    "There's something about Mary" should have been in the top 5, at least.

    What was number one then?

    I'm guessing Withnail and I, seeing as it was one after. Great film that, I have it on DVD.

    Full list here

    I agree with Life of Brian (#1), Airplane! (#2), South Park (#5) and The Holy Grail (#6).. all great shows. Wouldn't have There's Something About Mary or American Pie in my top ten (and Shaun of the Dead is pushing it a bit).

    yeah the lack of Coen bros films is a mystery - they've made some of the best comedies of the last 20 years (I'd definitely have included raising arizona and big lebowski ahead of the likes of Bill and Ted and Austin Powers).

    Anchorman and The Big Lebowski should definitely have been in that list imho.
