Howdy folks!
Went to dinner with some friends last night after one of our exams and started talking about movies. One girl started quoting from Young Frankenstein, and we went back and forth through a whole scene while everyone looked at us like we were crazy. It could have been the sleep deprivation, but I almost snorted pizza out my nose.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Igor, would you mind telling me whose brain I did put in?
Igor: And you won't be angry?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I will NOT be angry.
Igor: Abby someone.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Abby someone. Abby who?
Igor: Abby Normal.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Abby Normal?
Igor: I'm almost sure that was the name.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA?
[shakes and grabs him]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME?
Even better...
Igor: Dr. Frankenstein...
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "Fronkensteen."
Igor: You're putting me on.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No, it's pronounced "Fronkensteen."
Igor: Do you also say "Froaderick"?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No..."Frederick."
Igor: Well, why isn't it "Froaderick Fronkensteen"?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: It isn't; it's "Frederick Fronensteen."
Igor: I see.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: You must be Igor.
[He pronounces it ee-gor]
Igor: No, it's pronounced "eye-gor."
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: But they told me it was "ee-gor."
Igor: Well, they were wrong then, weren't they?
Anywho, Young Frankenstein is a personal favorite of mine. Dumb and Dumber is great, What About Bob, Spaceballs, Monty Python and the Holy Grail....

I saw Young Frankenstein well over 100 times as a movie usher. We used to be able to recite the thing from one end to the other, as well as numerous other films. A couple things to look for are the bell tolls 13 times right at the beginning and when Igor throws "the main switch" it says "The Works" either above or below the switch. There was more but those two I always remembered. And, of course, Igor's hump keeps moving back and forth.
Frankenstein, "What's the matter with your hump?"
Igor, "What hump?"
apparently their doing a musical remake, Clris Leachman will revive her role as "Frau Blucher"
(Sound of agitated horses whinnying...)

Not exactly highbrow, but the bit on Dodgeball with the wrenches made me hurt - "You can dodge a wrench then you can dodge a ball."

Somebody already mentioned "Life of Brian"
So I'll throw out "Princess Bride"
"My name is Enigo Montoya, you keeled my father, prepare to die!"
Man in Black: All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right... and who is dead.
Vizzini: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You've made your decision then?
Vizzini: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
Man in Black: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Vizzini: Wait til I get going! Now, where was I?
Man in Black: Australia.
Vizzini: Yes, Australia. And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You're just stalling now.
Vizzini: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.
Vizzini: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!
Man in Black: Then make your choice.
Vizzini: I will, and I choose - What in the world can that be?
Vizzini: [Vizzini gestures up and away from the table. Roberts looks. Vizzini swaps the goblets]
Man in Black: What? Where? I don't see anything.
Vizzini: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. No matter.First, let's drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours.
Man in Black, Vizzini: [they drink ]
Man in Black: You guessed wrong.
Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...
Vizzini: [Vizzini stops suddenly, and falls dead to the right]
Buttercup: And to think, all that time it was your cup that was poisoned.
Man in Black: They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.

I'll try to come up with a few that haven't been mentioned yet . . .

The Valley of Gwangi (James Franciscus, Gila Golan, plus cowboys, gypsies, & dinosaurs)
Our Man Flint and In Like Flint (James Coburn)
The Wrecking Crew, Murderer's Row, The Silencers, The Ambushers (Dean Martin as supercool spy Matt Helm)
I also developed a fondness for the late-night cartoon "Boondocks" . . . though I suspect the writer (Aaron Magruder?) would probably tell me I'm too superficial in my understanding of it, since I was laughing at the wrong parts and for the wrong reasons . . .

It could have been the sleep deprivation, but I almost snorted pizza out my nose.
Dammit! Now I've gotta clean coffee out of two keyboards, five monitors, a printer, and a radio console....

An off the wall one I just love. Wish I could find it on DVD.
Yellowbeard - Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, John Cleese, Cheech and Chong, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman.
Some selected dialogue:
Yellowbeard: She couldn't be your mother. No woman ever slept with me and lived.
(Treasure map is tattooed on Dan's (Yellowbeard's son) head)
Yellowbeard: Where's the map?
Betty: What map?
Yellowbeard: If you say you don't know where it is, I'll nail your **** to the table!
Dan: Look, if you cut my head off it'll start to putrify!
Yellowbeard: Do what?
Dan: Putrify, go rotten!
Yellowbeard: Yeah, it would ooze a lot, heads do. But I could live with that.
Dan: Everyone will be following you and if they catch you they'll have the map.
Yellowbeard: Bugger them! I'll eat it first. Won't be the first head I've eaten.
Betty: That's Yellowbeard.
Yellowbeard: I'm in disguise, you stupid tart!
Betty: It's been twenty years since we had a little cuddle, and what do you do? Come in and give me a kiss? No, you rush in and hack a hole in the wall.
Betty: Well, it's been awhile since we had a little cuddle.
Yellowbeard: I raped ya, if that's what you mean.
Betty: Okay. It was half-cuddle, half-rape.
Yellowbeard: I'm sure I killed the last one I raped, it can't have been you.
Betty: Well, the afterplay was a bit on the rough side, but not fatal dear.
Yellowbeard: Who're you talkin' about?
Betty: The fruit of your loins, sugar drawers.
Yellowbeard: Are you mad, woman? I haven't got fruit in my loins! Lice, yes, and proud of 'em!
Betty: When little Dan came along ...
Yellowbeard: Who's Dan?
Betty: [indignantly] My and *probably* your son!
Yellowbeard: Oh, been out raping, lad?
[sees Troila]
Yellowbeard: Nice work lad.
Dan: No, I haven't raped her!
Yellowbeard: [disappointed] No, you wouldn't have you poncy little git! You're not the prawn of my loins, your mother's a bloody liar!
[grins]
Yellowbeard: That's what I liked about her!
Yellowbeard: With your head on my shoulders we could wreck civilization!
Yellowbeard: Dying's the easy way out. You won't catch me dying. They'll have to kill me before I die!
Harvey 'Blind' Pew: I may be blind, but I have acute 'earing.
Commander Clement: I'm not interested in your jewellery.
Yellowbeard: When they stretched me on the rack for a couple of years, I didn't go around dyin' all over the place!
Yellowbeard: Where's my pirating outfit?
Dan: Father! We thought you were dead.
Yellowbeard: Us Yellowbeards are never more dangerous than when we're dead. How are you gettin' on pirating?
Dan: Um, well...
Yellowbeard: How many men have you killed so far?
Dan: One. Two, I think.
Yellowbeard: You think? You'll never kill anyone if you go around thinkin'.
Yellowbeard: I'll kill anyone who get's in the way of me killing anyone.

Thats 'cause that part of the movie is set in New York City. You know, sanitation workers strike and all that fun.
