(4,940 posts)I've seen it probably 200 times, and shown it to my daughter, her friends, my granddaughter, HER friends, everyone........ and I still miss some nuance every time.
When I read the OP? First thought was.........
Blazing Saddles. And yes, Clevon Little is probably one of the sexiest men, ever.

(5,504 posts)I re-watched the out of towners the other night for the first time in ages.
Almost wet myself when Jack Lemmon was trying to help that kid in the park
and the mounted police man started chasing him.
The scene in the principal's office with Ms. Balbraker.... that alone makes the movie.
Life of Brian
The Meaning of Life
Mel Brooks, History of the World, part I
Skeet shooting scene in "The Magic Christian."

(2,969 posts)No contest - gotta be Clerks. Kevin Smith made it by maxing out his personal credit cards while he worked in a convenience store, and it changed comedy cinema. There were several moments in it the first time I saw it where I laughed so hard I could barely breathe.

Storyline
In their first appearance in a Warner Bros. cartoon, the Coyote (Carnivorous vulgaris) and The Road Runner (Accelerati incredibulis) launch their neverending series of chases through the desert, and The Coyote begins his relationship with the Acme Corporation in his quest for the perfect Road Runner-catching device. Written by Paul Penna <tterrace@wco.com>
"The very first cartoon in Warner Bros. popular Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner series of cartoons. This one has the Coyote chasing the Roadrunner using a rather ingenious invention combining a fridge, a meat grinder, ice cubes, and skis."
The above is one of the greatest gags ever..I laugh just thinking about that one..........
