I remember you saying the Inspector saw Thundercrack when you did.

Actually, I was the romantic comedy he stood up while chain smoking himself to death in the cinema toilets.....

This is going to be hard to narrow down to just 10, so many great comedies from that decade!

80's comedies. Tough one as I could do a top 50 without any real problems....
I've got a mixed bag but there's tons of stuff omitted and I'll probably need to resist the urge to change the list (again)....

This is a really tough subject, which took a lot of whittling down, removing some films which are obviously comedies and leaving some which have it as a secondary genre. So, in alphabetical order:

• An American Werewolf in London
• Back to the Future
• Brazil
• Ghostbusters
• Monty Python's the Meaning of Life
• The Princess Bride
• This Is Spinal Tap
• Tootsie
• Who Framed Roger Rabbit
• Withnail and I
