"Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!" How can any Top Ten not include at least one entry from the "Carry On" franchise? I must nominate "Carry on Cleo" for what is unversally recognised as the worst pun in cinematic history.
Not only any top ten - but 'Top 10 _British_ _Comedy_ Films'. To miss out on all of the many, many Carry On films is pretty much heresy. Cringe-worthy (i.e. early British) comedy, ludicrous yet somehow topical plots, loads of puns, lashes of innuendo and an absolutely iconic set of actors from the day. The only thought needed to put one of these on the list is to pick one; that's pretty hard - although I do agree that without watching them all again, "Carry on Cleo" is a firm contender. I'm guessing it's a typical MojoMumboJumbo list; probably sourced from somewhere else with little understanding of what it actually means. After all, nobody would expect them to research or have knowledge of _all_ British comedy films. There's simply too many great ones. "Withnail & I" certainly seems to divide opinions. Even from the little bits I've seen I know it's just not for me. It's a Marmite of a film. IMDB - 7.5. 'Nuff said.
The Carry On films haven’t aged well. They aren’t as timeless as the films in this list, they’re very dated. I used to love them but find them a bit cringy now.
@@shelleyjackson8793 not everything on this list has aged well I never did find" withnail and I" that funny in first place and I probably would of had "life of Brian" for the python pick
Second Time you've shocked me! Didn't think much of The Who and now Withnal and I. Still hilarious on rewatching i! Infamy infamy", once heard Never Forgotten. Yes carry ons- Cleo, or 2 other greats. Would change the order of list, but pretty good.
Ealing Comedies definitely worth watching at least once - Whisky Galore! (1949), Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), Possibly Passport to Pimlico but that might be a bit too British also (1949), The Lavender Hill Mob and as already mentioned The Man in The White Suit both (1951), The Ladykillers obviously on Mojo top 10 list (1955) - also worth considering two Ealing none comedy films - Went The Day Well? (1942) and Dead of Night (1945)
On a similar note I'd add the lesser known 'Restless Natives' which is a cult film. It's another Scottish made around the same time with a similar feel, plus a banging soundtrack by Big Country.
There isn't a wedding going on at the same time as a funeral in Four Weddings although the funeral does follow on from one of them. The funeral has one of the most beautiful scenes in film with John Hannah's reading of W H Auden's Funeral Blues. Very much worth watching.
What crap are you talking about. The reason it's not in the list is the reason it bombed at the box office. It was crap and just mildly amusing. But I take it you just like it for the anti white racism in it.
Withnail & I is in the correct spot. It just has an extremely British sensibility. It was very relatable in terms of the squalid living conditions, hedonism of being a student in the 80s/90s.
Not only do you need to watch "Kind Hearts and Coronets" but also most of the other Ealing comedies. I discovered them in my twenties but back then I had to rely on tracking down VHS copies. Luckily I lived in London at the time so it wasn't too hard. Then when I moved back to my small Scottish hometown ten years later I found quite a few of them in the local library, free to rent. I'd lost the video tapes in a house fire so was very happy to rewatch and fall in love with them once again. Check them out online, you won't regret it! Edited to say that I am immensely glad to finally come across someone else who doesn't care for Withnail - I thought I was alone in not getting it.
Withnail and I is an absolute cult classic. It may be a bit too British for your sensibilities though, which is understandable. I have watched it at least once a year for the past 25 years and it never gets old.
Withnail is a tragi-comedy really: it's very British in its sense of gloom as humour. I've also always thought it's more like a play than a film, with the way it uses words and dialogue. The way Bruce Robinson put those words together, though, is utter genius. It's one of those films that every time I watch it - and I've seen it many times - I notice something new and different. I love it so, so much. In fact I love all of the films on this list. Holy Grail definitely number 1.
Another amazing UK Comedy you might love... Sightseers. Two people go on holiday in a caravan and start a killing spree. Twisted magic. The writers and stars were both in the Cornetto Trilogy.
I didn’t really get Withnail & I the first time I saw it as a teenager, but it really hit me the second time. I love it more with every rewatch, it’s one of my favourite films!
Its 4 weddings and a funeral. Kind Harets is fantastic, iv seen the stage play. Passport to Pimblico is also a Ealying studio dream, you can not go wrong with any of there films.
A LOT of blockbuster Hollywood movies were filmed in the UK, more than you might imagine. John Bluthal as the blind accordion player with his chimp. "do you have a licence for this minky?"
Withnail and I is an incredible film! It could just be TOO British for you. :) Richard E Grant is spectacular in it. Yes, he's theatrical. Quite deliberately so. He's a failing actor, full of self-importance and grandiose visions of the theatrical triumphs, that his spectacular talent deserves, all fueled by drink and drugs.. His Shakespearean monologue at the end is absolutely tragic, as you realise he really does have the talent but he's thrown it all away. A wonderful dark comedy, it won awards by the bucketload and has influenced filmakers all over the World! :)
I feel like Americans like Monty python more then the English do, like I don’t think I have spoken too a single person who says Monty python is in there top 5 let alone number 1. Also regardless of aging, at least one carry on film should have been on here.
Do watch the original `Ladykillers` ,especially now that you are getting to grips with British culture. Of course ,it is that of Britain some time after WW2. Now my son actually prefers the re-make but I'm content with Professor Marcus and his String Quartet
" Four weddings" is very funny with lots of well known actors and hilarious scenes. You should waytch it. But the weddings and the funeral don't all happen at the same time - one event follows from the last.
The funniest thing in The Lady Killers is what happens to the gang. Definitely worth seeing. There's an amazing scene in In The Loop, where Peter Capaldi and James Gandalfini go head to head yelling at each other. 😁
Shock! Your not impressed by Withnal and I ? (&previously The Who) The line "we've come on holiday by mistake", plus classic lines & scenarios made it infinitely rewatchable over the years.
Although not films, Mike Leigh's early tv work is fantastic! Largely improvised by the cast, the tv play 'Abigail's Party' and tv comedy drama, 'Nuts in May' are both absolutely hilarious and have become cult classics! They're VERY British though, so be warned. The target audience was very much domestic. They're black comedies, so are almost painful to watch at times but beautifully so. They're also social satires. Just take my word for it, they're absolute classics and eminently quotable! :)
Have a Camberwell Carrot and chill, then try watching Witnail again😂😂😂 one of my favourite films , along with - The Hound of the Baskerville staring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
Withnail is an odd bird I love it and think is up there with Brian & Holy Grail but my wife and many friends hate it. I'm sure someone else has said it's one of those comedies that needs to be seen a couple of times to get into the rhythm of the less obvious gags, which it is stuffed with. Certainly for anyone of my age (60) who was an undergraduate in the 1980s then scenes like the 'Kitchen' are funny because we lived in little more than slum flats and bedsits when at university. The other beauty of Withnail is how quotable it is, god knows how many times I've heard a student demanding 'the finest of wines' or back in the day friends misquoting Danny the dealer when rolling a 'Sunderland' rather than a Camberwell Carrot!' I also have to say I'm surprised Whiskey Galore (the original though the remake is pretty good) did not make the list because I'd put it the top five.
You should watch the series The Thick of It which it what In The Loop came from. Also, the same writers, or at least Armando Ianucci, was responsible for Veep and I think it shows massively. It’s basically The Thick of It on a grander scale.
No one's mentioned the mouse films yet. I loved The mouse that roared, if you can dig it out is well worth a watch, if only to understand how the smallest country in Europe ( Grand Fenwick) could defeat the world's strongest superpower...... Peter Sellers classic of the late 1950s.
This is an extremely tame list. Nothing anyone over the age of 12 would laugh at really. Excusing Withnail & I as being far too complex for children. Expected to see the likes of Borat or Four Lions to be here.
I prefer Hot Fuzz to Shaun of the Dead, and Life of Brian to Holy Grail. I'm not a fan of Withnsil and I either. Surely Carry on up the Khyber , should be in there.
Not a film but i loved Drop the Dead Donkey, a comedy set in a news paper office and no it wasn't anything like the old black and white newspaper comedy films the USA made in the 40s and 50s
Withnail & I is a British Black Comedy. It's subtle and well crafted. Therefore, not suited for the majority US market which just wants big bangs and belly laughs and a puerile story-line.
As someone who grew up in the States but has lived in the UK for 30 years as an adult, I have never got "Withnail and I". I'm actually a huge Richard E. Grant fan, and all my British contemporaries adore it. I love most British comedy, but I don't find it funny at all - suspect it is one of those things that for some reason just doesn't translate for Americans. That being said, it is absolutely iconic as a British film and probably deserves its place here. But it's not for me.
Hmmm... Some interesting entries...I personally think a Carry On film deserved mention along with the original Bedazzled (the remake was dereadful!)... Cheers!
I would recommend anything with Alec Guinness, however, Kind Hearts and Coronets is a must watch. Don't be fooled by the dusty old appearance of it initially, as it is sublime. Your voice drips through the microphone like warm honey, that's my critique.
@@jay-rk1ve the original with Michael Caine is most definitely a comedy. I can't comment on the, apparently, dreadful American remake but the original 60's film is hilarious.
Withnail And I is a strange one. Lots of people hate it first time round. Then they enjoy it the second time. Then they adore it the third time. Then they're quoting it on the fourth time. Then it's within your soul by the fifth. 😉
@@delthorpe223 I’ve just made the connection between De Niro in The King of Comedy and then De Niro being the chat show host in Joker who is another character who dreams of being a stand up comedian but is severely lacking in the talent area.

Dead of Night is one of the best horrors of all time.

Yes. John Hanna reciting Auden's poem at the funeral is a wonderful part in " Four weddings.." but it's hilariously funny too. I loved that film.
A disgrace no Carry On Film shown, surely you can’t get more British than those cheeky humour films!
Agreed
Hard to choose just on though :) same with Python.
@@Tiamat951Carry on up the Khyber every time...
The Man in the White Suit 1951 Stars Alec Guinness , Joan Greenwood , Cecil Parker.
I was just going to say the same 😊
Ps. Have you seen 'This is Spinal Tap'? It's a satire on a rock band. Definitely worth a view. His amp went up to 11....
I've seen the reference to amps turned up to 11 on lots of music reviews but they never reference the source
Some real amps now go up to twelve. 😁
Yes I agree, and who can forget Nigel singing that melodic and soulful song,
" Lick My Love Pump"
Just beautiful 😥
I agree it's a great film but... it's not British. :)
I bought a second hand amp where they’d customised the dial to go to 11 as tribute to this
I feel like Four Lions deserved a place in the list, at least as an honourable mention. Endlessly quotable with seething satire.
Four Lions is def up there with some of my fave films about inbreds. 😅
I keep meaning to watch this, so now I will!

Rubber dinghy rapids, bro!
I think four lions got snubbed because it asked the forbidden question...
...is a wookiee a bear?
"I called it The Camberwell Carrot because it looks like a Carrot and I rolled it in Camberwell"
Withnail & I is amazing. Also agree on those calling for Four Lions. It's Chris Morris so standard brilliance
Four lions is a national treasure that movie is absolute quality
yeah, Four Lions is sublime. Better than most of this list.
@@markopolo1271 rubber dinngy rapids bro

So many films are made in the UK because we have 360 days of sunshine 🌞
The Sun is always shining in Britain.
It's just that it's covered by clouds.
“Kind Hearts and Coronets” (1949) is the basis for the Broadway musical “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder”
Shock! Your not impressed by Withnal and I ? (&previously The Who) The line "we've come on holiday by mistake", plus classic lines & scenarios made it infinitely rewatchable over the years.
It would be nice if WatchMojo didn't talk over half the dialogue. They're full of their own self importance.
