35. Trading Places, 1983
Two unscrupulous Wall Street brokers make Dan Aykroyd's supercilious city boy and Eddie Murphy's smart street bum swap lives for a bet, in this smart and sassy satire on corporate greed and social snobbery. Fast-paced and energetic, with plenty of enjoyable silliness, it's also the charismatic performances from a quality cast that make this film an enduring success.

34. The Odd Couple, 1968
Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon's on-screen debut as a duo, a hedonistic sports writer is forced to share his home with his neurotic chum as his marriage falls apart. Witty, splendidly played and, above all, truthful, The Odd Couple bears all the hallmarks of a comedy great, and exhibits a synergy rarely found between two actors.

33. Planes, Trains And Automobiles, 1987
A simple premise becomes a farcical hoot in this surprisingly well-matched travel caper. Martin is an up-tight advertising executive who gets stuck on a cross-country jaunt with Del Griffith, a curtain hook salesman with nothing between his thoughts and his mouth. The sheer lovability of this hapless pair is what carries the film through their ill-fated sojourn.

32. The Full Monty, 1997
Inspiring the 90s second great wave of blockbuster British comedy, The Full Monty played upon the notion of a group of unlikely Northern lads getting their kit off to earn some cash, quickly. Set in the grimy, rundown industrial city of Sheffield, the incongruity of our heroes' ambitions only serves to accentuate the comedy. Packed with fabulously delivered one-liners from the likes of Robert Carlyle, The Full Monty will have you genuinely creasing up.

31. School Of Rock, 2003
This musical gem holds substantial appeal for a very broad range of ages, from the early teens attending the 'School of Rock', through the adolescents who 'rock the Zep' as if it's fresh off the press, to the ageing hippies who were there the first time round and will get the endless references to the heyday of heavy rock 'n' roll. Magnificently competent performances all round make this an inspiring treat of a film, which will have you dusting off the drum kit at the end.
