Withnail and I is infinitely more fascinating than the geranium.

It’s been ages since I saw Time Bandits, and the same goes for Brazil. Two awesome films. Really must get around to picking them up on BluRay/DVD!!!

I totally agree. Time Bandits is one of the great films of all time. Brazil though is simply freaky. Also you might want to have included some of the Ealing Comedies- Passport to Pimlico, The Man in the White Suit, Kind Hearts and Coronets. You might want to check out http://thepurpleworldblog.blogspot.com/ for there list of the top ten British films, Educating Rita is also on their list.

Death at a Funeral – Good call Miss Carter!

Yeah, I’d like to see “Bridget Jones” on here — the first one, not the sequel, which was 95% crap.

I also love “Withnail & I” and “Shaun of the Dead.” And what about “Death at a Funeral” (again, the original, not the Chris Rock remake)? I found it crazy but enjoyable.

Thanks for the comment Steve. Life of Brian and Holy Grail couldn’t make the list as they were released in the 1970s.

Brazil and Time Bandits are great, but no Holy Grail? No Life of Brian? And no offense to Brassed Off, but for working class comedy, what about The Full Monty?!?

Terrific list. Withnail and I is my favourite film of all time!

Great list. The Meaning of Life would have probably made it on to mine but it’s great to see Educating Rita and About A Boy recognised!
