Spoof disaster movie Airplane is the funniest film ever - generating three laughs a minute on average, according to new research.
The movie starring Leslie Neilsen - which features classic one liners such as ‘I am serious....and don't call me Shirley' - came out top in research conducted by a panel of members of movie subscription service Lovefilm.
They calculated the precise number of ‘laughs a minute' for the top 10 comedies chosen by Lovefilm members.

Modern classic Anchorman reported in at sixth place. This battle of the sexes in a newsroom has spawned a whole range of one liners and manages to make audiences laugh 1.6 times per minute on average.
Helen Cowley, editor of Lovefilm, said: 'After many heated debates about whether The Hangover really is the funniest movie ever, we asked our members to vote for the 10 movies that make them laugh the most, and then conducted our own research into how many times those included in this list made us giggle.
'Interestingly, while Lovefilm members voted Life of Brian as the funniest film, our research shows that for laughs a minute the hilarious aircraft-based satire of Airplane beats the Monty Python epic hands-down.'
