Brüno (Bruno) (2009,  R)
Brüno (Bruno)
Without a doubt this is Sacha Baron Cohen's most shocking, offensive and controversial film yet, as well as the rudest (but in a very funny way.) And did I mention how hilarious it was? Maybe even funnier than Borat, although it's difficult to choose, as what could possibly be funnier than Borat? But I think this might've topped it, as the controversy and shock itself is what highly contributed to its hilariousness. Not recommended to all of course, but if you're a fan of Brüno already from Da Ali G Show, or of Sacha Baron Cohen's work, then it is definitely a must-see. I was extremely excited to finally see this and am definitely not disappointed. To me, this is what shocking and satirical comedy is all about, and I think Sacha is not only a comedic genius for it, but also completely daring to ever even attempt something like this. I hope he continues.

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006,  R)
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
This movie was horrible.. NOT!
Infact, I'd say it was the funniest movie I've ever seen. It's shocking, offensive, satirical, but also quite clever as well. I've never laughed as hard as I did when watching this, even after seeing it many times. I find myself re-winding scenes over and over, and finding them funnier each time, as well as still laughing even after the movie is over. I honestly found it hard to breathe when watching this. Sacha Baron Cohen is a comic genius, and a great actor too.

Ali G Indahouse - The Movie (2004,  R)
Ali G Indahouse - The Movie
BOOYAKASHA!
This is honestly one of my favourite movies, let alone one of my favourite comedies. The dialogue and plot is very clever and funny, and I think Ali G is one of the most hilarious movie/television characters ever created. This is definitely Sacha Baron Cohen's most underrated film, and one I can watch over and over and still find just as hilarious.
4
A Clockwork Orange (1971,  R)
A Clockwork Orange
Everything about this movie is perfect. Of course it's disturbing, violent, and even disgusting at times, but that's much of the point. So I feel Stanley Kubrick does a more than perfect job at creating a disturbing, but darkly beautiful and even surreal atmosphere all throughout the movie. The acting is over the top at times, but I love it for that, and can't get over how amazingly well Malcolm McDowell plays Alex. He creates a character you despise, or rather really want to despise, and yet his intelligence, charisma and good looks (and of course his very gentleman-like goloss) makes it surpisingly difficult (atleast for me, anyway). His "droogs", as well as the other characters were also acted out extremely well. The soundtrack was brilliant, the music itself capturing the atmosphere of the movie perfectly. Overall, this is a must-see, and in my opinion it is one of the greatest, most original, and most brilliant films of all time. I also highly recommend the novel.

The Lost Boys (1987,  R)
The Lost Boys
"One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach, all the damn vampires."

My favourite vampire movie of all time, as well as one of my all-time favourites. I've seen it undoubtedly more times than I've seen any other film in my life, and I could still watch it over and over. At times it's cheesy, but also very funny and enjoyable. I'd say it's a bit more on the comical side, so you shouldn't take it as a horror film if you want to enjoy it more. The Coreys were great, as always, as well as the rest of the cast. Kiefer Sutherland is the sexiest vampire I've ever seen in my life. Just throwing that out there. Pretty awesome soundtrack, too.
6
Strangers with Candy (2005,  R)
7
Lolita (1962,  Unrated)
Lolita
I didn't like it the first time I'd watched it, but I'm glad I gave it another chance, for it's definitely one of my favourites now. Kubrick's directing was exceptional as always. Peter Sellers acting as Quilty was beyond amazing, and is definitely one of my favourite roles of his (although it's so difficult to chose.)
8
Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964,  PG)
Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Dr. Strangelove is one of those movies I will never grow tired of watching, and is infact better each time I do. The directing by Stanley Kubrick was wonderful, as well as the acting, especially Peter Sellers, who played Dr. Strangelove (as well as Mandrake and Muffley, of course) better than anyone else ever could have. It without a doubt deserves the "classic" title it has been given, and is definitely one of my favourites.
9
Cat People (1982,  R)
Cat People
Now this is why I love 80s movies. It's haunting and eerie, strange, with amazing acting by Malcolm McDowell (and of course Nastassja Kinski, whom I didn't know of until this movie) and a wonderfully dark soundtrack (with a great song by David Bowie!) composed by Giorgio Moroder. And what's cooler than a movie about people who turn into cats?
10
Bedazzled (1967,  PG)
Bedazzled
I absolutely love this movie, and not only because Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are in it. It's extremely funny, with a very original story idea, that kept me entertained the whole time. The soundtrack was really brilliant as well, especially the self-titled track.
11
Being There (1979,  PG)
Being There
A beautiful and touching story, as well as fairly simple, yet very thought-provoking. I adored Peter Sellers as Chance, the latter being a clear example of his remarkable talent and ability to become and perfect any character. Overall, a very well done movie, with a nice storyline and memorable acting.
12
The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976,  PG)
The Pink Panther Strikes Again
Definitely my favourite of all the 'Pink Panther' movies. It was simply hilarious!
13
The Outsiders (1983,  PG)
The Outsiders
One of my all-time favourites (I must have seen it atleast a dozen times.) Not only was the acting wonderful, but the adaptation stayed true to the novel, something which can be pretty rare when making a novel into a movie.
14
Arthur 2 - On the Rocks (1988,  PG)
Arthur 2 - On the Rocks
I absolutely adore this movie. Infact, I even liked it better than the first one, because I felt it was much more of a "feel good" movie than the first, but still managed to remain really funny.
15
Arthur (1981,  PG)
Arthur
Definitely one of my favourite movies. It's really funny, really sweet, and it has Dudley Moore (which is always a plus) who acted amazingly well in his role. It just made me smile and laugh the whole way through.
16
Scent of a Woman (1992,  R)
Scent of a Woman
A beautiful and unforgettable film, and definitely my favourite performance by Al Pacino.
17
Derek and Clive Get the Horn (1979,  R)
18
What's New Pussycat (1965,  Unrated)
What's New Pussycat
"Lascivious adulterer!"
"Don't you dare call me that again until I have looked it up!"

This movie was so pretentiously silly at times, (such as Dr. Fassbender's random fits) and yet I think that is what made it so unbelievably funny. Peter Sellers, as well as Peter O'Toole and Woody Allen, were very funny to watch.
19
After the Fox (Caccia alla volpe) (1966,  Unrated)
After the Fox (Caccia alla volpe)
One of the most underrated Peter Sellers movies I've ever seen. Simply hilarious.
20
The Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978,  PG)
21
The Return of the Pink Panther (1975,  G)
22
A Shot in the Dark (1964,  PG)
23
The Pink Panther (1963,  Unrated)
24
Tank Girl (1995,  R)
Tank Girl
What can I say, I love Tank Girl! It's funny, weird, crazy, and has Malcolm McDowell as the wonderfully evil Kesslee.
25
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975,  PG)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
What else is there to say, other than it's absolutely hilarious! Definitely my favourite of all the Monty Python movies.
26
Where Does It Hurt? (1972,  Unrated)
Where Does It Hurt?
I cannot believe how unappreciated this movie is; it's a classic! Peter Sellers perfectly played the role of a greedy, crooked (and very comical) hospital administrator. I loved the bit with the pepsi machine, as well as so many other parts of the movie. It's definitely a must-see, especially if you're a Sellers fan.
