2	What's Up, Doc? (1972) more movies like this directed by Peter Bogdanovich featuring Barbra Streisand, Ryan O'Neal, Kenneth Mars, Austin Pendleton, Sorrell Booke With Howard Hawks's Bringing Up Baby (1938) as his blueprint, Peter Bogdanovich resurrected and payed homage to 1930s screwball comedy in What's Up, Doc? (1972).

4	Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) more movies like this directed by John Hughes featuring Steve Martin, John Candy, Laila Robins, William Windom, Michael McKean, Kevin Bacon Were it not for its profanity-laden opening scenes, John Hughes' Planes, Trains and Automobiles might have been suitable family entertainment: certainly it's heaps less violent and mean-spirited than Hughes' Home Alone. En route to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his family, easily annoyed businessman Neal Page (Steve Martin) finds his first ... see all copies from £1.38! new only from £6.42!
5	The Terminal (2004) more movies like this directed by Steven Spielberg featuring Tom Hanks, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Stanley Tucci, Chi McBride, Diego Luna Shot almost entirely on a two-and-a-half-story recreation of a full-size operating airport terminal, this romantic comedy from director Steven Spielberg revolves around an Eastern European man by the name of Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), whose plans of immigrating to New York were hastened by a violent coup in his home country.

7	Waking Ned Devine (1998) more movies like this directed by Kirk Jones featuring Ian Bannen, David Kelly, Fionnula Flanagan, Susan Lynch, James Nesbitt Just as the charming British film The Full Monty told the story of simple men willing to shed their clothes for money, Waking Ned Devine is the story of older Irish men who pursue money and take off their clothes.

9	Some Like It Hot (1959) more movies like this directed by Billy Wilder featuring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, George Raft, Pat O'Brien The launching pad for Billy Wilder's comedy classic was a rusty old German farce, Fanfares of Love , whose two main characters were male musicians so desperate to get a job that they disguise themselves as women and play with an all-girl band in gangster-dominated 1929 Chicago. In this version, musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) ... see all copies from £1.38! new only from £5.72!
