Top 5: Funny films

Last week I was asked what my Top 5 films are. An easy question you might think - but not to me. That depends what you mean by top 5... because the top 5 films ever made (in my humble opinion - Shawshank Redemption, Pans Labyrinth, To Kill a Mockingbird, Singing in the Rain and It's a Wonderful Life) are not my favourite five films of all time. And then there are films which I have seen thousands of times but I still wouldn't class them as my top 5 favourites.

I came close to deciding but it then became top 10 because other favourites kept popping into my head and I couldn't choose between them. It was marginally easier to class my top 5 films by genre. Top 5 80s movies, top 5 funny films, top 5 animated, foreign, horror (you get the point!)


So here is today's question: what are your Top 5 funny films of all time?

Mine are:

• Monty Pythons Life of Brian (genius, in film form)
• Airplane (Leslie Nielsen and co deliver some of the funniest lines ever uttered on the big screen!)
• Top Secret (80s classic with a very young Val Kilmer)
• Zoolander (come on, you know you've done blue steel in photos!)
• Monty Pythons Holy Grail (most random of all MP films but has the best one liners of them all)
