Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Unique
So there are lots of good film makers out there. Stars in each genre. Action, drama, romcom, gross out..... Just one simple question What category is Edward Scissorhands in? Tim Burton and his team created something unique. The story at one level is a romance of a girl with an outcast. It is the story of the power of the esoteric over the mundane. It is a parody of the shallowness of 50s America. It shows the surreptitious power of wives over wage slave husbands. It has elements of fairy tale. It has elements of comedy. It has elements of tragedy. They all combine to make a unique, enchanting, stunning, unmissable film. Without a doubt this is top ten movie magic - the man shows his genius here.
Green Wing (2004)
The most laughs out loud ever
Absolutely mad. Great outrageous characters, insane moments. I have never laughed out loud so much. Guy is my favourite - so selfish arrogant and such a babe magnet. Mac the hunk, stabbing Guy in the arm in the middle of an operation. Maybe Sue White the administrator who sometimes wears a squirrel costume, once jerked off a man in a coma to get the sperm to have his baby. The payoff when Dr Dear keeps trying to phone his mum - don't even try and guess it - but you'll ROTFL. Alan and Joanna - her hiding in his cupboard, him drilling a hole in it so that he can shag her up the a**e. If you like Fawlty Towers or Black Books try this. Endless stunningly inventive insanity.
