40. Duck Soup, 1933
This elderly political satire has aged as gracefully as the remainder of the Marx Brothers' back catalogue, retaining its original skewed slapstick core with a simple sweetness. A distinct identity in early twentieth century's filmmaking, the team's contemporaries, including Chaplin and Keaton, have to answer to their effervescent approach. An enlightening and nostalgic education.

39. Team America, 2004
Team America: World Police sets its sights on the "War On Terror" with a group of 'Thunderbirds'-style marionettes emerging from their secret headquarters inside a hollowed-out Mount Rushmore to battle terrorism around the globe. Only the twisted geniuses behind 'South Park' could come up with a project so shamelessly designed to cause offense. Offensive, funny and foul-mouthed, this manic marionette comedy has its finger on the pulse, its mind in the gutter and its politics firmly in the White House.

37. 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.

36. Four Weddings And A Funeral, 1993
The film which rocketed Hugh Grant to international stardom and revolutionised the English film industry brought together a fine cast and an even finer script. The slightly offbeat theme of death and matrimony sees Grant as a foppish bachelor skirting around the edges of his mega-posh friends' weddings, never quite seeming to make the right catch, despite his undeniable charms. One cannot fail to become absorbed in this classic rainy day tale.
