15. Wayne's World, 1992
The first big-screen outing for comedian Mike Myers and his sidekick Dana Carvey, following on from their regular Saturday Night Live slots, was eagerly anticipated and surprisingly good. They are the perpetually adolescent (virginal) metal fans whose inane public access show becomes a big hit. It's snickering, silly and, at times, downright demented, but that's why it works.

14. The Naked Gun, 1988
Relentless punnery and incessant slapstick are what make this small-to-big screen graduation the treat that it is. Naked Gun: From the Files Of Police Squad serves as an effective foil for Zucker's double entendre and visual absurdity, impeccably distilled by Nielsen's flawless comic timing and obliviousness, which will ensure the rewind button on your remote is worn out by the end of your viewing.

13. Groundhog Day, 1993
Bill Murray excels in a part tailored for his ultra-cynical persona, as a jaded weatherman forced to relive the worst day of his life over and over again. As well as a perfect star vehicle, the film is a brilliant analysis of the implications of the film's simple conceit, and is ultimately a classic tale of redemption, reminiscent of Capra's It's A Wonderful Life.

12. Blues Brothers, 1980
John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd play it once more, with feeling as the Blues Brothers, determined to raise the $5000 needed to keep the orphanage that raised them from closing. With a cast including James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles, and an hilarious performance from Belushi, this film deserves its cult status.

11. 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.
