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!

‘No Monty Python’ – the only Python film that qualifies is the weaker, albeit still great, “Meaning of Life”, Gavin. However, there’s still a python-esque flavour to many of these movies – Terry Gilliam’s “Time Bandits” and “Brazil”, and you could even include the John Cleese-starring “Fish Called Wanda” and “Clockwise”. If it’s Monty Python you’re looking for, this list serves it up nicely.

What …
- No Monty Python
- No Bridget Jones

I don’t think so.

Cool list! I would have had an Edgar Wright film up there but then again I’m not incredibly educated on British comedy! I really have to see Withnail and I- I’ve been meaning to for at least a year, but I always put it off.
