Sam-Who-Likes-Some-Things - Hot Fuzz
Why is this not a huge cult favorite? It's even funnier than Sean of the Dead. For one thing it has a better ending. And almost as much gore. Writers should love it - nothing is introduced without being used later.
Favorite bit - the goose.

Good Cop, Bad Cop
I always take a book with me when I'm moving the car. (A city ritual for those who don't know. Cars cannot be parked on most streets for some hour period during the week, so you have to park them somewhere else, then move them back, usually with about half an hour to go to make sure you get a spot.
