Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.
Vitameatavegamin!
While the cumulative effect of the second viewing of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was to laugh so hard I lost my voice, there wasn't any one scene that did me in.
Not even when you saw who was driving the Mystery Machine?
I know Bringing up Baby always has me in stitches, but I can't recall any particular scene that's amazingly funny except for the disentegrating dinosaur skeleton.
Michael Palin driving the steamroller in A Fish Called Wanda was a definite high point too.
"Blessed are the cheesemakers"
"It's not meant to be taken *literally*; it can refer to any purveyor of dairy products...."
A lot of my favorite funny movie moments are by the Pythons.
The priest saying the following prayer:
Oh Lord, oooh, you are so very big, so absolutely huge, gosh we're all really impressed down here, I can tell you...
I know Bringing up Baby always has me in stitches, but I can't recall any particular scene that's amazingly funny except for the disentegrating dinosaur skeleton.
What Matt said.
Also, The Pink Panther movies. And Withnail and I, esp "Get in the back of the van!"
what movie (or mass entertainment) scenes made you laugh the hardest?
Any number of scenes between Groucho Marx and Margaret Dumont, or between Groucho, Chico and Harpo. Harpo Marx in general.
The Tarzan, Tonto and Frankenstein scene from SNL where they're all being interviewed on a talk show, and Lovitz does something to make Hartman crack up so hard he has to just stand up and say "FIRE BAD" in between giggles, and goes crashing through the back wall of the set, just to get off stage and lose his shit.
Just about any sequence from News Radio, especially any scene with Jimmy James.
A bunch of stuff from both animated and live-action Tick, though nothing specific is coming to mind right now.
And I think the GWtW Caroll Burnett scene may just be the funniest thing of all time.
Tim Conway's elephant bit.
Ah Robin, sharing the Marx Bros love with me.
Michael Palin driving the steamroller in A Fish Called Wanda was a definite high point too.
Pretty much that whole movie had me in danger of peeing myself from laughing so hard.
Tim Conway's elephant bit.
You know it's funny when even the professionals can't keep from laughing.
