Was it the spun gold hair they admired?

Kenneth Williams continues to make 'em laugh getting on for 20 years
since his untimely passing.

The latest competition he has won - the funniest movie one-liner of all
time. And it's also one he used a couple of times on JAM.

Yes it's his line in Carry On Cleo, playing Julius Caesar - "Infamy!
Infamy! They've all got it in for me!!"

It won a poll of more than 1000 comedy writers, comedians and comedy
club owners as the best movie one-liner of all time.

Film critic Bob McCabe said "I thought that Kenneth Williams would win
as it is a great stand-alone joke, the joke is simple and no build-up to
the line is needed. Kenneth Williams’ delivery of the line is extremely
dramatic, ending in a camp style."

The other members of the top 10 were - some great lines here...

2. “He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy.” – Terry Jones
(Brian’s Mum) Life Of Brian (1979)

3. Robert Hays (Ted Striker): "Surely you can't be serious. Leslie
Nielsen (Rumack): I am serious….and don't call me Shirley. - Airplane
(1980)

4. “Remember you’re fighting for this woman’s honour, which is
probably more than she ever did” – Groucho Marx (Rufus T. Firefly) Duck
Soup (1933)

5. “Don’t knock masturbation, it’s sex with someone I love” – Woody
Allen, (Alvy Singer) Annie Hall (1977)

6. Peter Sellers (Inspector Clouseau): "Do you have a licence for your
minkey"? - The Return of the Pink Panther (1975)

7. "Mary, Is that... is that hair gel?" – Cameron Diaz (Mary Jensen)
There's Something About Mary (1998)

8. “Gentlemen you can't fight in here. This is the War Room” – Peter
Sellers (President Merkin) – Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learnt To Stop
Worrying and Love the Bomb (1963)

9. (Leslie Nielsen) Frank: “Nice beaver!” (Priscilla Presley) Jane:
[producing a stuffed beaver] “Thank you. I just had it stuffed.” - The
Naked Gun(1988)

10. When I met Mary I got that old fashioned romantic feeling where I'd
do anything to bone her" - Jim Carrey (Lloyd Christmas) Dumb and Dumber
(1994)

Proof yet again - if further proof were needed - that man is a cult! An
enormous cult! The bigest cult we've got around here! And before
uttering this line, he'd walked all the way from Great Portland
Street....
