Night at the Opera  ...Say this table is set for four.  That's nothing, my alarm clock is set for eight...
Animal Crackers  Hooray for Captain Spaulding, the African explorer!
Young Frankenstein   ...Frau Blucher [horses neighing]...
Monty Python and the Holy Grail  ...go away you silly English-speaking pig-dogs or I will taunt you again...
The Princess Bride   ...look who knows so much!  It so happens your friend here is only mostly dead, and mostly dead is slightly alive!... (from which both Ted Cruz and I can quote extensive passages with voice characterizations from memory when the occasion arises)
Bringing Up Baby  ...no, no, no it was most distinctly a loon...
The Producers  (though the remake as an actual Broadway musical is better than the original movie)

Okay, off the beaten path...

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Flesh Gordon (An initially x-rated parody of Flash Gordon. You have to know the show from the serials, though, to really appreciate it.)

Jeff Dunham with Peanut, Ahmed the Dead Terrorist, etc. (World Tour)

Being There (Peter Sellers as Chance, the Gardener).

Young Frankenstein. Definitely.

Tim Conway's dentist skit (With Harvey Korman on Carol Burnett).

Pulp Fiction.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
