Spike ,'Smile Time'
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.
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!
Um, The In-Laws? "Sepentine, Shel."
Mos def the Ref.
Woody Allen chasing a lobster with melted butter.
Joan Cusack getting pissed about being jilted at the altar in "In And Out" and talking about all she gave up and yelling "I watched "Funny Lady" for you!" (Of course most of that is probably Joan's reading.)
Much of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
"He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy." "Blessed are the cheesemakers" Cleese's Centurion correcting the anti-Roman graffiti.
Lots of Buster Keaton moment--too many to mention.
Franks and beans! Franks and beans!
Almost peed myself.
The scene in Harold and Kumar where Kumar's dad says, "Daddy's not coming on anything!" It wasn't the line that got me, but watching H&K hold in the laugh - barely. And then with Ryan Reynolds wiping the sweat and Doogie humping the seat and just about everything in that movie.
Also, Carol Kane in Scrooged.
It was hard not laughing at her Madame Morrible.
"Sometimes you have to slap them in the face...."
I watched that movie (Harold and Kumar) two nights ago. It made me laugh a lot. In a lot of places.
But as far as laughing so hard I couldn't breathe? Nothing beats the sex song in "Run Ronnie Run," a movie that has lots of low points otherwise, but that song: damn. Double damn. Oh, also, the scene where Mandy Patinkin is doing "Ronnie: The Musical."
