[good, seems everyone has forgotten my sexist remarks in which i used the word 'chick':]
Well, Kevin, I haven't forgotten, but I just thought it was silly. Lots of, (shudder) chicks love Monty Python. Wasn't the male/female distinction more clearly demonstrated by those who liked/did not like Blazing Saddles? Perhaps it's just me and my weird-ball friends, but that one kind of split the audience on gender lines.
Oh, and I love the Stooges too.

I like "A Christmas Story" fine! Although the tongue frozen to the pole part makes me cringe.
Reeeeeeaally sick of "A Christmas Story". My in-laws had the TV on all day yesterday and it was showing "ACS" over and over and over and over and over....
I have a new favorite word: fuckery. Thanks, Mary! :-)Blazing Saddles: I like it but I've only seen bits and pieces of it. Most Mel Brooks movies I've seen I love, i.e. Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs, History of the World, The Producers, Robin Hood: Men in Tights. I don't see Mel Brooks comedy as appealing to one gender more than the other but I my old boss hated him. Dunno!
A Christmas Story: I don't know what it is about that movie but I hate it...even with Darren McGavin in it. But I do recognize its validity as a Christmas classic. I know so many people who love it.
Well, see, I tole ya it was just my own friends. Most of them are pretty...wait a minute...most of my friends don't care for what may be loosely called "chick films" at all. So. Right again, Bun. I love Mel Brooks but didn't like "Saddles". OTOH, loved "Young Frankenstein"; it's one of my favorites.
Young Frankenstein is one of my favorite movies of all times.
I know Young Frankenstein's one of Jackie's all-time favorites. I'm waiting for her to chime in with her squee. :)
YES!!! I luuurve Young Frankenstein. SO many good lines!"What knockers!"
"Sank you, doctor!"

There's a character in the novel of Flash Forward whose name is Frau Drescher (I think -- hazards of audiobooks) but I keep hearing the narrator say Frau Blucher.
Some whinnies would vastly improve this book. Or a couple of robots and an astronaut giving color commentary.
Well, why isn't it "Froaderick Fronkensteen"?
But which astronaut? Joel or Mike?
I saw the Mike episodes before the Joel ones, so I'm a little predisposed in that direction, but either one would do.Failing their intervention, a drinking game in which you chug anytime the author mentions hair or says "indeed" would suffice.
"Walk this way... No, THIS way!"
i can never listen to Puttin' on the Ritz without thinking of this movie
I can't even read a reference to Puttin' on the Ritz without giggling. I'm giggling now. I don't even need to hear it.
Have you seen the well-to-doUp and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air...
High hats and Arrowed collars, white spats and lots of dollarsSpending every dime, for a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits...
Puttin' on the RitzGreat, great movie.
Ah, but "Oh sweet mystery of life, at last I've found you" had to be one of the funniest uses of music I've ever been happy to see...
When I was 11 my best friend and I watched that movie so many times we could do the whole thing in the back seat of the car, much to my parents dismay. My dad is still mad at me for ruining his favorite movie.
