The murder has taken place in industrial tycoon Benjamin Ballon's (played by George Sanders) grand estate.

The man's known to be politically influential, making the case quite high profile. Maria Gambrelli (played by Elke Sommer), the maid, seems to be the prime suspect because she was caught in the room with the murder weapon (a gun) in her hand.

Jacques, however, believes she is not guilty of the crime, leading to Benjamin pressing several political buttons to get him off the case.

Clouseau's investigation takes him into a private nudist club where he continues to pick up clues that Maria may well be the culprit.

But Andy's chastity seems too ingrained to discard. Until he meets Trish (played by Catherine Keener) who is also forty but is a mother of three.

Adding to their confusion is one of them missing an incisor tooth, Doug seemingly nowhere in sight, and a Bengal Tiger resting in the bathroom (!).

Dinner is scheduled, and family values are about to be served. It is going to take quite the performance for Armand and friends to keep the Senator completely ignorant of their fabulous 'true selves'.

They also have to suffer from ineffective office fax equipment and their frustrating boss Bill Lumbergh (played by Gary Cole).

The place where they work, namely Initech Corporation, announces the introduction of efficiency consultants. This worries the three friends, because they believe they will be found incompetent and consequently booted into unemployment.

They prepare for the inevitable by putting their heads together and hatching a scheme involving a software program designed to steal online money transactions off the top.

They rely on any incoming payments made to Peter's office account to help them get rich.

Waj (played by Kayvan Novak) is excited to hear his take on things, but it doesn't quite matter because Omar does the thinking for him.

The rather antagonistic Barry (played by Nigel Lindsay) is a white man who recently converted to Islam, and he's quite opposed to almost everything Omar has to say.

He wanted a place to channel his nihilism but found a more hopeful prospect instead.

Faisal (played by Adeel Akhtar) seems to be the odd man out in the group.

His ideas to build a bomb and blow himself up is met with a comedic twist when his sick father starts to eat newspapers.

Faisal instead decides to train crows to fly bombs through windows. In this dark comedy, Omar finds himself dealing with incompetence and insanity.

He has to manage his plan with men who don't really prove useful in his aim to uplift Muslims in the eyes of the world.

A habitual liar and divorcé, quick-talking attorney Fletcher Reede (played by Jim Carrey) is what they call a successful crook.

A lonely and disappointed Max makes a wish on that special day. He wishes his workaholic dad won't be capable of lying for one full day.

Unfortunately for Fletcher, Max's wish comes true, resulting in a series of incredible comedies that threaten to turn the so called silver tongued lawyer's life upside down.

Amy (played by Amy Schumer) has often been told by her own father that monogamy is unrealistic.

Now a grown-up magazine writer, she can't seem to get that adage out of her head.

Amy thus resorts to an uninhibited lifestyle, one that isn't held back and down by romance.

Things get worse when she starts falling for the man who's the subject of her latest article.

The successful and charming Aaron (played by Bill Hader) seems to hold the key to unlocking her lovable side and shattering all her preconceptions about commitment.

When he was but a baby living in an orphanage, Buddy (played by Will Ferrell) found himself becoming a stowaway in Santa's bag of gifts.

He ended up going to the North Pole where he was allowed to grow up among the Elves.

When he attains adulthood, Buddy gains permission to go find his biological father, Walter Hobbs (played by James Caan), in NYC.

His father is a heartless man, and is most definitely present on Santa's 'naughty list'.

When Buddy finally finds him, Walter reveals that he had no clue Buddy even existed.

His job is also threatened, forcing Walter to rethink his priorities. Having grown up practically as an Elf, Buddy finds the sights and sounds of New York City too delightful to ignore.

Lawyer by day and jazz musician by night, Roger Cobb (played by Steve Martin) soon finds himself having to choose a career path.

His boss is not quite happy with his two-pronged approach, which he feels is negatively influencing his work in either field.

He thus tasks Roger with a major project involving the handling of spoiled wealthy heiress Edwina Cutwater's (played by Lily Tomlin) estate.

She was diagnosed with a terminal illness but the woman seems to have a contingency plan, which she lets Roger in on.

First, she aims to leave all her wealth to the groundskeeper's daughter Terry Hoskins (played by Victoria Tennant).

The caveat is that she has also hired a Tibetan priest named Prahka Lasa (played by Richard Libertini) to officiate an occult ritual that will transfer her soul into Terry's body.

Now she can be young again while still holding fast to her fortune. A disbelieving Roger wants no part in this madness.

The ritual is performed anyway, but something goes wrong. Edwina ends up occupying Roger's body – half his body, to be precise.

The priest has gone missing, leaving two souls in one body both of whom want nothing to do with each other.

Bobby Bowfinger (played by Steve Martin) is a washed up actor-producer-director. He finds himself reading a friend's science-fiction script – 'Chubby Rain', written by Afrim (played by Adam Alexi-Malle) – one day.

Taken by its potential, he chooses to try his luck one last time in the hopes of becoming rich and famous.

The script, however, is not an easy sell. A renowned producer – Universal Pictures executive Jerry Renfro (played by Robert Downey Jr.) – eventually takes it up but he has a condition.

He wants Hollywood's number-one star – the pompous, neurotic, and paranoid Kit Ramsey (played by Eddie Murphy) – to star in it.

When Bobby approaches Kit, the man rejects the role. Deciding to shoot the film regardless, Bobby finds the cheapest team he can in Southern California including an ambitious beauty named Daisy (played by Heather Graham), an over-the-top diva called Carol (played by Christine Baranski), a goon who was previously flipping burgers, and a key-holding golfer with connections to a major studio.

Bobby starts filming the Sci-Fi script with a Kit lookalike – Jiff (double-acted by Eddie Murphy) – in the lead.

The real Kit has no idea he became part of this wacky project. The lookalike, meanwhile, happens to be Kit's own brother in real life.

In yet another jewel heist, the famed 'Pink Panther' is stolen, and the Phantom's signature white glove is left behind.

By this time, the Phantom was assumed to have retired. The actual Phantom, Sir Charles Litton (played by Christopher Plummer), makes his way to Lugash in the South of France to figure out who this copycat thief is.

He also wishes to clear his name with the authorities and return the diamond, if he can find it.

Imbecilic French Detective Inspector Jacques Clouseau (played by Peter Sellers) is once again set on the case.

He plans to meet Sir Charles in France but is misled by the man's wife Lady Claudine Litton (played by Catherine Schell).

Clueless Clouseau, along with his man-servant Cato Fong (played by Burt Kwouk), creates chaos in his wake as he attempts to retrieve the Pink Panther.

In the process, the bumbling inspector puts immense pressure on Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus (played by Herbert Lom) to the point that the latter plans ways to murder the former.

The Nazis of East Germany are organizing a cultural festival. Representing the United States of America behind the 'Iron Curtain' is charming rock-n-roll teen idol Nick Rivers (played by Val Kilmer).

Before long, he discovers the real agenda behind the event. The Nazis plan to showcase their military might by annihilating an entire NATO submarine fleet on camera.

Finding an ally in local French Resistance fighters and Hillary Flammond (played by Lucy Gutteridge), Nick strategizes ways to thwart the Nazi scheme, all the while falling in love with Hillary.

Navin Johnson (played by Steve Martin) from Mississippi is a guileless young man who soon learns that he is not the actual son of an African-American family.

He learns the truth on his birthday, of all days. Shocked by the revelation, he is lost in doubt and confusion.

A song on the radio captures his attention, inspiring him to get up and get out there, into the wide world, and find himself.

He arrives at St. Louis pursuing great accomplishments with a touch of romance. One thing leads to another and Navin is left experiencing some of the weirdest moments in his search for a better future.

The Americans share a pending deal with the French Syndicate but they want to leave the agreement.

Philippe Douvier (played by Robert Webber) heads the French talks. He affirms that negotiations have concluded.

The Americans believe Philippe no longer wields the power they thought he did. This prompts Philippe to demand a suitable challenge for his team so he can prove to the Americans that he has not lost his touch.

When one of his own suggests the murder of Inspector Jacques Clouseau (played by Peter Sellers), Philippe does not shy away.

The going gets genuinely tough, because no matter what he does to get rid of Clouseau the man simply will not die.

Around the time Philippe sets up a deadly ambush, a thief has stolen Clouseau's clothes.

The accidental impersonation gets the criminal killed, leaving everyone certain it was the inspector. On the other hand, Clouseau is forced into a mental asylum, which he tries to escape so he can uncover the identity of the person trying to end him.

When notorious and world-famous jewel thief 'The Phantom' leaves a glove at their most recent crime scene, Inspector Jacques Clouseau (played by Peter Sellers) – a bumbling rather idiotic and oftentimes hilarious officer of the law – is put on the case.

He was chosen not just for his experience with the Phantom's MO, but also because any blame for a lack of case closure can be placed squarely on Jacques' shoulders.

The screwball inspector is so certain of where the criminal is going to strike next that he goes undercover with his own wife Simone (played by Capucine).

Heading to Switzerland, his purpose is to safeguard the internationally renowned Lugashi jewel called 'The Pink Panther', currently in the possession of a royal princess (played by Claudia Cardinale).

Also present at the Swiss resort where the princess is holidaying are wealthy English playboy Sir Charles Lytton (played by David Niven) and his nephew George (played by Robert Wagner).

The plot thickens, and Clouseau finds himself in quite the 'comedy soup'.

Rich but miserable couple Barbara (played by Bette Midler) and Dave (played by Richard Dreyfuss) Whiteman call Beverly Hills home.

While Dave is a businessman having a secret affair with the live-in maid Carmen (played by Elizabeth Peña), his wife Barbara is obsessed with meditation classes, aerobics, yoga, New Age therapies, and shopping.

Their teenage son Max (played by Evan Richards), meanwhile, is lost about his own sexuality, and their daughter Jenny (played by Tracy Nelson) has serious eating disorders.

And that's just half of it! The dysfunctional family spends Thanksgiving together. Around this time, street tramp Jerry Baskin (played by Nick Nolte) sleeps rough, is starving, and has recently lost his dog.

He aims to commit suicide by drowning in a nearby swimming pool. He inadvertently encounters Dave who invites him over for a temporary stay.

The stranger's entry into the Whiteman family leads to great upheavals and amusing surprises.

Jake Blues (played by John Belushi) has a sibling reunion with Elwood Blues (played by Dan Aykroyd) after spending three whole years in a penitentiary.

They plan to restart their band 'The Blues Brothers'. They visit their old orphanage where they grew up only to learn that the place is facing a serious financial crunch.

Unless they can get $5,000 together, the institution might close for good. The brothers plan to save the property by raising the needed funds through their music.

Plenty of hilarious obstacles stand in their way, though. This includes infuriated country singers, vengeful Nazis, and suburban cops.

Explosions, car chases, and great music highlight their quest to save the place that once put a roof over their heads.

This comedy film features a struggling barbershop in the south side of Chicago. Calvin Palmer (played by Ice Cube) inherits the place after his father passes away.

He only sees the shop as a burden, and not worth the effort to keep the business going.

He sells the shop to a local loan shark. Only later does Calvin start to see his dad's true vision for the place.

He grows disappointed that he sold it. The place is filled with personalities who share their own distinct stories and memories, the good times and the bad.

These include old barber Eddie (played by Cedric the Entertainer), educated and 'superior' barber Jimmy James (played by Sean Patrick Thomas) who cannot stand Isaac, and 'white' barber Isaac Rosenberg (played by Troy Garity) who just likes to cut hair.

Then there's ex-convict Ricky Nash (played by Michael Ealy) who has one chance to redeem himself, hard-edged Terri Jones (played by Eve) who seems to be stuck with a two-timing boyfriend, and finally another barber Dinka (played by Leonard Earl Howze) who is passionately in love with Terri but can't quite catch a break.

A shy banker with no real ambition in life, Stanley Ipkiss (played by Jim Carrey) soon comes into possession of an enigmatic mask that changes his whole life. This movie is filled with thrills and comedy in ways only Jim Carrey can pull off.

Archaeologists believe this mask is a representation of the Norse god of mischief and deception, Loki. But Stanley has no clue about any of that, he simply does the most natural thing. As soon as the ancient wooden object touches his face, though, a magical 'summons' produces an entity known simply as The Mask.

This loony character takes over Stanley's body and transforms him into an impossible thing. He can do some of the most ridiculous stuff now, but it only gets Stanley into trouble with all the wrong people. This includes gangsters and law officials alike.

The previously directionless banker ends up falling for a nightclub singer named Tina Carlyle (played by Cameron Diaz). But the Mask seems to have wacky ideas of his own that could threaten more than just Stanley's crush, it could also end his life. 

Under-used investment banker and number-cruncher Harold Lee (played by John Cho) finds the spark of an idea with his unambitious slacker best friend Kumar Patel (played by Kal Penn).

Their recreational drug stock is running low, prompting the boys to drive to New Jersey.

It is the middle of the night, but that doesn't stop them from wanting to satiate a case of the 'munchies'.

The square sliders they desire can only be found in White Castle. Before long, what began as a quick trip to a burger joint soon unravels into a series of maddening mishaps in which Harold and Kumar end up meeting strange people, enigmatic hitchhikers, and kind-hearted individuals.

Chief Inspector of the French Sûreté, Charles Dreyfus (played by Herbert Lom), suffered a breakdown thanks in large part to the bumbling shenanigans of Inspector Jacques Clouseau (played by Peter Sellers).

His attempts to kill Clouseau just to be rid of him resulted in an extended stay at a mental asylum.

It is now three years, and Charles has been found safe to return to normal society.

A fateful 'concern visit' from Clouseau, however, ruins all his progress. Charles, having re-attempted murder on the inspector, is held back at the asylum.

Charles Dreyfus eventually finds a way to escape, however, after which he goes about trying and failing to kill Clouseau.

In a bid to get some of the world's best criminals to help him in that endeavour, Charles kidnaps a renowned English scientist and devises an object that can annihilate the world.

He practically holds the globe hostage and demands that governments send their best assassins to finish off Clouseau or else.

All of them fail to do so, not because Clouseau is incredibly talented, just bizarrely lucky in some of the most imbecilic ways.

The tables gradually turn as Clouseau tries to find and stop the now-criminal Chief Inspector from adding fuel to the fire.

A huge fan of heavy metal music, Wayne Campbell (played by Mike Myers) calls suburban Chicago home.

Every Friday night he joins his strange bestie Garth Algar (played by Dana Carvey) to host a show called 'Wayne's World'.

The public cable TV program takes place entirely in Wayne's basement and somehow courts immense popularity.

When network executive Ben Oliver (played by Rob Lowe) expresses an interest in adopting the show for his network, Wayne and Garth are psyched.

The show, after all, is going to be sponsored by billionaire Noah Vandahoff (played by Brian Doyle-Murray) who also happens to own one of the biggest arcade businesses in the country.

Having made it to 'prime time', Wayne and Garth soak up fresh success. Before long, Wayne finds romance in Chinese-American heavy metal lead vocalist Cassandra Wong (played by Tia Carrere).

Ben does not appreciate the relationship, though, in fact, he wants Cassandra for himself. He attempts to ruin Wayne and Garth's TV show so they do not hit the number-one spot.

After a while, Wayne finds himself choosing to help Cassandra make more out of her career, more so after Garth and his show see dwindling ratings.

Idaho's very own 16-year-old loser is a gangly bespectacled young man named Napoleon Dynamite (played by Jon Heder) who personally believes he is too cool for school.

He is often at odds with his chat-room-addicted older brother Kip (played by Aaron Ruell) and his out-of-touch-with-the-times uncle Rico (played by Jon Gries).

Napoleon is often found doodling mythical creatures and whiling away his time. His life turns complicated when two friends unexpectedly find him.

The friends include quiet newcomer Pedro (played by Efren Ramirez) with ambitions to run for the school presidency and fledgling photographer Deb (played by Tina Majorino).

Stuck in a place between growing up and staying a kid, Pee-wee Herman (played by Paul Reubens) lives in a house filled with gadgets and toys, dresses and behaves like a mere child, and has a dog named Speck.

He goes about on a bicycle that also looks like something a child would ride.

A dastardly counterpart to his immature-yet-grown lifestyle is arch-rival Francis Buxton (played by Mark Holton).

He wants to get his hands on Pee-wee's bike. He finds an opportunity to steal it when Pee-wee is off shopping one day for more toys to add to his collection.

A blame game begins with Pee-wee knowing full well that Francis was behind the robbery.

With no way to prove his nemesis took the bike, Pee-wee ends up adhering to the words of a fortune teller who informs him that the bike is in the Alamo.

The latter happens to be in San Antonio, Texas, and it encourages Pee-wee to make a comical and adventurous decision to head on over.

Mac (played by Seth Rogen) and Kelly (played by Rose Byrne) Radner are settling down in a new neighbourhood with a newborn of their own.

The frat brothers next door, however, make living conditions noisy and reckless. Teddy Sanders (played by Zac Efron) is the frat president with Pete (played by Dave Franco) playing his right hand man.

Kelly and Mac introduce themselves and receive a reasonable welcome. They are even offered a party invite.

The growing noise concern, however, grates on their nerves, especially considering they have an infant to look after.

They ask to keep the noise levels down but soon learn that Teddy and the company are not interested in obliging their request.

A hilarious feud unfolds between the neighbours. The college soon steps in, threatening Teddy and the gang with consequences.

Things go wrong really fast in this comedy where frat parties definitely do not sit well with family living.

A middle-aged couple with their marriage on rocky terrain, Kay (played by Meryl Streep) and Arnold (played by Tommy Lee Jones) seem to barely interact with one another in any romantic or meaningful fashion.

Deciding that a re-sparking of their marriage is essential, Kay picks up a book written by Dr. Feld (played by Steve Carell) that inspires her to sign up, along with Arnold of course, to attend Feld's 1-week marriage counselling program.

In Arnold's point of view, little to nothing is wrong with their marriage these past thirty years, but he reluctantly listens to Kay and goes along.

Before long, Feld analyses and advises the two of them on what's actually wrong with their marriage – strengths, weaknesses – and what they can do to make their relationship better.

Arnold and Kay have apparently drifted emotionally apart and need to reconnect if they are to reignite any lingering passions.

The going gets tougher, with more comedic challenges in the way than there are guaranteed resolutions.

Private Joe Bauers (played by Luke Wilson) is all shades of ordinary. Officer Collins (played by Michael McCafferty) invites him to participate in a classified program called simply 'The Human Hibernation Project'.

Joe is asked to hibernate in a pod for an entire year along with a prostitute Rita (played by Maya Rudolph).

Before long, Collins is arrested for being part of a prostitution racket, leaving nobody else with the knowledge of Rita and Joe's pod situation.

It will be five hundred years (!) before the two of them awaken only to observe that human society has grown dumber.

Lacking any cash or identification, Joe is soon jailed. When subjected to an IQ test, he is surprisingly found to be the most intelligent person in the United States of America.

President Camacho (played by Terry Crews) invites him to join his government and help resolve a major matter concerning crops.

He promises to pardon Joe in return for his services. Joe demands to have Rita's support by his side as well as the lawyer Frito.

A time machine is involved, one that Joe plans to use to return to his own era once he is done helping in this one.

A few miles from LA, in a small town called San Dimas, are two knuckle-headed besties Bill S. Preston Esq. (played by Alex Winter) and Ted Theodore Logan (played by Keanu Reeves). They share a common dream, namely to carry their rock-n-roll band "Wyld Stallyns" to new heights.

The teens are still in high school, however, and they will need to pass all their classes if they are to stay together and pursue the 'American Dream'.

Ted's father has promised he will send his son away to military school if he messes up his finals.

They look all set to fail in History until one fateful encounter with a man named Rufus (played by George Carlin) takes them on a time-traveling adventure into the past.

Along the way, the boys meet a plethora of real-life historical figures – Napoleon, Socrates, Genghis Khan, Freud, Joan of Arc, Abraham Lincoln, and Beethoven.

Their experiences inform their History report, which eventually gets done. All they can now do is hope they pass.

A much bigger destiny seems to be in the pipeline for Bill and Ted, however, a future that they would never have seen coming even in their wildest dreams.

Stoner and lethargic court-process clerk Dale Denton (played by Seth Rogen) visits his dealer Saul Silver (played by James Franco) to purchase some weed, especially a new type called 'Pineapple Express'.

At some point, he becomes the sole witness to a murder carried out by a corrupt cop Carol (played by Rosie Perez) accompanied by the city's fatalistic drug lord Ted Jones (played by Gary Cole).

In his panic to get away, Dale drops his stash and bolts. He later learns from Saul that the weed is rare enough to be trackable.

Dale gradually realizes that the killers just might find and silence him in case he ever did see anything – and Dale saw plenty.

As Saul and he make a run for their lives, they learn that their paranoia is most assuredly not caused by their affinity for weed.

The killers, meanwhile, are fast catching up to them and are close to settling on the swiftest way to kill them both.

Along the way, Dale and Saul find support from a man named Red (played by Danny McBride) who is not as reliable as they need him to be.

It is San Diego (California) in the 70s. Working at a local TV news station is anchorman Ron Burgundy (played by Will Ferrell) who has become something of a regional celebrity.

His segment has enjoyed top ratings across all demographics. Suffice to say, he's doing great work.

The times are changing, however, and the fact that his news crew lacks any female representation forces a diversity demand.

Enter, the station's first female reporter Veronica Corningstone (played by Christina Applegate). Everyone else in the 'boys club' – comprising Brian Fantana (played by Paul Rudd), Champ Kind (played by David Koechner), and Brick Tamland (played by Steve Carell) – are not pleased with her hire, but Ron's attraction to Veronica shifts perspectives.

Before long, the two of them strike up a relationship that waxes intimate. When a misunderstanding drives a wedge between them, their bond turns into a bitter feud that is all shades of funny.

Essentially a biopic of late comedian Andy Kaufman (portrayed on screen by Jim Carrey), the film covers Andy's life and times, starting with his self-declared identity as the world's first Inter-gender Wrestling Champion.

Kaufman's role in the 1978 "Taxi" movie is also featured in this one. Professional wrestler Jerry Lawler (as himself) grows tired of watching Andy wrestle women and thus throws him a challenge.

Putting his 'piledriver' technique to good use, Jerry often won against Andy. Their feud became legendary.

One such instance featured in the film took place in the 80s when Andy flung coffee on Jerry, had a brawl, and then went on to sue NBC.

In the role of George Shapiro is Danny DeVito, who has worked with the real-life Andy Kaufman.

The girl-who-has-everything Elle Woods (played by Reese Witherspoon) enjoys being a 'Hawaiian Tropic' girl, President of her sorority, and Miss June.

She most especially takes pride in being a natural blonde. The guy she's dating, Warner Huntington (played by Matthew Davis), is a popular charmer whom the other girls want.

Elle harbours dreams of one day marrying Warner and becoming 'Mrs. Warner Huntington III'. One thing leads to another and Warner seems to be showing more interest in a serious and studious Harvard Law student named Vivian (played by Selma Blair), one who was also his old flame.

His blue-blood East Coast family has big plans for him once he graduates, and none of those seems to include the bubbly and girly Elle Woods.

Somehow finding a way to get into Harvard Law herself, Elle grows into a different person without quite sacrificing who she truly is at heart.

At college, Elle gets closer to fellow student Emmett (played by Luke Wilson). Her friend Paulette (played by Jennifer Coolidge) supports her, inspiring Elle to do more and be more.

A spy from the 60s has been cryogenically frozen only to be revived in the 90s. This is the hilarious story of the legendary Austin Powers (played by Mike Myers) who finds himself in a whole new spy-arena once he wakes up.

The world has moved on from the sex-positive 60s, but the man's mission remains on point. Soon, he teams up with the stunning Vanessa Kensington (played by Elizabeth Hurley) to stop Dr. Evil (double-acted by Mike Myers), who is still up to no good even after all this time.

He too was cryo-frozen and revived, only he had a head-start on Austin and is now in possession of a nuclear weapon. Dr. Evil at first demands a small ransom only to correct that figure in keeping with the 90s. This insane villain expects to get $100 billion or its curtains for the whold world.

Bizarre goons like Alotta Fagina (played by Fabiana Udenio) and Random Task (played by Joe Son) stand against Austin Powers as he resolves the matter in the craziest of ways without forgetting to speak his famous catchphrase, "Yeah, baby, yeah!"

A caring dad and eccentric actor, Daniel Hillard (played by Robin Williams) one day experiences a disastrous moment, and on his son's birthday too.

One thing leads to another and his wife Miranda (played by Sally Field) files for divorce.

Before long, David is allowed to see his three kids Lydia (played by Lisa Jakub), Chris (played by Matthew Lawrence), and Natalie (played by Mara Wilson) only once a week.

The loving father in him cannot abide by that rule. His makeup artist friend Frank (played by Harvey Fierstein) lands him a job at a local TV studio where Daniel works as a shipping clerk.

Soon he spots an advertisement in the papers calling for a nanny – his wife's address is on the ad.

An idea strikes Daniel and he applies for the role himself, dressed in full 'matronly' drag, even changing his voice and accent to match.

Thus Englishwoman Mrs. Doubtfire becomes Hillard's new nanny. All sorts of comedic elements unfold in this movie, including Daniel's handling of his wife's new boyfriend Stu Dunemyer (played by Pierce Brosnan) whom he doesn't like one bit.

Quite charismatic for an under-achiever and proprietor of a rundown gym named Average Joe's, Peter LaFleur (played by Vince Vaughn) boasts a rather eclectic clientele comprising average-or-less people.

The latter include scrawny high school geek Justin (played by Justin long) with aspirations to impress a cheerleader, self-styled pirate Steve (played by Alan Tudyk), love-torn Owen (played by Joel David Moore), timid obscure-sports obsessed Gordon (played by Stephen Root), and arrogant know-it-all Dwight (played by Chris Williams) who really knows nothing at all.

Challenging this weird gym is White Goodman (played by Ben Stiller), a power-mullet boasting egomaniac and owner of Globo Gym, a renowned fitness centre.

White aims to take over Peter's failing gym, more so considering that Peter has a poor bookkeeping system in place.

To finalize his takeover, a foreclosure bank secretly installs attorney Kate Veatch (played by Christine Taylor) to do the needful.

Before long, Peter's charms win her over, leading Kate to join his team in a scheduled dodgeball face-off between members of both gyms.

The aim of the game is to raise enough money to save Average Joe's. Meanwhile, White just wants to grab the place and be done.

The showdown entails a dodgeball court where the future of both gyms will be decided in the funniest manner possible.

At the elitist Bushwood Country Club, something strange seems to be afoot. Clubhouse president Judge Elihu Smails (played by Ted Knight) is involved in whatever mishap is going on there.

Wealthy but distasteful construction magnate Al Czervik (played by Rodney Dangerfield) and charming golf guru Ty Webb (played by Chevy Chase) come to learn of the matter.

In the meantime, a young caddie by the name of Danny Noonan (played by Michael O'Keefe) is trying to find stability in life.

He soon realizes that the only way he can achieve that is to win the challenging Caddie Day golf tournament, which will earn him a scholarship straight from Judge Elihu himself.

While Danny goes to 'war' for his dreams, a subterranean threat is gradually swelling to the point of no return.

The courteous and charming Prince Akeem (played by Eddie Murphy) is born into a life of royal luxury and is the heir apparent to Africa's Zamunda kingdom.

On his twenty-first birthday, the Prince finds the courage to reject an arranged-marriage proposal and insists on his desire to find true love.

His parents King Jaffe Joffer (played by James Earl Jones) and Queen Aoleon (played by Madge Sinclair) aren't satisfied with his decision, but they come to understand it.

One thing leads to another and Akeem finds himself in the 'concrete jungle' of Queens, NYC.

Hiding his royal background, Akeem and Semmi (his trusted valet, played by Arsenio Hall) pretend to be exchange students and start mingling with their neighbours in America.

The noble bachelor seeks love in the Big Apple. He aims to find a soulmate, a woman who will love him for himself and not because he's a wealthy prince from a faraway kingdom.

When a lounge singer named Deloris Van Cartier (played by Whoopi Goldberg) becomes a witness to murder, she is soon tucked away into witness protection to later testify against the crime she saw. Deloris happened to see her own lover, the mobster Vince LaRocca (played by Harvey Keitel), gun a man down in cold blood right there in his office.

Police officer Eddie Souther (played by Bill Nunn) takes it upon himself to ensure Deloris survives to give her testimony in court. So he hides her in the one place Vince will never think to look. Eddie convinces a congregation of nuns at St. Paul's Catholic Church to take in Deloris.

Before long, the lounge singer in hiding starts getting in touch with her religious side, but she does it through song. Deloris' musical experience comes to the fore and she finds herself leading a choir of nuns in a new style of singing, one that actually calls to people and doesn't make them yawn in church.

Deloris befriends Sisters Mary Robert (played by Wendy Makkena), Mary Lazarus (played by Mary Wickes), and Mary Patrick (played by Kathy Najimy). However, only Mother Superior (played by Maggie Smith) knows the truth of who she really is. 

Word soon spreads of the choir at St. Paul's, drawing dangerous attention to Deloris when in fact she should be staying hidden. Vince discovers her whereabouts and dispatches his goons. But god seems to be on the side of his new swingin' sister whose renditions of his sacred songs have reached even the ears of the Pope.

The time has come for Derek Zoolander (played by Ben Stiller) to realize and accept that his rise to the top of male supermodel stardom has reached its zenith and is now declining.

After three years of holding claim to the covetous title of 'Male Model of the Year', Derek is beaten by newcomer hot-star Hansel (played by Owen Wilson).

Lost in anxious thoughts and worried about his future, Derek undergoes an existential crisis. But not for long.

Fashion czar Mugatu (played by Will Ferrell) offers him a comeback chance. Mugatu harbours a diabolical agenda, namely an aim to assassinate Malaysia's new Prime Minister when he visits New York.

The PM recently passed laws that banned child labour and the exploitation of minors. Mugatu's fashion empire has been running illegally by taking advantage of such cheap labour abroad.

To ensure that child labour remains on the table, Mugatu brainwashes Derek with help from his evil associate Katinka (played by Milla Jovovich).

They create a 'model puppet' to help them carry out the kill and then carry the blame for it.

Time Magazine's journo Matilda Jeffries (played by Christine Taylor) is on to Mugatu and she attempts to stop, even save, Derek Zoolander from making the biggest mistake of his life and career.

A Spencer Tracy classic is remade in this movie featuring middle-class couple George (played by Steve Martin) and Nina (played by Diane Keaton) Banks who are parents to the soon-to-be-wed Annie (played by Kimberly Williams-Paisley).

George is justifiably nervous and does not quite accept his baby girl is a grown woman.

An extravagant wedding is being planned, because Annie is about to tie the knot with an upper-class man Bryan MacKenzie (played by George Newbern).

George, however, cannot reconcile his need to have his daughter in his life. His wife Nina tries her best to calm his nerves.

When the wedding finally takes place, a foreign wedding planner takes control of managing the event.

One thing leads to another and comedies galore unfurl as George remains stubborn in his impossible need not to see his baby girl grow up so fast.

Being thoroughly disillusioned with their personal lives, Mitch (played by Luke Wilson), Frank (played by Will Ferrell), and Beanie (played by Vince Vaughn) experience some of the most disappointing moments as they try to make sense of their place in the lives of those they love.

Heidi is quite the nymphomaniac, and she cheats on Mitch. Frank, who used to enjoy being a party animal, finally ties the knot despite still harbouring the need to be 'wild'.

Beanie just wants to rediscover his carefree youth though he is now a full-fledged family man and has entirely different responsibilities.

When Beanie suggests that Mitch and Frank join him in starting their own personal fraternity, the men are all for it.

Mitch has a new house on a college campus. That's where the three of them decide to start their 'side life' to help them relive the glory days.

They gather an assortment of people to their cause – college misfits, aged retirees, middle-aged losers, and more.

Before long, they find themselves attempting to escape eviction by none other than Pritchard (played by Jeremy Piven), the new Dean of Students.

Pritchard and they go way back, and they were never really on good terms with him.

Pritchard's personal grudge against Beanie, Frank, and Mitch means he will leave no stone unturned in his aim to end their pursuit of happiness.

Two stupid but lovable besties Lloyd (played by Jim Carrey) and Harry (played by Jeff Daniels) don't quite realize that they're struggling in almost every area of life.

One day, limo driver Lloyd drops off beautiful Mary (played by Lauren Holly) at the airport only to fall in love with her.

He notices she has forgotten one of her suitcases. He is too late in returning it to her but gets a brainwave.

Lloyd drags Harry on a cross-country road trip aimed at taking the case back to Mary.

He has already gleaned her destination, Aspen. The case, however, is not a simple affair.

Several criminals are after it because it contains enough cash to grow their fortunes a hundredfold.

Jane (played by Meryl Streep) and Jake Adler (played by Alec Baldwin) are a divorced couple who find themselves reigniting their spark at a family event, of all the occasions.

Even after a decade of being out of each other's lives, the two are strangely attracted to one another.

They believe their short affair has been done and dusted, but it hounds them both wherever they go after the event.

Adding to the complication is the fact that they both have children to keep in mind, not to forget their current partners and love interests.

Adam, an architect hired to remodeling of Jane's house finds himself attracted to Jane and in the process notices an affair between Jane and Jack.

The year is 1978, and narcissist, actress, and diva Madeline Ashton (played by Meryl Streep) is giving another stirring performance in a Tennessee Williams play called Songbird.

Her rival and aspiring writer Helen Sharp (played by Goldie Hawn) takes her fan-crossed plastic surgeon fiancé Dr. Ernest Menville (played by Bruce Willis) to see Madeline on stage. One thing leads to another and the smitten surgeon calls off his wedding to Helen and hooks up with Madeline.

The year is now 1992. Ernest has become something of a 'yes, dear' husband who has no control over his life. He turns to alcohol to dull the pain of being married to the wretched Madeline. Helen, meanwhile, wrote a bestselling novel titled Forever Young and has invited the couple to the book release.

Seeing how youthful and figure-perfect Helen still is after all this time, Madeline seeks answers which soon lead her to a 'rejuvenation specialist' named Lisle Von Rhuman. She offers Madeline a magic potion that promises to return her lost youth and firmness.

The former stage star pounces on the opportunity despite the dire warning that she must, at all costs, take care of her physical body, because even magic can only heal so much.

By this time, Helen has seduced Ernest back into her graces and is scheming with him to murder Madeline so the two of them can be together again. A push down the stairs is all it takes to prove that Madeline is immortal, though her head is facing the wrong direction! 

A deadly face-off ensues at the end of which the two 'living dead' ladies realize they need Ernest if they are to go on surviving. Ernest, however, wants no part in this madness. But there's only one way out for poor Ernie in this criminally underrated 'dark comedy' that is all shades of entertaining.

The classic cartoon character Popeye gets his own live-action feature film starring Robin Williams in the lead role.

When Popeye arrives at the seaside town of Sweethaven, he encounters the hamburger-loving Wimpy (played by Paul Dooley).

Before long, he meets and falls in love with Olive Oyl (played by Shelley Duvall).

One thing leads to another and disaster comes calling in the form of the buff and gruff Bluto (played by Paul L. Smith), a pirate who is against everything Sweethaven stands for, and who also wants Olive for himself.

Around this time, Popeye also finds his long-lost father Poopdeck Pappy (played by Ray Walston).

Gathering a group of friends together, Popeye faces up against Bluto with the power of Spinach (from a can).

From checking punks in a burger joint to putting the fear of God in a champion boxer, Popeye seems unstoppable when he has had his spinach.

He even rescues the abandoned baby Swee'pea (played by Wesley Ivan Hurt), thus earning the love and respect of all.

World War I ended twenty years ago and the nation of Tomainia was one of the losers.

Adenoid Hynkel (played by Charlie Chaplin) rose to become dictator of that small country and started to propagate the dark ideology of a pure Aryan state and the annihilation of all Jews.

Since the war ended, a humble Jewish Tomainian barber (double-acted by Charlie Chaplin) has remained hospitalized – he suffered amnesia.

He awakens to observe that Jews are being persecuted, especially in the ghettos. Before long, a relationship blooms between him and a Jewish washerwoman named Hannah (played by Paulette Goddard).

Saving Commander Schultz (played by Reginald Gardiner) during the war has earned the barber some saving grace.

His life is spared when the unfortunate time comes and another wave of Jew-hunts spreads across Tomainia.

Adenoid establishes a change in policy one day that frees all Jews from persecution. But he has an agenda for doing so, one that includes world domination over the long-term.

Adenoid starts by invading the neighbouring lands of Osterlich to save it from the Dictator of adjacent Bacteria, Benzino Napaloni (played by Jack Oakie).

Schultz becomes a traitor to Adenoid's rule and, relying on his inside knowledge, schemes a coup with the barber who just so happens to look a lot like someone who is currently occupying the seat of power.

At forty years of age, stepbrothers Brennan Huff (played by Will Ferrell) and Dale Doback (played by John C. Reilly) enter one another's lives after Dale's father Robert (played by Richard Jenkins) marries Brennan's mother Nancy (played by Mary Steenburgen).

Since each brother used to live with their single parent, they now find themselves sharing a room under the same roof.

Antipathy rises to the surface, threatening the family's way of life and the parent's relationship.

The brothers both have sleepwalking tendencies that do not help matters. Daddy dearest decides to force the brothers into a corner – he insists they each find employment in a month.

Brennan and Dale love music, leading to them forging a pact that sees them working together to work something out.

Added pressure comes from Brennan's other brother and his lonely wife. Meanwhile, their newly married parents want to retire and sail the seas.

Finding familial harmony soon becomes more of a challenge than a choice.

Elise Elliot Atchison (played by Goldie Hawn), Brenda Morelli Cushman (played by Bette Midler), and Annie MacDuggan Paradis (played by Diane Keaton) find themselves reuniting at a mutual friend's funeral.

It has been thirty years since last they saw one another, at college. Elise has become an Oscar-winning actress, Brenda has turned rather sassy, and Annie has become something of a quiet homemaker.

All three ladies learn that one factor connects them in common: they're all three of them divorced.

Their husbands – Bill Atchison (played by Victor Garber), Morton Cushman (played by Dan Hedaya), and Aaron Paradis (played by Stephen Collins) – took to young mistresses and left them hanging.

The women, feeling justifiably betrayed and wronged, join forces to exact vengeance. They finally find the courage and strength through each other to take matters into their own hands.

Calling themselves 'The First Wives' Club', the three ladies show their ex-husbands that all pleasures come at a cost.

Maxwell Smart (played by Steve Carell) has big ambitions in his line of work. He serves the United States Government's spy wing, but his dreams of becoming a field agent are hampered time and again by various factors.

He instead just holds an administrative position at HQ. When the office suddenly comes under attack, and the identities of their field agents are compromised, The Chief (played by Alan Arkin) has little choice by to send the relatively unknown Maxwell on a mission he is not quite trained to handle.

He finds a spy-partner in the gorgeous Agent 99 (played by Anne Hathaway), who is personally not too happy with the agency's choice in sending Maxwell on what amounts to a dark and deadly mission.

Incredible action-moments follow with plenty of comedy thrown in as the duo are hounded first by the 400lb Dalip (played by Dalip Singh) and then the 'big bad' Siegfried (played by Terence Stamp).

It is later revealed that their star spy Agent 23 (played by Dwayne Johnson) is not as loyal as he established himself to be.

This leaves Maxwell in the enviable but near-impossible position of bringing honour to his nation by stopping all the villains before they explode a bomb that will claim innocent lives.

It is up to Maxwell and Agent 99 to serve some sweet spy-style justice.

It is the 40s era. Two sets of twins are born in the same hospital in a small town called Jupiter Hollow.

One of the pair is born to an impoverished family while the other is welcomed by a rich one – the latter couple just so happened to be passing through town when their delivery was imminent.

The nurse on duty, dizzy with stress, accidentally mixes the children up. Even the parents remain unaware of the mismatch.

Years go by and the 80s roll along. The mix-matched women seem fated to cross paths after a major business deal takes place involving the shutdown of a factory in Jupiter Hollow.

The proverbial brown stuff hits the fan when the biological siblings who grew up with different parents finally meet.

The rich twin Sadie Shelton was played by Bette Midler and the poor twin Rose Shelton by Lily Tomlin.

Mild-mannered almost-pacifist Rhode Island State Police Trooper Charlie Baileygates (played by Jim Carrey) experiences a moment when he is pushed to the breaking point.

At that instance, his insane alter-ego Hank Evans (double acted by Jim Carrey) comes to the fore, thus creating a 'multiple personalities' in Charlie's mind.

Around this time, Colonel Partington (played by Robert Forster) tasks a reluctant Charlie to escort Miss Irene Waters (played by Renée Zellweger) to her hometown.

Irene is a wanted woman by police in upstate New York. As time goes, Charlie discovers that Irene is being set up for a murder she did not commit.

He thus helps her escape to his jurisdiction where he believes he can help her lay low.

He also has to safeguard her from corrupt ex-boyfriend Dickie Thurman (played by Daniel Greene) and his ilk.

They are gunning for her, with the full intention of killing her before the truth outs.

They are under the assumption that Irene knows what really happened in the incident that dragged her into all this.

With deep aspirations to become a hockey player, Happy Gilmore (played by Adam Sandler) is held back by his volatile attitude and inability to skate.

He recently made a powerful snapshot that proves he has talent, though. It doesn't help matters that his grandmother (played by Frances Bay) is facing eviction after failing to pay taxes on time.

Happy spends time in golf courses where he soon discovers his next calling. The man finds himself being able to shoot golf balls quite the distance.

This observation prompts him to partake of the PGA Tour where he hopes to win the cash needed to buy back his grandmother's house.

His 'bad boy' image draws a sizeable following but also captures the attention of Shooter McGavin (played by Christopher McDonald).

The latter is pegged as a potential winner of the Tour, so he understandably grows worried about Happy's skills and blooming stardom.

Three silent-film stars Lucky Day (played by Steve Martin), Dusty Bottoms (played by Chevy Chase), and Ned Nederlander (played by Martin Short) take up an acting job with Mexico's supposedly famous El Guapo (played by Alfonso Arau).

The three of them were recently fired and started to seek employment where they could find it.

Dreaming of big bucks, they head over to Mexico only to learn that El Guapo is not a professional actor in any sense of the word.

He is a suppressive personality whose real line of work is a local gang leader.

Around the time Lucky, Dusty, and Ned come over, Guapo has kidnapped the mayor's daughter Carmen (played by Patrice Martinez) as revenge for the people demanding that someone stand up to him.

To make matters worse, Guapo starts making wedding plans. The villagers' hopes now rest exclusively on three bizarrely ill-talented and comedic individuals who cannot walk off this set even if they tried.

New York television reporter Bruce Nolan (played by Jim Carrey) wants to break free of his small-time career covering minor stories of no great significance.

He wants to attain the lofty position of news anchorman at the station. But his self-centered rival Evan Baxter (played by Steve Carell) lands the role, leaving Bruce reeling in a personal crisis that has him mouthing off against god himself.

The Almighty (played by Morgan Freeman), on the other hand, decides it is time he took a holiday.

He places Bruce in charge of the Universe for a week. Omnipotent and obnoxious, Bruce Nolan misuses his powers and becomes an overnight success, even romancing the woman he always wanted, Grace Connelly (played by Jennifer Aniston).

He faces the consequences of his decisions and gradually understands the importance of responsibility and accountability.

Not before a comedic run of divine misadventures, though.

When you say 'No' quite often for years on end, chances are your whole world will turn upside down if you are forced to say 'Yes' instead.

One such bizarre circumstance plagues bank loan officer Carl Allen (played by Jim Carrey) who has accrued more bad karma than even he'd have thought possible.

When he reluctantly attends a seminar by an eccentric guru named Terrence (played by Terrence Stamp), he suddenly turns into something of a 'yes man'.

Carl finds himself leaving the seminar with the stunning decision to say yes to everything – and that means everything – that comes his way from that point onward.

No matter how crazy or ridiculous the scenario, Carl learns to say yes to it if it means his soul-perspective changes.

With his newfound freedom to try new things, he ends up opening up to his neurotic boss Norman (played by Rhys Darby).

When he encounters and falls in love with free-spirited musician Allison (played by Zooey Deschanel), Carl believes even more that he's heading in the right direction with his 'yes man' lifestyle.

Of course, not everything works out in his favour, because apparently saying yes to everything can often inspire losses rather than gains.

After being isolated and rejected by the rest of the Whos at Whoville, the Grinch (played by Jim Carrey) spends a spiteful life in seclusion.

He has always despised the people of Whoville for what they did to him, and thus could never stand Christmas when all of them were at their happiest.

The Grinch one day decides to ruin the occasion for the Whos whom he believes are just wasteful materialists wielding fake sentiments to celebrate a rather noisy festival that gets on his Grinchy nerves.

Cindy Lou Who (played by Taylor Momsen) seems to be the only little girl in town interested in inviting the Grinch to partake in the festivities.

When the Grinch reluctantly goes along, he is so publicly humiliated that he grows steadfast in his desire to spoil Christmas for all of Whoville.

He aims to steal all their presents on Christmas Eve, leaving the townspeople empty of joy and devoid of anything to celebrate.

However, something miraculous happens, an event that changes the Grinch's perspective of Whoville as well as their opinion of him.

With a comical yet keen understanding of not just criminal behaviour but also the animal version, goofy 'pet detective' Ace Ventura (played by Jim Carrey) finds himself on the case of a stolen dolphin who served as a mascot for The Miami Dolphins football team.

The dolphin is abducted just before the Superbowl for reasons bizarre and unknown. Ace initiates his investigation and progresses through it in some of the weirdest wackiest ways imaginable.

Suburban housewife Ruth (played by Roseanne Barr) finds herself with two kids in a loveless marriage.

Her husband Bob (played by Ed Begley Jr.) seems enormously interested in becoming an accountant for rich and famous personalities so he can climb the social ladder, as it were.

Ruth loves to read romance novels. She grows increasingly certain that her life is a far cry from the fabulous passions her favourite fictional heroines experience.

Bob seems to be indulging a series of infidelities with the exquisitely rich and gorgeous romance novelist Mary Fisher (played by Meryl Streep).

The time soon comes when an ungrateful Bob leaves Ruth with the intention to re-marry into money.

Ruth decides enough is enough. She makes plans to get even with Bob by first annihilating his lover's dream-worthy lifestyle.

Ruth becomes the titular 'she-devil' in this remarkably funny movie where Mary Fisher holds as much claim to the title.

Returning from his self-imposed exile at an isolated Himalayan peak, Ace Ventura (played by Jim Carrey) finds himself travelling to Africa accompanied by the explorer Fulton Greenwall (played by Ian McNeice).

Previously, Fulton placed a most curious case before Ace, prompting them to investigate rumours of a certain sacred white bat. This creature was prophesied to halt a war between the two tribes of Wachootoo and Wachati.

But seeing as how Ace Ventura is involved, all hell soon breaks loose even as the detective tries to avert a major tribal skirmish.

In keeping with his professional principles, Ace aims to find and safeguard the famed white bat from the likes of Vincent Cadby (played by Simon Callow) who puts poaching and profit over everything else.

Uptight and divorced attorney Peter Sanderson (played by Steve Martin) still has feelings for his ex-wife Kate (played by Jean Smart) but remains clueless about why she left him.

He attempts to move on through a bombshell lawyer he's been chatting with online. During their first face-to-face meeting, he gets quite the reality check.

The bombshell in question apparently lied about everything. She was neither Ivy League nor white, neither refined nor a lawyer.

Charlene Morton (played by Queen Latifah) is a prison escapee who has her hooks on Peter and demands that he help clear her name and prove her innocence in court.

Peter, miffed with her deception, wants nothing to do with her anymore. Charlene, however, refuses to take no for an answer.

She makes his life a living hell, risking everything for him, especially his chances to get back with his ex and be part of his children's lives.

Then there's the matter of the billion-dollar client Virginia Arness (played by Joan Plowright) whose deal will also be jeopardized if Peter does not give Charlene what she wants.

In this semi-biography of Jacqueline Susann, Bette Midler plays a diva of an actress who fails in her career only to strike it rich pursuing a life as an author.

She pens numerous trashy novels like 'Valley of the Dolls' and becomes quite famous in the early 60s.

A turning point comes after she meets her to-be-husband, a prominent promoter. He cannot find her work in either TV quiz shows or commercials.

His suggestion for her to become a writer thus becomes the spark for Jacqueline's future glory.

While at first, her work is non-printable, the 'sexual revolution' hits in the 60s and propels Jacqueline to literary stardom.

The movie, while being funny, also captures the author's sad moments, especially her involvement with her autistic son.

She even fights cancer and does so in secret, all the way up to her death.

The hilarious film adaptation of the super-funny TV series after the same name, this movie sees 'nice guy' Jed Clampett (played by Jim Varney) meeting with immense fortune when he finds a well of black oil under his property.

He gets so wealthy – he becomes a billionaire, in fact – that he decides to move his 'hillbilly' family – Elly May (played by Erika Eleniak), Jethro (played by Diedrich Bader), and Granny (played by Cloris Leachman) – from Arkansas to Beverly Hills.

Being country folk, their rural ways do not sit well with posh city living. In fact, their kind hearts and relative naiveté invite con artists like 'gold-digger' Laura Jackson (played by Lea Thompson) to try and cheat them out of their overnight fortune.

They find support and friendship in people like Miss Jane Hathaway (played by Lily Tomlin).

When their wealth is put at great risk, the 'Beverly Hillbillies' have luck and bizarrely good timing to thank for still holding on to their billions.
