South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, 1999
Deeply un-PC, crude, rude, and crushingly funny, Parker and Stone's extrapolation of the similarly filthy TV show South Park manages to avoid the typical pitfalls of the small to big screen graduation process, and even gets Saddam Hussein into a homosexual relationship with Satan. Prudes beware, this is not for those of a sensitive disposition.

Stir Crazy, 1980
A pleasantly ludicrous prison comedy starring two great comedians, Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, at the peak of their powers. Hapless buddies Harry (Pryor) and Skip (Wilder) find that putting on a giant woodpecker costume at the wrong moment can get you a 125-year prison sentence with no hope of remission. Stir Crazy can probably boast of featuring cinema's funniest ever chicken impression.

Strictly Ballroom, 1992
Kitsch and comic cream puff of a romance set in the sequined rivalry of Australia's ballroom dancing circuit. Paul Mercurio plays a brilliant competitor whose freestyle interpretations of set dances fly in the face of the federation's conservative code. Abandoned by his dancing partner, he pairs up with an ungainly student, striking up a romance in the process. Baz Luhrmann's first film is a delight, especially when it reveals the seething jealousy behind the fixed smiles and perma-tans of the Come Dancing set.

Stripes, 1981
Bill Murray heads the cast of this smash hit comedy as a directionless slacker who decides to join the Army for the sheer hell of it. Unfortunately, the scheme backfires when he and his best friend find themselves in a platoon full of misfits. With a cast that consists largely of Saturday Night Live veterans, laughs are guaranteed, not least from a superbly funny Murray.
