious in this adaptation of Joseph Heller's classic anti-war novel. Alan Arkin stars as Captain Yossarian, a paranoid bombardier convinced that everyone is out to kill him. He's right, of course, but it's the people supposedly on his side who prove more dangerous than his supposed foes. Deliriously demented, Catch-22 captures the essence of Heller's satirical take on the madness of war with a blackly comic madness that few films can match.

Clerks, 1994
Kevin Smith's directorial debut is as hilarious as it is filthy, cutting to the bone of gritty American service subculture like a chainsaw. The script buzzes with intelligence mired in laziness, and observations born of the meniality of working in a grocer's. With icons for those whose aspirations stretch to a day on the couch drinking beer, Smith has clearly defined a branch of cinema which he can confidently call his own.
