5. 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.

4. Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery, 1997
Suspended in a state of cryostasis since the 60s, special agent Austin Powers is defrosted in the 90s to do battle with his nemesis, Dr. Evil, and counter his plans to take over the world. A shagadelic spy spoof starring Mike Myers and Elizabeth Hurley, this is just fab, baby.

3. Shaun Of The Dead, 2004
Simon Pegg, of Spaced fame, boldly makes the transition from sitcom genius to accomplished filmmaker alongside director pal Edgar Wright, in their first feature film (also purporting to be the world's first zom-rom-com). Riddled with film and video game geekery, it takes a feat of strength to pick up on every reference, though this is not its only source of humour. Pegg and co find refuge from flesh-eating zombies in their local, and batter the mutants to death with pool cues whilst listening to Queen.

2. Airplane!, 1980
The Zucker brothers' riotous send-up of 50s B-movies and 70s disaster flicks not only spawned a whole legion of sight-gag-laden spoofs but also introduced the world to the concept of Leslie Nielsen as a comic actor, delighting with a volley of comic potshots at everything from Saturday Night Fever to From Here To Eternity.

1. Monty Python's Life Of Brian, 1979
The Life of Brian is perhaps the most frequently misinterpreted of Cleese et al's work. Despite the numerous Biblical references, the film is not about Christ, but a nearly-messiah named Brian whose misfortune sees him worshipped by three wise but lost men, accrue disciples, and ultimately crucified for his efforts at pursuing a simple life. Funded by ex-Beatle George Harrison, and fiercely lobbied against on its release, this film has secured a place in cinematic history.
