Blazing
Saddles (1974)
- Mel Brooks' spoof comedy and lampooning of the
western genre and cowboys, deliberately with much political incorrectness,
vulgarity, offensiveness and political satire
- the town meeting scene in Rock Ridge's church,
with a warning delivered by Reverend Johnson's warning: ("Well,
I don't have to tell you good folks what has been happening here
in our beloved town. Sheriff murdered, crops burned, stores looted,
people stampeded and cattle raped! Now the time has come to act.
And act fast! I'm leaving"), when he was interrupted by
a grizzly mountaineer named Gabby Johnson (Jack Starrett)
- the scene of near-sighted and dim-witted Governor
Le Petomane's (Mel Brooks) (in his underwear) nuzzling into bosomy
secretary Miss Stein's (Robyn Hilton) cleavage while addressing
her full breasts: "Hello boys. Have a good night's rest? I missed
you", and being advised at the same time by villainous and scheming
attorney general Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman) to take over 200,000
acres of Indian land in exchange for a box of paddle-board toys,
and to convert a hospital (for the insane) into a gambling casino
(for the insane)
- the scene in which Hedley was recruiting men to
assault the town (Hedley Lamarr: "Qualifications?" Applicant: "Rape,
murder, arson, and rape." Hedley Lamarr: "You said
rape twice." Applicant: "I like rape.")
- the Waco Kid (Gene Wilder)
pretending to capture and hold up Black Bart (Cleavon Little)
as bait for two Ku Klux Klan members so that they could steal
their white robes: ("Oh, boys! Lookee what I got hereuh")
- with Bart's mock-dumb (racially-stereotyped) taunt: "Hey!
Where are the white women at?"
- the scene of the new Rock Ridge Sheriff Black
Bart's warning to the townsfolk as he reached
down for his acceptance speech - to their gaspings:
"Excuse me while I whip this out"
- the scene of the 'Waco Kid' explaining his past
history to Black Bart: "Oh, well, it got so that every piss-ant
prairie punk who thought he could shoot a gun would ride into
town to try out the Waco Kid. I must have killed more men than
Cecil B. DeMille. It got pretty gritty. I started to hear the
word 'draw' in
my sleep. Then one day, I was just walking
down the street, and I heard a voice behind me say, 'Reach for
it, Mister!' And I spun around and there I was, face to face
with a six-year-old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and
walked away - little bastard shot me in the ass! So I limped
to the nearest saloon, crawled inside a whiskey bottle, and,
I've been there ever since"
- the infamous gas-passing, bean-eating scene around
the campfire by flatulent cowboys -- play clip (excerpt):
- Hedley's request of cowpoke Taggart (Slim Pickens):
("I want you to round up every vicious criminal and gunslinger
in the west. Take this down....I want rustlers, cutthroats, murderers,
bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, half-wits,
dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits,
muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves,
bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers
and Methodists") - with Taggart's dumbfounded response: "Could
you repeat that, sir?"
- the scene in which Mongo (Alex Karras) entered
Rock Ridge riding an ox, then later knocked out a horse with
a bare, single-fisted punch
- saloon singer Lili Von Shtupp's (Madeline Kahn)
exquisite parodies of Marlene Dietrich's "Frenchy" from Destry
Rides Again (1939), and of Jean Harlow in Hell's Angels
(1930): ("Won't you excuse me for a moment while I slip
into something a little bit more comfortable?")
- Lili's seduction scene of sheriff Black Bart:
("Tell me, schatzie, is it, ah, twue what they say about
the way you people are gifted?") - with her memorable phrase: "Oh,
it's twue, it's twue" after unzipping his fly (with a loud
zipper noise) and examining his endowment in the dark
- the film ended with an absurd brawl between the
good guys and the bad guys - when the
camera pulled back to show that the film was being shot on a
present-day Hollywood set in the middle of Los Angeles
- the climactic production of a pseudo-Busby
Berkeley musical number ("The French Mistake") in an adjoining
set with an all-gay cast of men in black tuxedos and top hats, directed
by effeminate choreographer Buddy Bizarre (Dom DeLuise); the choreographer
criticized the dancers and demanded that they watch his own flawed demonstration: "Just
watch me. It's so simple, you sissy Marys! Give me the playback! And watch
me, faggots" - the chorus sang as he stumbled around: "Throw
out your hands Stick out your tush Hands on your hips Give 'em a push You'll
be surprised You're doing the French Mistake! Voila!"
- the chaotic fighting from
the Blazing Saddles set
burst through the wall, bringing two conflicting film genres
together, and degenerating into a major fight; in the studio's commissary
where bikini clad actresses, a Hitler-look-alike (Ralph Manza),
and others were eating, the Adolph Hitler character responded
to a question about how many days he has left: "They
lose me right after the bunker scene," as the place erupted
into a 'great pie fight'

- the character pairing of two "blues brothers" -
two white singers with soul, shades, and identical black suits
and hats: Jake (John Belushi) and Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd)

to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes,
it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses" - Jake responded briefly:
"Hit it!"
- the apartment lobby scene when Elwood announced
that his brother Jake would be staying with him, and card-playing
Cheez-Whiz (Layne Britton) yelled out: "Did you get me my
Cheez-Whiz, boy?"

tossing it to him
- their meeting with their former teacher, Sister
Mary "The Penguin" Stigmata (Kathleen Freeman), who
sent them on a "mission from God" to raise $5,000 to
save the Catholic orphanage where they were raised from foreclosure,
after reprimanding them, striking them for having
"filthy mouths and bad attitudes" - and warning them
not to come back "until you've redeemed yourselves"
- Elwood's repeated famous line to Jake: ("We're
on a mission from God!") to justify their brotherly activities,
in the Triple Rock Baptist church, in the presence of Reverend
Cleophus James (James Brown), who was preaching: "Do you
see the light?...Have you seen the light?":
- the tremendous number of noisy and wasteful multi-car
crashes and pile-ups on the way to and in the city of Chicago
as they were relentlessly pursued in their Bluesmobile by police,
and the incredible amount of carnage, destroyed buildings and
shopping malls
- the character of a Neo-Nazi leader (Henry Gibson),
conducting a rally of "Illinois Nazis" on a stone bridge:
("White men! White women! The swastika is calling you! The
sacred and ancient symbol of your race since the beginning of
time. The Jew is using the black as muscle against you. And you
are left there, helpless...What are you gonna do about it, whitey?
Just sit there? Of course not! You are going to join with us,
the members of the American Socialist White People's Party -
an organization of decent law-abiding white folk just like you"),
and the sequence in which the Blues Brothers forced the followers
to jump off the bridge when they drove through after Jake's statement: "I
hate Illinois Nazis"
- the Blues Brothers' many performances, including
"Shake a Tail Feather" with Ray Charles at Ray's Music
Exchange Shop, the theme from "Rawhide" to win over an
unruly country bar crowd at Bob's Country Bunker in Kokomo, and
their main performance of "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" at
the Palace Hotel Ballroom north of Chicago
- the concluding sequence of the two brothers, pursued
by cops, bands, guardsmen, SWAT teams, etc, paying the orphanage's
property taxes inside the Cook County City Hall - where they
were promptly arrested with dozens of guns pointed at them
- the many cameo appearances (Twiggy, Carrie Fisher,
Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker, James Brown, Pee-Wee Herman, Aretha
Franklin, Cab Calloway, Steve Lawrence, Steven Spielberg, and
Frank Oz - of the Muppets, and more!)

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America
for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
- a controversial yet strangely popular
mockumentary comedies, a road trip film to find the real America,
by interacting and reacting with Americans in unscripted situations
- the title character Borat Sagdiyev (Sacha
Baron Cohen), a fictitious, anti-Semitic, sexist, bigoted
and racist Kazakh reporter, who introduced himself in the opening
scene: ("My name Borat. I like you. I like sex. It's nice")
- Borat's introduction of his sister - with a lengthy
kiss ("This is Natalya. She is my sister. She is number four prostitute
in all of Kazakhstan"); she held up a trophy as proof
- the anti-Semitic ritual of "the running of
the Jew and Mrs. Jew"
(not the Running of the Bull) - when Mrs. Jew laid a large egg, Borat
urged: "Go, kids, crush that Jew chick before he hatches"
- the scene at a rodeo when Borat told the crowd: "We
support your war of terror," and then announced: "May
we show our support to your boys in Iraq?...May George Bush drink
the blood of every single man, woman and child of Iraq" -
and then sang his own Kazakhstan anthem to the tune of the "Star
Spangled Banner" ("Kazakhstan is the greatest country
in the world")
- his meeting with a group of veteran feminists, when
he asked them: "Do you think a woman should be educate?...But is
it not a problem that a woman have a smaller brain than a man?...But
the government scientist, Dr. Yamak, prove it's the size of squirreI"
- the sex-obsessed Borat's conversation with a car
dealer salesman, asking first: "I want to have a car that attract
a woman with a shave down below"; when told he should buy a Corvette
or a Hummer, he added: "I must buy one with a pussy magnet" - a
literal one
- the scene with a patient female etiquette instructor
who attempted to help Borat with his table manners
- his visit to a gun shop where he directly asked
the owner for a gun to kill Jews
- the many quotable one-liners, especially in his
butchering of the English language: "I like to make sexy time!"
- the lengthy, nervously-funny sequence - the
humorous precursor to the lengthy naked fight scene
in Cronenberg's Eastern
Promises (2007) - the epic naked (ass-to-mouth) wrestling match
between Borat and his own overweight and hairy producer-cinematographer
Azamat Bagatov (Ken Davitian), after catching him masturbating over
a picture of Baywatch's "goddess" Pamela
Anderson ("How dare you make hand-party over Pamela?"); the
fight spilled out in the hallway, elevator and into a conference hall
where a meeting was being conducted; the genitals of Borat were blanked
out by an insanely-long black bar
- his encounter with the real Pamela Anderson at a
book-signing in California

Born Yesterday (1950)

of gin rummy and always winning ("Gin!") against Harry

stupid-sounding, Betty Boop-like voice

a peninsula and penicillin, but her increased intelligence after
being tutored by ex-journalist Paul Varall (William Holden) -
i.e., Harry Brock: "Shut up! You ain't gonna be tellin'

a favor, Harry?...Drop dead!"

officer about her recent marriage to Paul: "We'll make it.
It's a clear case of predestination."

Bowfinger (1999)
- in this satirical Hollywood film-making spoof
(about making a movie without paying the main male star), the scene
in which desperate, washed-up movie producer-director Robert "Bobby" K.
Bowfinger (Steve Martin) spoke with his bed-hopping
ingenue actress Daisy (Heather Graham) about their mutual likes
and dislikes, including The Flintstones TV show, "walks
in the park - in the rain", Robert Preston in The Music
Man, and then her question: "Do
you LOVE Smashing Pumpkins?", and his inept reply: "Are
you kidding? I LOVE to do that!"
- 49 year old Bowfinger's kissing and love-making
scene with the much-younger Daisy ("What is age? It's a state
of mind...Who cares if when I hit my sexual peak, you'll be 70?");
she didn't know the reference when he told her: "I know, it's
Bogey and Bacall!"; she manipulatively admitted her concerns
about shooting love scenes: "It's so hard to make love, to give
yourself to a man. It's the woman who's entered, it's the woman
who's violated....To know that the man inside you is part of
you and that he would not prevent the added scenes of yours from
being shot"
- the shooting of Daisy's topless love scene with
giddy co-actor Jiff Ramsey (Eddie Murphy), leading action star
Kit's look-alike nerdy brother (also Murphy), who
responded with a wide grin after she removed her blouse and whispered
to him: "Need you now" -
he told her: "Awesome!
(ad-libbed) You're doin' great. You're gonna be a star!"
- Bowfinger's accusation ("We are finished! We are
over!") but quick-to-subside anger at Daisy for having
"sex with Jiff"; when she replied: "So?", he acquiesed: "I never
thought of it that way" - and they made future plans to see each
other that night at 8 o'clock
- Kit's ranting complaint to his manager about discrimination
in the white-only Oscar nominations: "White boys get all the
Oscars. It's, it's a fact...Did I get a nomination? No! And you
know what? 'Cause I, I ain't played one of them slave roles,
and get my ass whipped. That's when you get a nomination. A black
dude play a slave role gets his ass whipped, he gets a
nomination. A white boy play an idiot, they get the Oscar.
Maybe I should play -
give me, find me a script as a retarded slave, then I get
the Oscar...Yeah, go find that script, Buck the Wonder Slave!"
- the scene of Jiff's frantic, death-defying run
across a busy Los Angeles freeway (the cars were digitally-added
later!)
- the potential "blackmail" footage
(shown on TV) of the "flashing" scene
of Kit (with a paper bag over his head with eye holes slits)
opening his coat and exposing himself to Laker Girls cheerleaders;
they responded with laughter - and he seemed insulted: "It's
not funny!"

Bridesmaids (2011)
- the embarrassing scene on an airplane, when maid
of honor Annie (Kristen Wiig) - drunk out of her mind - visited
her friends in first class, and was told to return to her seat;
she made a Hitler-face at male flight attendant Steve (Mitch Silpa):
"Ooh, this a very strict plane. Welcome to Germany! Aufwiedersein
Asshole"; shortly later, she returned and sat back down in another
row; when ordered to again return to her economy seat ("You have
3 seconds to get back to your seat"), she quipped: "You can't get
anywhere in 3 seconds....You're setting me up for a loss already"
- the food poisoning scene in an upscale wedding shop,
when the bridesmaids realized that their lunch (in a cheap seedy
restaurant) had caused almost all of them to suffer severe stomach
ailments; two of them rushed to the bathroom, where Megan (Melissa
McCarthy) - with the toilet occupied - hopped up on the sink to
expel her stomach's contents, roaring out: "Look
away!...Don't look at me!"
- and soon after, the sickened bride Lillian (Maya
Rudolph) also ran out into the middle of the street, sank or squatted
down with her white dress billowing around her, as she evacuated
her bowels: "What's
happening?...It happened!"

Bringing
Up Baby (1938)
- the comedic antics and "misadventures"
between shy, bespectacled paleontologist David Huxley (Cary Grant)
and scatter-brained, fast-talking eccentric heiress Susan Vance
(Katharine Hepburn), remade in homage as Peter Bogdanovich's What's
Up, Doc? (1972) with Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal
- the opening golf course scene in which mad-cap
Susan continuously interrupted bumbling David's golf game with
Mr. Peabody, by stealing his golf ball (or playing it), and driving
away in his battered car ("I'll be
with you in a minute, Mr. Peabody!")
- Susan's olive game
- the scene of David's torn tuxedo and her ripped
evening dress including their rapid exit from a supper club as
he walked in unison close behind her, in lock-step, gallantly
covered her posterior and saved her reputation --
- and his confessional statement to her: "Now
it isn't that I don't like you, Susan, because after all, in
moments of quiet I'm strangely drawn toward you, but well, there
haven't been any quiet moments. Our relationship has been a series
of misadventures from beginning to end..." after which he
sprawled face-first onto the ground
- pet leopard Baby's chicken coop meal
- fluffy negligee-wearing David's strange appearance
("I don't know, I'm not quite myself today") - and his sarcastic
exclamation in front of Susan's rich Aunt Elizabeth (May Robson)
as he jumped into the air while dressed in a fluffy and frilly
negligee (Susan's dressing gown): "Because
I just went gay all
of a sudden" - and when she explained to her Aunt that David
was a friend of her brother's from Brazil and that David was
on the verge of a nervous breakdown, he quipped: "I'm a
nut from Brazil"
- the long search in the woods for Baby with a
butterfly net, and their singing of the song: "I Can't Give
You Anything But Love" to coax a tame pet leopard named
Baby off a roof
- the major incarceration scene in the jail cells
where Susan pretended to be a gangster moll and the appearance
of a leopard (not Baby but a murderous escaped animal from the
circus) - a case of mistaken leopard identity
- the finale - the return of the missing dog-buried
bone and the swaying, crumbling collapse and destruction of the
reconstructed brontosaurus skeleton as Susan and David dangled
from the scaffolding - she apologized: ("Oh David, look
what I've done. Oh, I'm so sorry. Oh, oh, David, can you ever
forgive me? You can and you still love me...You do, oh David"),
and he replied during their final kiss and embrace: ("Oh,
dear. Oh, my. Hmmm")

Broadcast News (1987)
- the ironic prologue illustrating the formative
childhoods of the Oscar-nominated trio of future broadcast news
professionals:
- the good-looking, airhead news anchor Tom Grunick (William Hurt)
("What can you do with yourself when all you can do is look
good")
- the insecure, serious, intelligent news reporter Aaron Altman
(Albert Brooks) who graduated high school at 15
- the fussy, driven, and strident network news producer Jane Craig
(Holly Hunter) with a wordy argumentative discussion with her father
over the word 'obsessive'
- the classic scene in which wacky news assistant
director Blair Litton (Joan Cusack) painfully rushed to get a
finished tape to the control booth in time for broadcast - running
into a garbage can and a file cart, slipping on papers under
an opened file drawer, jumping over a toddler and her mother,
and slamming into a hallway water fountain
- the scene of quick-thinking Jane cleverly feeding
Tom information via his earpiece during a special live news report
on a Libyan attack on US bases in Sicily, and Tom's gleeful reaction
of thanks to Jane afterwards at her desk: ("You're an amazing
woman. What a feeling having you inside my head... It's like
indescribable -- you knew just when to feed me the next line,
you knew the second before I needed it. There was like a rhythm
we got into... it was like great sex!")
- the apres-sex scene of reporter Jennifer
Mack (Lois Chiles) playfully asking handsome but vacuous nude
Tom about his prominent penis shadow in silhouette after sleeping
with him, as she laughed: "Do you do bunny rabbits?" -
after he told her about her open clothes closet: "You can
see everything you have"
- the famous scene of uncharismatic, nervous news
writer Aaron's disastrous debut attempt at anchoring the weekend
news report when he sweat profusely ("flop sweat")
while one news producer humorously commented: "This is more
than Nixon ever sweated" - and Aaron's aside as the news
went to a commercial after he reported: "...at least 22
people dead" - I wish I were one of them"
- the scene of Tom and Jane's passionate outdoor
kiss when he suggested sex to her in obvious terms: "I've
been wondering what it'd be like to be inside all that
energy"
- the scene of Aaron's desperate attempt to dissuade
Jane from engaging in a relationship with media-friendly Tom
by comparing him to the devil: "Tom, while being a very
nice guy, is the devil...I'm semi-serious here...He will be attractive,
he'll be nice and helpful...He'll never do an evil thing. He'll
never deliberately hurt a living thing. He'll just bit by little
bit lower our standards where they're important. Just a tiny
little bit. Just coax along. Flash over substance...And he'll
get all the great women"; when Jane accused Aaron of being
the devil, he countered that her assertion was impossible: ("You
know I'm not...Because I think we have the kind of friendship
where if I were the Devil, you'd be the only one I would tell...Give
me this. He personifies everything you've been fighting against
- And I'm in love with you. How do ya like that? I buried the
lead")
- shortly later as they part, the scene of Aaron's
bitter, sour-grapes prediction of Jane's future when she asked
what would happen to their relationship as friends: "Anyway,
I'll be walking along with my wife and my two lovely children
and we'll bump into you. And my youngest son will say something,
and I will tell him it's not nice to make fun of single, fat
ladies"
- the anguish and anger Jane felt when she realized
Tom unethically faked tears in a cutaway shot for an interview
- "It made me...ILL...You can get fired for things like
that...(Tom's retort: "I've gotten promoted for
things like that!") You totally crossed the line"
- Jane's confrontation with Tom at the airport,
telling him that they were so mismatched that she would not join
him for a vacation during her time-off
- the poignant epilogue in which Jane, Tom and
Aaron -- both men happily married with others (and Jane in a
relationship) -- caught up about things seven years later

under a gazebo

voices

Bruce Almighty (2003)
- the studio scene of the broadcast
sabotage of the Eyewitness News at 6 newscast delivered
by rival, newly-promoted, obnoxious co-anchor Evan Baxter (Steve
Carell), perfectly disrupted into complete and hilarious gibberish
by the lip-synching of disgruntled Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey); in
addition, Bruce pantomimed typing in alternative news-copy into
the teleprompter, causing Evan to say: "In
other news: The prime-minister of Sweden visited Washington today,
and my tiny little nipples went to France," followed by other
ridiculous lines: "The
White House reception committee greeted the prime rib roast minister
and I do the cha-cha like a sissy girl. I lika do da cha-cha";
in addition, Bruce made some embarrassing fart noises, thought
to come from Evan
- the breakfast scene of Evan's girlfriend
Grace Connelly (Jennifer Aniston), observing that her breasts had
grown larger overnight (she asked: "I woke up this morning
and I felt like, like my boobs were bigger. I mean, do they look
bigger to you?"), with Evan's double-entendre reply: "This
has been the breast beckf..."
- and the scene of her 'no-contact' uncontrollable,
mental orgasm without human touch; while alone in her bathroom,
he sexually aroused her through his mental powers, and she moaned
as she fell back on the toilet seat: "Oh,
my God! Ooh!...Oh, God! Oh, Good God!"; she appeared from
the bathroom bedraggled, sex-hungry and ready for more - and received
a body-slam into the bed

Bull Durham (1988)
- devout and sexy baseball groupie Annie Savoy's
(Susan Sarandon) lengthy opening narration regarding
her beloved team - the Durham Bulls of North Carolina: ("I believe in
the Church of Baseball")
- also the scene of erratic, moronic, dim-bulb young
pitcher-ballplayer Ebby "Nuke" Laloosh's
(Tim Robbins) wild pitches that knocked down the bull mascot twice
(throughout the film) and also sailed into the booth of the sports
announcer
- the classic, memorable philosophical speech of
veteran journeyman baseball catcher Crash Davis (Kevin Costner)
in response to the beliefs of Annie when he was in her living room
competing with fellow dating prospect "Nuke" LaLoosh
and she proposed to "hook
up with one guy a season":
("Well,
I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's
back, the hangin' curveball, high fiber, good Scotch, that the
novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, over-rated crap. I believe
Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there oughta be a constitutional
amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe
in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents
Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve. And I believe in long,
slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Good-night.")
- and Annie's breathless reply: "Oh my!"
- the inspired scene in which the team's players
at midnight deliberately flooded a field to cause a rainout - and
then played in the muddy, water-soaked ball field
- the entire infield meeting
on the pitcher's mound to discuss wedding gifts for the upcoming
marriage of the team's devout Christian, Jimmy (William O'Leary)
to amoral groupie Millie (Jenny Robertson), punctuated by irate
fast-talking pitching coach Larry Hockett's (Robert Wuhl) suggestion:
("...candlesticks
always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where
she's registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware
pattern")
- the scene of veteran catcher Crash
Davis teaching Nuke the lyrics to his butchered version
of "Try
a Little Tenderness" on the team bus (instead of "Young girls
they do get wearied" he sings: "Young girls they do get woolly")

crazy, the fall'll probably kill ya") and their big jump off

a long and drawn out: "AWWWWW S-----T"
