Along with the first line of the fashion show scene,

"I look like some..."

Speaking of Team America, the SouthPark guys also made Baseketball, a hilarious movie that came out on DVD when ‘what about mary’ came out. At the time we liked Baseketball better as a comedy (slapstick quality-wise)

BASEketball was funny as hell.

That is a special scene. :) I’d forgotten how funny that movie is.

Speaking of Steve Martin, the “20 Something Betters” scene in Roxanne.

There must be something wrong with me, I thought that movie was boring.

Not a bad list, although I’m not sure I’d keep “Some Like it Hot”.

Agreed. But it’s more RomCom, than Comedy. It’s a good flick, I just think film snobs obsess about it way to much, and because of that, too many RomComs are basicially boring cut and pastes of Annie Hall.

And must add Used Cars, Blues Brothers, Naked Gun, and Mafia! to my list. Forgot those.

Kingpin.

"You got a monkey?"

"We don't have a cow. We have a bull."

"I'd rather get Munsoned out here in the middle of nowhere."

"How's life?" "Takin' forever!"

Oh I loved the Money Pit... it did terrible at the box office. The scene where the racoon jumps out of the shadows on top of Shelly Long has me in stiches every time.

You have to admit, though, Shatner was funny.
