NJL said:ah, so you win this time.....
but i'm still going to watch it tonight!!!
Well, it's still a classic Brooks film. I might pop in Young Frankenstein tonite.
Sidenote, why is "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" the ONLY Mel Brooks film you can't get on DVD??

You rule for remembering that one!
I always liked these Kubrick gems:
I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration,
Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the
international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of
our precious bodily fluids.
General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden)
Dr. Strangelove
Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one forty-
five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days'
concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing
antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills,
tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase
book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred
dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of
prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings.
Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas
with all that stuff.
Major T.J 'King' Kong (Slim Pickens)
Dr. Strangelove
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room.
President Merkin Muffley (Peter Sellers)
Dr Strangelove
Well, let's see... First the earth cooled. Then the dinosaurs came. But they got too big and fat, so they all died an turned into oil. And then the Arabs came, and they bought Mercedes-Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it, he took her best summer dress out of the closet and.... oh, never mind.

This explains much....
...and the first time I heard my quote was from my father, so I believe that would pass another defeat to our good friend semantics...
Some of my favorite lines from Top Secret!:
"My uncle is an American, but he was one of the lucky ones. He managed to escape in a ballon during the Jimmy Carter presidency."
"My name is Nick.My father thought of it shaving."
"So, Mr. Rivers, it seems you have become... how do you say, indispensible?"
"Indispensible."
"That's what I thought."
[The East German national anthem.] "Hail, hail East Germany / Land of fruit and grape / Land where you'll regret / If you try to escape / No matter if you tunnel under or take a running jump at the wall / Forget it, the guards will kill you, if the electrified fence doesn't first."

"Where were you last night?"
"That's so long ago I don't remember."
"Will I see you tonight?"
"I never plan that far in advance."
-Casablanca-

Now i have to do this too:
Bravely bold Sir Robin
Rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid
To be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin.
He was not in the least bit scared
To be mashed into a pulp.
Or to have his eyes gouged out,
And his elbows broken.
To have his kneecaps split
And his body burned away,
And his limbs all hacked and mangled
Brave Sir Robin.
His head smashed in
And his heart cut out
And his liver removed
And his bowls unplugged
And his nostrils raped
And his bottom burnt off
And his pen--
That's... that's enough music for now
Brave Sir Robin ran away.
("No!")
Bravely ran away away.
("I didn't!")
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
("I never!")
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
("You're lying!")
****Bravely**** taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Robin!

AL. Before I go Igor, can I ask you a personal question?
IGOR. What is it?
AL. Where did you get that hump? Were you born with it?
IGOR. What hump?
AL. ...er not to worry. Thanks for your time Igor, Careful - your stew is getting away.
