Katharine Hepburn is a Philadelphia society beauty, Cary Grant her roguish ex-husband and Jimmy Stewart the celebrity hack with an inadvertent hand in getting them back together again. Smart, sophisticated and still as witty as ever, three quarters of a century later. Read Empire's The Philadelphia Story review here. Tom Courtenay is the titular William Fisher, shackled to a job in his local Bradford undertakers while he dreams himself various kinds of super-success.

Standout in the wonderful supporting cast is Leonard Rossiter, as always, a particular pleasure as undertaker Mr Shadrack. Central to the film though, obviously enough, is Billy himself, Courtenay keeping tight hold of the role he inherited on the West End stage from Albert Finney.

Read Empire's Billy Liar review here. Bringing the second of his three popular personalities from Da Ali G Show to the big screen, opinion-splitting comedian Sacha Baron Cohen scored a hugely-successful mega-hit with this lengthily-titled opus. Having learned a few lessons from Ali G InDaHouse , Cohen wisely returns to interacting with real people who are unaware they're talking to a film character, with the semi-improvised style both revealing the hidden side of the American mindset and yielding hilariously discomforting moments. The movie's instant impact was such that when it was first released you couldn't turn round without hearing "Niiice!

Read Empire's Borat review here. Slap bang in the middle of Mel Brooks ' s run of movie parodies, Young Frankenstein is obsessive in its devotion to the Universal take on Frankenstein's monster down to using the same props and lab equipment as the film but also willing to go to any length for a gag. Physical humour brings the wordplay to life, and there's even a legendary dance number in 'Puttin' On The Ritz'. Brooks and co had so much fun shooting that the writer-director even added scenes near the end of production just so they could keep on going, resulting in a disastrously long first cut that required a marathon editing session to bring down to the swift, minute final running time.

Read Empire's Young Frankenstein review here. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly play pampered fortysomethings whose juvenile worlds collide when their single parents get married, in this classic Adam McKay comedy. Often overlooked as the difficult third album following Anchorman and Talladega Nights , it can actually hold its head high in that company, and Reilly is great Ferrell foil. Read Empire's Step Brothers review here. Despite how '80s it is, Ferris Bueller's Day Off remains a timeless slacker classic. A love letter to both Chicago and skiving, John Hughes ' coming-of-age comedy introduced us to one of cinema's most righteous dudes while demonstrating how phoning in sick should, ideally, be done.

It should, in other words, involve elaborate fake-outs that convince a town to rally around you while you enjoy fine meals, tourist sights, baseball games and parades in the big city. Whatever else Matthew Broderick ever does, this is the signature role he'll always be remembered for.

The quintessential screwball comedy, this combines dinosaur bones, a case of mistaken leopard identity, women's clothing worn by men and a large amount of money to delightful effect. Amazingly, Katharine Hepburn had never played comedy before and was completely unsure how to go about approaching it; happily she learned from her co-stars and is delightfully ditzy here. Old hand Cary Grant shows off his feel for the form and goes from buttoned-up paleontologist to demented drag queen as Hepburn puts him through hell — but even he has to admit that he enjoys it really.

Read Empire's Bringing Up Baby review here. Cary Grant is the charismatic Walter Burns, dismayed but trying his best to hide it that his superstar reporter Hildy Johnson Rosalind Russell is getting married and might head off to pastures new. Read Empire's His Girl Friday review here. An almost silent film made in the s, a pure slapstick farce with a blithely oblivious central buffoon, this film must have seemed anachronistic even before the prints were developed.

Perhaps that's because it's a classic, with Jacques Tati 's beautifully drawn M. Hulot innocently causing havoc and misery to all around him as he enjoys a welcome break at the seaside. Often imitated cf. Jerry Lewis , Rowan Atkinson , this has never been bettered, a perfect comedy meandering along despite the lack of anything resembling a real plot. Read Empire's M. Hulot's Holiday review here. Based on a successful novel, it was a big-ish deal, but with the suits at Fox more concerned with two other war films shooting at the same time — Patton and the exceptionally troubled Tora!

Hence he got away with the anarchic, loosely plotted, much improvised, barely organised counter-culture shambles that we now know and love. Fox were horrified when the finished product was delivered, but cheered up when it was a hit.

The Marx Brothers' final film for Paramount is the apex of their career, a perfectly formed masterpiece before their move to the forced-romantic subplots and overblown musical interludes of the MGM years. Predictably, it was considered a disappointment on release in It sees Groucho as Rufus T. Firefly, installed by his frequent nemesis Margaret Dumont as leader of the bankrupt Freedonia, an arrangement that obviously takes the country into anarchic war with neighbouring Sylvania. A surprisingly excoriating war satire as well as a thoroughly ridiculous knockabout, Duck Soup is probably most famous for with the "mirror sketch" between Groucho and Harpo, but there's much more to it than just that.

Buy now from Empire. The Princess Bride is many things.

It's a fantasy, it's a comedy, it's a romance, it's an adventure, it's a swashbuckler. It's a fairy tale, primarily, a whirlwind yarn of princes and princesses, pirates and giants, villages and castles. It's also a wry take on fairy tales, with a sly satirical edge, and whimsically silly names like Prince Humperdinck, Fezzik and Buttercup.

It is ultimately a simple and sweetly straightforward story-within-a-story, and fundamentally very old-fashioned. Languishing for years in the dungeons of development hell, it almost never made it to screen — a thought that now seems, well, inconceivable. Read Empire's The Princess Bride review here. Read Empire's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes review here. The set piece show tune 'Springtime For Hitler', complete with dancing Nazis, is justly famous.

But scenes of Wilder losing his shit in that inimitable way are also amply represented. Never take away his blue blankie. Read Empire's The Producers review here. Jon Heder stars as the no-hoper of the title, fond of bowsticks and ligers, and friendly with Efren Ramirez, who runs for class president and finds that his head gets very hot. Read Empire's Napoleon Dynamite review here. One of the most deliberately offensive movies of the modern age, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone simultaneously lampoon US foreign policy, Michael Bay action movies and liberal Hollywood stars in one combustible satire.

Though it's hard to credit the movie with any form of subtlety, there are brilliant moments such as the hammer suicide gag or the utter destruction of Paris and the decision to use marionette puppets is a masterstroke which allows the filmmakers to get away with any amount of ludicrousness.

From Alec Baldwin to Kim Jong Il to Michael Moore, nobody is safe from Parker and Stone's wrath, while all your cherished Thunderbirds memories will be soiled forever after seeing these puppets swear, puke and — yes, they went there — having sex. Despite not having any genitalia.

Read Empire's Team America review here. The sound of inflated egos whistling as the air quickly escapes permeates this memorable comedy, which showcases Steve Martin , Chevy Chase and Martin Short. Physical gags that salute! And earn ten trivia points from the Burning Bush if you knew that this film was co-written by composer Randy Newman. Prison riots, factory shenanigans and blindfold rollerskating pile up in Chaplin 's uproarious classic, in which he plays an assembly line worker left behind by progress. Part of his later period when he was still doggedly ignoring the advent of sound, it was something of a comeback after a few years of relative inactivity, but showed he had lost nothing.

In fact, he had gained some bite: critics have interpreted the film as a satire on industry in general and Hollywood specifically. But at its core it's still the tramp vs. It was ever thus. Read Empire's Modern Times review here. Whether you come for the jokes and stay for the music or vice versa, this offers the best of both worlds. John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd are the titular musical siblings adoptive , on a mission from God to save an orphanage.

The pair had an easy chemistry that drives the film, neither wasting a word, but still able to raise a laugh with nothing but a twitch of the eyebrow. Never before or since in human history has the quest to pay a tax bill resulted in so much vehicular carnage, so much damage to the Illinois Nazi cause, and so much great music.
