The Farrelly brothers' 1998 smash hit comedy is an impeccably crafted crowd-pleaser, and one that keeps the fun vibe going well into its closing credits.

After our hero Ted Stroehmann (Ben Stiller) gets the titular girl (Cameron Diaz), the credits roll accompanied by a ludicrously entertaining music video of the movie's cast lip-syncing to The Foundations iconic tune "Build Me Up Buttercup."

The cast is clearly having a blast and the feeling transpires through perfectly to the audience, giving most of the starring and supporting players a moment or two to shine.

In addition to reminding everyone just how incredible that song is, the sequence also popularised the lip-sync music video which has been featured in countless Hollywood comedies ever since. And though often imitated, none have quite bettered the original.
