Is there a funnier 10 minutes of film

[Mr. Blonde]

Than the first 10 in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?

I am hard pressed to think of any.

[Spiffarino]

1. Monty Python's "Life of Brian"

"Do you find it amusing...when I say the name....Biggus....Dickus?!?"

[Mr. Blonde]

2. hmm.

But "We can't stop here, this is bat country." Although mine is only really funny in relation to the film.

[Spiffarino]

7. I don't want to mislead

I haven't seen "Fear and Loathing..." yet. Now that you've brought it to my attention, I have to.

;)

[tuvor]

17. I remember the first ten minutes being funny

And the rest, well...not so funny. Or entertaining.

YMMV, of course.

[Bok_Tukalo]

3. The Buddy Christ

<eom>

[Spiffarino]

4. That was good, too

Dogma is an underground classic.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

5. I laughed out loud a lot in

"O Brother Where Art Thou?"

[BeyondThePale]

6. first ten minutes of

"Raising Arizona." Too many great lines to even try to quote.

[Mr. Blonde]

10. "I found myself driving by convenience stores....

that weren't on the way home" another classic beginning. Funny movie overall as well.

8. Look what GOD made me do.

the whole Las Vegas strip scene/revolving bar/Debbie Reynolds is a friend of mine is a combo panties wetter!

I love that film, deeply. :silly:

[tridim]

13. The part where he's thinking back to the 60's is amazing..

It gives me chills every time.

Thompson's voiceover:

'...strange memories on this nervous night.....it seems like a lifetime, the kind of peak that never comes again...no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive, in that corner of time in the world.....whatever it meant....our energy would simply prevail...we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave.....and with the right kind of eyes, you can almost see the high watermark, that place where the wave finally broke, and rolled back.'

[peekaloo]

18. OMG....I was thinking about that same scene and how very

poignant it is......and the Young Rascals song playing in the background ( I think).......sweet!

[GeorgeBushytail]

9. Tons funnier

I laughed my gut out at the Bush bio film they showed at the RNC. What kidders those guys are.

[Kat45]

11. The segment with Roberto Begnini in "Night on Earth"

I laughed so hard I was rolling around with tears in my eyes--literally.

[Burma Jones]

12. Some possibilities..............

The first ten minutes of The Producers (movie) with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder.

The Big Musical Number "We're Going to War" from The Marx Brothers' Duck Soup.

The first ten minutes of South Park BLU

The "Witch" scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Almost any ten minutes from Blazing Saddles

Ten Minutes of Belushi in Animal House

[yardwork]

14. Any ten minutes from Dr. Strangelove

[Mr. Blonde]

15. I feel honor bound

to include The Big Lebowski as a nominee. It would have worked for these purposes. I just happen to be watching F&L.

Speaking of The Dude you have to respect a man who writes a check for 60 cents.

16. Pee-Wee's Big Adventure

[tridim]

19. How about "The Blues Brothers"

Elwood: It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?

Jake: Fix the cigarette lighter.

[Lancer]

20. The scenes in "Young Frankenstein"

where (1) the villagers are having the town meeting to decide how to kill the monster. This is the one where Inspector Kemp (Kenneth Mars) says "A riot is an ugly thingh. . .und I thinkgh its high time that we had one!"

(2) Sed-a-give???

(3) "Wait! Wait! I was gonna make espresso. . ."

[Spiffarino]

25. And of course...

(4)"What hump?"

[davsand]

21. I really did like Fear and Loathing.

And i still laugh when I think about that whole exchange about "I just dropped all this acid and we are how far from Vegas?" and The response, "As your lawyer, my advice to you is drive REALLY fast..."

However, I am gonna be VERY shallow and admit that the ONE movie scene I can't watch and NOT hurt later from laughing so hard, is from the Movie Naked Gun 33 1/3.

That Pia Zadora production number with Frank Drummond trying to pass as a dancer just slays me every time. I can't NOT laugh like a hyena every time...

"This could be the start of something good..."

24. Pick any random ten minutes from "The Tall Guy" with Jeff Goldblum or...

..."My Favorite Year" with Peter O'Toole. Fucking hilarious, man!

[WilliamPitt]

26. The therapy scene from Austin Powers

My father used to make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark.

Meat helmets...summers in Rangoon...standard stuff, really.

I didn't spend eight years in evil medical school to be called Mr. Evil.
