1. Marx Brothers' Horse Feathers
There is a disturbing flash..... a quick scene with no explanation. Everyone else is inside and.... in a "long" shot of this manor house in the darkness outside you get a glimpse of harpo chasing a screaming naked woman..... (WTF?!?)

I mean, you gotta love any movie where a rock band talks about their drummer dying because they choked on their own vomit. :spray:

11. The next one
spontaneously combusted, and the one after that died in a bizarre gardening accident, which the authorities thought was one of the things better left uninvestigated.
And the one who choked on vomit: David and Nigel suspected he might hae choked on someone else's vomit. It's not like you can fingerprint vomit, after all.

9. The 5,000 Fingers of Dr T
Dr. Seuss' live action musical, which I just watched this afternoon. A kid has a nightmare about an evil genius who wants to open an intitute where 500 children will play piano forever.

It goes from the dark depths of 'The Dungeon Song':



"FIRST FLOOR DUNGEON
Assorted simple tortures.
Molten lead, chopping blocks
And hot boiling oil.

SECOND FLOOR DUNGEON
Jewelry department.
Leg chains, ankle chains,
Neck chains, wrist chains, thumb screws
And nooses of the very finest rope.

BASEMENT DUNGEON--
EVERYBODY OUT."

to the ultra-camp 'Doe-Me-Doe Duds' number (sung by Dr. T as he gets ready to conduct the kids):

"Dress me in my silver garters, dress me in my diamond studs
Cause I'm going doe-me-doe-ing in my doe-me-doe duds!
I want my undulating undies with the maribou frills!
I want my beautiful bolero with the porcupine quills!
I want my purple nylon girdle with the orange blossom buds
Cause I'm going doe-me-doe-ing in my doe-me-doe duds!

Come on and dress me! dress me! dress me!
In my peek-a-boo blouse
With the lovely inner lining made of Chesapeake mouse!
I want my polka-dotted dickie with the crinolin fringe
For I'm going doe-me-doe-ing on a doe-me-doe binge!"

10. 'Another Nice Mess' with Rich Little and Herb Voland
This film was made in the early 70s during the Nixon Administration. Rich Little, who made a name for himself as an impersonator by doing a wonderful Richard Nixon played Nixon himself in this wacky comedy. Herb Voland (from 'Mash') bore a resemblance to Agnew and played Spiro. This is a crazy slapstick ridden movie about the goings on in the White House during the Nixon Administration. What's more, both Nixon and Agnew are playing the sub-roles of Laurel and Hardy (Nixon = Laurel, Agnew = Hardy) and the title of the movie is a take-off on the film 'Another Fine Mess'. There are some unbelievably funny scenes in this film, like a farting scene in the Presidential Limousine. There's a scene where Rich Little as Nixon wakes up in the morning and looks at his face in the mirror, shaking his jowels from side to side as he shaves himself that had me nearly collapsing to the floor of the movie theater in laughter. The film was written and directed by Super Dave Osborne (Bob Einstein). I don't think I've ever seen this film on TV and it had a short theatrical run. I remember hearing a rumor that the White House put pressure on the movie studio and theater chain to yank it because it was just too outrageous. Can anyone imagine a feature film comedy about the Bush Administration that goes as far as it possibly can? Like having Jeff Gannon parade in sexy outfits in the Oval Office as a male prostitute and the gang doing Village People skits with George in a flightsuit? Anyway, for its time, this film went about as far as it could in ridiculing Tricky Dick and Spiro.

14. I can't believe nobody mentioned this yet:


Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes "click."

Jesus.

You said it, man. Nobody fucks with the Jesus.
