I watched Tamara Drewe last week and laughed through the whole thing. The girls playing bored teenagers were terrific and the added bonus of the lovely Gemma Arteton getting her kit off didn't hurt either!

[Lyndhurst 14]

Two Way Stretch with Peter Sellars. Not as good as some of the earlier classics like I'm Alright Jack but still a solid film about the perfect heist planned from inside their prison cell. Reading the cast list it's like a Who's Who of well known British comic actors and actresses. A lot of the characters and depiction of prison life can be seen in Porridge

It'll probably be won by Run Lola Run.

Personally I wouldn't put it in the top 10 Danny Boyle movies, and I'm not sure he's done another 10

The recent past speaks of Aftersun and How to Have Sex.

Still his most (critically) successful film, and arguably one of the greatest brit films of all time if awards are the yardstick
