We only went – me, my sister and parents – because Turner & Hooch (a dog that has witnessed a murder, yes please!) had sold out. I was a naive 15-year-old when it came out at the cinema and had no interest in a film about relationships. And everyone in it – Wiig, Rudolph, Byrne, McCarthy, Kimmy Schmidt! It’s rude, it’s very funny and has the best diarrhoea scene. Look, we can be loads of things, not just wives and victims and strippers and dead bodies! Look, women of all ages and faces have value! Of course it never takes off but we are still left with these excellent milestones of awesome.

Photograph: Sportsphoto Ltd/AllstarĮvery now and again, a brilliant film chock full of excellent women threatens to change things for actresses in Hollywood. Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ellie Kemper, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Rose Byrne in Bridesmaids. I almost forgive Jerry Lewis’s views on female comedians. The scene with the pocket watch gets me every time. Much preferred to the fat shaming of the later version. The story is much the same but Jerry Lewis plays an uber-nerd who becomes suave sophisticate Buddy Love once he’s knocked back his concoction. Rather the far superior 1963 version with the genius of Jerry Lewis. Not the multi-Eddie Murphy fart-tastic spectacular. Surely they wouldn’t miss one? 2 The Nutty Professor The local furniture magnate and his wife have just had quintuplets. Former criminal Cage falls in love with cop Hunter. Its farcical, it’s slapsticky, it’s daft, it’s brilliant. So beautifully shot, so lean, so wonderfully acted by Nicolas Cage – before he had to save the world in everything – and ace Holly Hunter. I love the Coen brothers generally, but this is one of my favourites. Her most recent show, Sarah Millican: Outsider, is out now on DVD.
