After Holy Grail wiped out my prediction for #1 by appearing yesterday I thought maybe Young Frankenstein could do it - the movie is one of the funniest I've ever seen and my #4 - a perfect match. It...

Ahh, I had Monty Python and the Holy Grail pegged as winner of this countdown, but perhaps that was simply because it was my #1 - still, at number 5 it's still done rather well. Is this the most...

Groundhog Day was #14 on my list, and I didn't expect it to place so highly, but I'm overjoyed that it has. It's introduced a phrase to the lexicon of the English language - perhaps forever - and...

Out of those ranked 101 to 120, I nearly voted for My Man Godfrey, but it was a late cut. I assumed it wouldn't make it, even with my help - but I think I was wrong. It seems that if I had of voted...

I had 5 out of 6 films on my list going there - numbers 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17. Makes up for a horrid first stretch.

Hot Fuzz was my #19 - the first time I ever watched it I felt really let down. I...
