'Safe'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
For me, there's "Springtime for Hitler," and then there's everything else.
I first saw The Producers as a child and loved it. As an adult I found it even more funny. But since I had already seen it, I missed that feeling of, "Wait, they're not really going to... God, yes they are!" that most people get when they see it for the first time.
what movie (or mass entertainment) scenes made you laugh the hardest?
Two of my all-time favorite movies are Princess Bride and Young Frankenstein . I'd be hard pressed to pick any one scene out of either movie that made me laugh the hardest.
I just saw an episode of House where House and Robert Sean Leonard are interviewing doctors, and after one leaves, RSL turns around and shouts "THAT'S OUR HITLER!" It made me so happy.
"Dude!!! What's mine say?"
"Sweet!!! What's mine say?"
I think I've mentioned how my law school bowling league team's name was the Continuum Transfunctioners, and our bowling shirts had "Dude" or "Sweet" on the back, right?
Young Frankenstein
Oh, my god. "You made a yummy sound." "No I didn't." "Well, *someone* made a yummy sound!"
For me, there's "Springtime for Hitler," and then there's everything else.
Both "Putting on the Ritz" from YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN and, especially, "The Inquisition" from HISTORY OF THE WORLD, Pt. 1 manage to top this, IMO.
Hey Torquemada, whadda ya say?
I just got back from the auto de fe!
You guys are making me laugh at work. Shut up.
Gene Wilder in the beginning of The Producers. "I'm wet! I'm wet and I'm hysterical!"
And thank god someone brought up "Dude, Where's My Car?" so I don't have to feel ashamed. I was whooping during the scene where they're being attacked by the ostriches.
When I saw There's Something About Mary in the theater, I laughed so hard I thought I was going to die. It's not as funny on re-watch, I think, but that first time? Hi-fucking-larious.
Franks and beans! Franks and beans!
