50. The Producers, 1968
Mel Brooks does not make films which are not funny. In The Producers, he attempts to stage a musical production which is awful in every respect, as part of a fraudulent scam concocted with his accountant, and fails miserably. Crowds flock to see showgirls performing the signature tune 'Springtime for Hitler' and his show becomes a smash. A truly inspired piece of cinema by a truly formidable giant of comedy.

49. Carry On Cleo, 1964
Carry On films, love them or hate them, are quintessentially English in every way. When a series of films develops from a cult into a legacy, one cannot help but pay attention, and this is no exception. Williams, James et al are on top form in this classical classic. Running the whole comedic gamut from sly theatrical in-jokes to the baser bodily innuendos, one cannot fail to be charmed by this healthy portion of British comedy at its best.

48. Bridget Jones' Diary, 2001
The Four Weddings And A Funeral writing/producing team work their magic on Helen Fielding's thirtysomething angsty comic novel and, in doing so, create one of the most popular rom-coms ever produced. This bittersweet comedy bumbles through the onset of career-spinster Bridget's early mid-life crisis, hitting all the right marks along the way, resulting in a heartwarming and endearing 95 minutes of universally appealing Anglicana.

47. National Lampoon's Animal House, 1978
Occasionally mooted as the John Belushi college biography that never was, Animal House is easily the Queen Bee of gross-out movies. Running the whole spectrum of college stereotypes, which were later raided by the mid 90s flurry of Lampoon pastiches, this anarchic beer-soaked riot sees two rival fraternities, the Deltas and the Omegas, at war on campus, getting through more drugs and booze than Belushi did in real life.
