...
Richard Curtis's 1994 romantic comedy took 22% of the vote in the poll, squeaking past the Life of Brian by just 1%.
Trainspotting, about heroin users in Scotland, was third with 15% of the vote.
Life of Brian's mixture of comedy and religious themes prompted controversy when it was released in 1979.
...
Casino Royale, starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, made it into fourth place with 10% and Guy Ritchie's gangster film Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels came fifth with 8%.
The top 10 was completed with Lawrence of Arabia (8%), Withnail and I (5%), Atonement (4%), The Wicker Man (4%) and Get Carter (3%).
Dame Judi took nearly a third (29%) of the votes in the best actress poll, more than double that of her nearest rivals Dame Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, both on 14%.
Behind Sir Sean and Sir Anthony in the best actor poll were Sir Michael Caine, Grant and Sir Ian McKellen. Some 1,000 people were questioned in the survey for Virgin Media.
