98. AlanPartridge: Alpha Papa



Alpha Papa does suffer a little from what all TV to big screen adaptations fall into - they move the action from it's usual location/setting to holiday location or foreign setting - it still does this, but thankfully never gets out of Norfolk.

If you love Partridge then get ready for the best comedy of 2013 and if you are new to the world of Alan, then get ready for the best comedy of 2013!

Glorious!

86. Con Air


Just look at the hair.

I think half the FX budget must have gone on it as Con Air has without doubt some of the worst CGI & green screen FX ever committed to screen.

Yep, technically this film had not aged well but its really a great example of that bygone age when 15/18 rated action movies could be massive box office hits.

Con Air is high concept tomfoolery of the highest order and hits every note pretty much on the button. The only downside is the sluggish final act where Cyrus the virus suffers the most forgettable villain offing that you won't be remembering any time soon.
