Kind Hearts And Coronets, 1949
Alec Guinness has a field day in this ultra-black Ealing classic, playing all the members of an effete, aristocratic family as they get bumped off, one by one. The most sophisticated and blackest of the Ealing comedies, director Robert Hamer's immaculate, serial-killer romp gives the splendid Guinness the roles of a lifetime in this assured, brutally funny film.

King Of Comedy, 1983
A universe apart from the violent underworlds of Casino and Goodfellas, the King Of Comedy is Martin Scorsese's stab at a light-hearted, yet sinister comedy. The film follows Arty Fufkin (an almost unrecognisable Robert De Niro), a delusional stand-up comedian trying to crack the big time, as he stalks a TV commissioner in the hope off getting his big break. A chilling satire particularly prescient of today's celebrity-fixated society.

Kingpin, 1996
If bowel movements, bowling and bovine semen drinking are your area of interests, then this is the film for you. Featuring typical Farrelly brothers fare, Kingpin follows a one-handed ex-bowling champion as he plots revenge on his old bowling nemesis, Ernie McCracken, with his new Amish sidekick. As usual, the Farrellys have delivered another 114 minutes of pure filth which you will make you either die laughing or retching.
