My friend and I were watching the movie again the other night and I heard something I hadn't before and we both couldn't stop laughing. In the scene where the Alien lands in town, the play actors are talking about how it got there and Corky says (in his wonderfully weird voice) "It must-a flew"...
LOVE IT!!
LOL! "Everybody dance!"
"FRA-GEE-LAY. That's Italian!"
"I think that says 'fragile', honey."
that same voice talking about feeling the heat from backdraft.
The funniest part is Dr. Pearl's audition
This movie is one of the only movies that, no matter how often i see it, makes me laugh til my eyes tear up every time!
I love it when Corky tells the town committee, "You know what i'm gonna do? I'm gonna go home and bite my pillow! That's what I'm gonna do!"
"I've always depended on the kindness of strangers" -- A Streetcar Named Desire
Thats my favorite part too!!!!!
Aaaaand "And inside the circle its alwasys 67 degress with a 40% chance of rain"
when the *beep* hits the fan..
get a tent.

That is the best thing about Guest's comedies. You can watch them over and over and still find new things to laugh about. Reminds me of the line in Best is Show. "We can talk and talk and still find things not to talk about." I've heard that the actors have an open license on dialogue in Guest's movies. I suspect that they are allowed a lot of input but I can't buy that they make up most of their lines.

"I can understand what the Kennedy's go through." That cracked me up! I love the pretentiousness of the characters.
shareHow about the scene where corky and the composer are arguing about remembering the lines and corky says:
"Well it's kind of like that zen thing, you know, like how many babies can you fit into a tire."
Or the scene where Corky tells Dr. Pearl that he cant where his glasses and Dr. Pearl says:
"Well I can see two problems with that, contrary to public opinion I don't see very well, and you see these prescribed lens' fix a very noticable lazy eye."
What a movie
"Don't let your kid get Munsoned"
Just to name a few of the many good parts...
"I can't feel my buttocks..."
"Low- fat or fat-free... healthy... Blizzard."
"I'm gonna go home and bite my pillow!"
HA HA HA HA! This entire movie is classic!
"It's not easy being green!"

Probably been asked before but why do you all suppose these films don't get a wider audience? It is easily better than 90% of the comedies out there. Also, just curious to know if those of us who like Guest's films so much have a common taste in comedy. Here's some of my favorites, not in order of favorites:
MOVIES
Office Space
The House of Yes
Airplane
Love Story (not a comedy of course but I laughed out loud through most of it)
40 Year Old Virgin
Stripes
The Odd Couple
Sideways
American Movie
TV
Seinfeld
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Family Guy
The Simpsons
All in the Family
Night Court
WKRP in Cincinnatti (I'm and old dude so maybe many don't know this show)

I agree I love his movies and you can rewatch them again and again, especially Guffman!
share"If that's the way it is, then I hate you and I hate your ASSFACE!!"
So many great moments. "We want you to live, Corky!" The Alberts' "Midnight at the Oasis" audition; The look that Brian Doyle Murray gives to Corky when Corky comes to recruit his son for the play; "Let's do 'Covered Wagons' again!" "I smell salt water." On and on and on.
If you don't find this movie funny, you have no sense of humor.
I watched this movie for the 1st time today and i laughed so hard in the play when Eugene Levys character is cross eyed and has the beard it is sooooooo funny!
People Are Always Asking Me If I Know Tyler Durden
At the end of the Penny for your thoughts song when Corky had trouble getting down to the floor in that stupid ending pose they did. Did anyone else think it was funny when Parkey Posey was cooking one chicken wing on the charcoal grill?
shareThat cracked me up! And her duet with Corky - priceless!
