I’ll throw in as well the Amicus anthology, Dr Terror’s House of Horrors.

Carry on Screaming surely fits the bill. Arguably the best of the long-running saucy humour British film series, it includes one of the all-time great gags...

She was responsible for one of my favourite comedy scenes in that (from 23:00).

Open question to the American people: why do you dress up for Halloween in costumes that have no connection to Halloween?  Yours, a confused Brit.

The best thing about that video is spotting which scenes were filmed before lunch, and which after, as the girls were introduced to cocaine for the first time during the break.

Yeah, but it’s not generally this, err, actionable.

It was a joke. I just find it amusing that he has appeared as an Italian gangster in more than one movie (understandable) but also as an Irish gangster in more than one movie, and a Jewish gangster in more than one movie.  I don’t think it really needs saying that he’s done a few other things as well.

This slide show is a good reminder of De Niro’s versatility. Italian gangster, Irish gangster, Jewish gangster...

Agreed - that was a tough opening to manage on his own.

She was great, but the sketch itself was even more outdated than the GoT references in the monologue. Mad Men? Really?

She was great in Twin Peaks - mostly evil witch with just a hint of relatable vulnerability.

In the UK, Seinfeld was quickly shunted to late nights slots so never really took off the way Friends did (Friday night prime time) so that’s why I never got into it at the time. None of those classics (OK, maybe the Soup Nazi) have really registered as something special with me. I think Friends was more consistent so

Britta’s arc was odd, but strangely familiar to anybody who watched Cheers through the Kirstie Alley years.

There is one film that could easily be near the top of this list but has never seen the light of day. When Kate Bush gave her first concerts for 35 years in 2014, a few nights were filmed with a view to being released. After some time, she announced that they would only release an album (she made some unconvincing

It’s a bit hard to rank a movie that hasn’t come out yet.

So people tell me, but I just don’t see it. Although every time John O’Hurley opens his mouth as Peterman, it cracks me up.

The abomination that is Rattle & Hum is included, but the raw energy of Under a Blood Red Sky is not. GTFO.

That’s reminded me of the first episode of Swamp Kings where Urban Meyer calls in Brandon Siler’s parents intending to get them to help him stop Siler from drinking so much, and ends up just hugging Siler and telling him he’s doing fine considering his bat-shit crazy parents.

Old enough to have watched the original run of Cheers. And I know a lot of Seinfeld fans can be scathing about Friends - but that was a show I did watch regularly, and I don’t think it’s just me being nostalgic when I say that show was way funnier than Seinfeld.

I’m intrigued about the original finale. I decided a while back that Seinfeld was a blind spot in my cultural history that I needed to address. It has taken until season 7 (which I am up to now) for me to start to low-key enjoy it, but I’m still bemused that it is considered an all-time great sitcom.
