No 25 The Proposal from 2009. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds star.
No 24 The Big Sick from 2017. My review sad it was like an oasis in the desert of the cinema in the school holidays. But not enough of Zoe Kazan and too much of writer Kumail Nanjiani.
No 23 Serendipity from 2001. A John Cusack drama.
No 22 As Good as it Gets from 1997. Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt star in a James L Brooks movie.
No 21 La Cage Au Folles from 1978. A Golden Globe winner for best foreign film.
No 20 Sleepless in Seattle from 1993. The Nora Ephron tearjerker with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
No 19 Slumdog Millionaire from 2008. Hurrah! The Danny Boyle Oscar winning movie.
No 18 Pillow Talk from 1959. A classic starring Doris Day and Rock Hudson.
No 17 Breakfast at Tiffany's from 1961. Audrey Hepburn stars. We see her alongside George Peppard who I do not remember.
No 16 Coming to America from 1988. Eddie Murphy.
No 15 City Lights from 1931. They had to get in a very old silent movie.
No 14 Notting Hill from 1999. Of course. Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts (didn't they look young) in the Richard Curtis classic.
No 13 Clueless from 1995. A modern adaptation of Emma with Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd.
No 12 Roman Holiday from 1953. Audrey Hepburn's breakthrough role alongside Cary Grant.
No 11 His Girl Friday from 1940. Him again, this time alongside Rosalind Russell.
No 10 Groundhog Day from 1993. Bill Murray on top form (has he ever been better?) with Andie MacDowell.
No 9 Jerry Maguire from 1996. Cameron Crowe wrote and directed Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger.
No 8 The Umbrellas of Cherbourg from 1964. All songs and music in this French comedy starring Catherine Deneuve.
No 7 To Catch a Thief from 1955. A too old Cary Grant with a glorious Grace Kelly in an Alfred Hitchcock thriller.
No 6 Moonrise Kingdom from 2012. My review of the 29th May said "the wit and human feelings shine through. A lovely, cute movie". Wes Anderson had gathered an amazing cast. One to see again.
No 5 Something's Gotta Give from 2003. Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton star in this Nancy Meyer's classic.
No 4 Ninotchka from 1939. Written by Billy Wilder and others, directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Greta Garbot.
No 3 When Harry Met Sally from 1989. We see Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan finally get together at the top of the Empire State Building.
No 2 Casablanca from 1942. Predictably near the top.
No 1 It Happened One Night from 1934. A black and white film starring Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable and directed by Frank Capra. Robert Riskin adapted the book. They all won Oscars, only one of three films to do so. I'm not rushing to watch it.
