Good Omens (1990)

An angel who is somewhat fond of rare books and a demon with a flair for rock music join forces to misplace the Antichrist and forestall the apocalypse. Pratchett and Gaiman craft an exquisite, quintessentially British farce bursting with philosophical banter, manic set pieces and catastrophic angelic bureaucracy. While the humour remains delightfully eccentric, the apocalyptic dread, demonic portents and galloping Four Horsemen carry genuine supernatural menace.
